Three-day passes are now on sale at riotfest.org. Single-day passes will go on sale next week.
In an unprecedented move, festival organizers also announced a ticket on-sale for the 2022 edition of the festival (slated for Sept. 16-18, 2022) revealing My Chemical Romance is already scheduled to perform.
