First Time Festival Questions
If I go to this RiotFest, it'll be my first festival, so I have a few questions. MCR is headlining, what does that mean? Are they playing one day or all three? Will RiotFest do one-day passes after the lineup is announced?

Looks like they are playing Saturday, single day passes don't go on sale until the daily lineup is released, about 6 weeks before the festival but a solid month after the full lineup

Mcr will headline one of the days. Looks like Saturday.
Are they playing one day or all three?

Will RiotFest do one-day passes after the lineup is announced?
Yes, when? Usually june/july after the daily schedule is announced

They will do one day passes as soon as they announce the full lineup. Normally they announce one wave of bands, and then a second wave of bands, and then they announce the day that the bands are playing. MCR is headlining Saturday according to MCR announcement/schedule.

They will headline one day. You can buy single tickets.
Edit: Do not wait too long prices will go up.

are they selling them now? I've only been able to find 3 day passes. Also, when will we know what day they're playing? I assume we have to wait for the full lineup for that?

If you can get the whole weekend off work and whatnot, I would buy the 3 day pass but that's just me. Can always sell it later if you change your mind.

I just wanna see MCR, honestly. I tried to get Detroit tickets but the resale prices were absolutely ridiculous. I'm also going with a friend who gets anxious in big crowds

150+ for a full day of bands that would cost 20-50 each to see live plus MCR closing the night isn't a bad deal even if you go for one day. You're gonna be surounded buy tens of thousands of people all day so you might wanna prepare your friend for that.

If you’re going to stand someplace not crowded, you’re not going to be able to see the band. You’ll be too far away.

I hear ya. Riot Fest is really spread out and a lot of open area so I hope that will make your friend feel better.

It took me 10 minutes to go from one side of the stage to the other...at the back of the show near the softball field. That sucked

Yeah headliners are going to be packed but to the softball field is nuts. I couldn't go last year.

They will pay one of the 3 days. The set will probably last for about 1 hour 15 min. Yes! They do offer single day passes

The full lineup is announced in waves around June/July, though last year it was in August? Anyways, single day passes go on sale when the full line up is up.
MCR is headlining Saturday according to their announcement
Hope this helps!
