Description of Riot Fest

Date: October 10-12, 2008

Cost: varies (see below)

What to expect: Four rockin' shows spread out across four venues over three days. We're talking mosh-inducing rock.

Why to go: Bouncing Souls headline the House of Blues show on Friday, which should be awesome (and is one of the cheapest HOB tickets we've seen in some time). Of course, the Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Jay Reatard at the Congress Theatre on Sunday should be great as well. The full schedule:
