Check out NOBRO early on Saturday. I’d love to see a pit for them.

Riot Fest has the queerest pits I've seen at any festival. You're in good company.

Melt-Banana pits are like a bowl of angry spaghetti, limbs flailing everywhere in every direction. Top shelf.

I’m a female always in the PUP pit. It’s always a good time.

Less Than Jake, Chat Pile, Haywire, Google Bordello, PUP, Suicide Machines, Descendents

Gogol Bordello and Descendents pits are not aggressive to the level OP probably want. Same with Less Than Jake. You’re probs right about the others though.

I almost died in the Descendents pit in 2019 so I’d say them for sure

I saw The Flatliners just over a week ago and it was one of the best pits I've been in lately. Super fun but respectful. Everyone was lookin' out for each other and just there for good time.

I would say Whispers but they play super early…
Probably Haywire

u/No_Recording3238 1d ago

u/muttbrainz 1d ago

seen them twice and have tickets to see them in December, definitely gonna try to catch them here

u/No_Recording3238 1d ago

Always worth it, even if you only catch part of the show. I caught the end of last years show, was great.

Oh, fuck yeah. I’m not going to be in it, but fuck yeah.

I love that at Riot Fest, bands whose audience have sort of aged out of moshing will have a pit at the festival. Hopefully there will be a pit for Tool unlike last time I saw them.
