Riot Fest Chicago roared through some rain and poor weather in its opening day this year. However, it quickly made up in the sheer amount of musical talent that hit the stages.
Festival-goers were treated to the likes of No Doubt, Ice Cube, Faith No More, Coheed and Cambria, White Mystery, Skinny Lister, Thrice, Antrax, Against Me!, Atreyu, Living Colour, Death, Fishbone, and The Coathangers.
No Doubt frontwoman Gwen Stefani took this rock show to a whole new level. During the group’s hit single “Hey Baby,” Stefani jumped into the pit and climbed on top of the barricade, singing to the crowd directly below. She even pulled a fan up to take a selfie in the sea of fans.
