Riot Fest 2025, celebrating 20 years of bringing us insane lineups and all our favorite bands reuniting. Your girl on the rail, Kim Moenich, attended the anniversary fest and is here to tell you all about it.

After waiting nearly three decades, I finally got to see Texas Is The Reason at a small club in Chicago, with one of my other favorite bands, Samiam, all thanks to Riot Fest 2025.
