Riot Fest changed the festival game this year in a big way; it’s been the fest’s largest number of one-off reunion acts ever. With The Prodigy, Ice Cube & Special Guests covering Straight Outta Compton, Snoop Dogg playing Doggystyle, The Academy Is… playing Almost Here, The Ataris playing Blue Skies and Broken Hearts...Next 12 Exits, L7, The Movielife, Modern Life is War playing Witness, Alexisonfire, Rancid playing ...And Out Come The Wolves and (probably) more, the air this year was nostalgic to say the least.

As Riot Fest inches closer to it’s biggest and baddest debut, it’s time for you to know what to sing during this year’s fest. Changing the scenery from Humboldt Park to Douglas Park, we hope to catch you at Riot Fest this year to dance with us. Filled with old, new and reunited acts, there is a little bit of everything this year at Riot Fest. With the help of Ruby Hornet contributor, Bridjet Mendyuk, we’ve put together 10 songs that are essential to your Riot weekend. If you haven’t yet, you can still get your tickets here.
