Riot Fest East 2011 - Unforgettable!
by Jamitha on 9/26/11Festival Pier (at Penn's Landing) - PhiladelphiaRed Bull Riot Fest East was amazing. The stages were well set up, the times accomodated everyone's needs so it was easy to catch every band I wanted to see, and the sound was excellent! Getting to see 10+ classic punk bands all in one place in one day, for only $35 a ticket was mind blowing, and I can't wait to go again next year! Also, $5 Sailor Jerry drinks was a fantastic deal. Everyone who worked at the festival was extremely helpful and accomodatig. (All except for one female bartender in the tent - she was so rude we walked away without ordering anything, partly because we didn't want to deal with her, and also because when she informed us they had "no more" of Sailor after we saw one of the other bartenders pull 5 brand new bottles out of the box, she completely turned away from us and started asking other people what they wanted to drink. We refused to go back to the bar in the tent after that). Despite that one blip, it was, all in all, an amazing day. Lets hope Red Bull keeps this event going for years to come!
