The schedule for Riot Fest 2017 is imminent (I hope). Some believe even this Wednesday. Once it’s released, a game plan of who to see and when will be necessary. With that in mind, what are the top three acts each day you want to see, plus one sneaky under the radar band you had never listed to until about three months ago?
For me (with after show bands discounted as they can be skipped):
Friday: Descendents, Cock Sparrer, Rancid and the sneaky pick is Hot Water Music
Saturday: Manchester Orchestra, Surfer Blood, Masked Intruder and the sneaky pick is The HU
Sunday: Bob Mould (#1 choice for entire weekend), The Raconteurs, Patti Smith and the sneaky pick of Dave Hause
