We sent our resident Chicago photographer Mat Stokes out to Riot Fest. Here’s what he came back with!
RIOT FEST: FRIDAY
By Mat Stokes
Andrew WK uses the power of partying to summon the sun...
...and the crowd responds in kind.
Greg Graffin and Jay Bently of Bad Religion proving that they may be growing up but, by no means getting old.
True punk rockers only get finer with age.
The Flatliners opened Friday by encouraging the crowd to count their bruises.
Jon Darbey putting that 5th string to good use.
Joan Jett brought it like only someone of her experience could.
Just, top of the line rock and/or roll.
Intruder Blue is in unrequited love.
Intruder Orange lighting up the night to make for an easy get away.
Intruder Green demonstrates with his feet just how high you should stick 'em up.
Intruder Red robbing someone with his eyes.
