The BIG BANG

Riot Fest storm Brooklyn

Last year, Riot Fest—which began in Chicago in 2005—set up shop in Philadelphia for the first time, an expansion that evidently succeeded as planned: This year, new versions of the fast-and-loud festival are sprouting up in Toronto, Dallas, and Brooklyn, where globe-tripping gypsy-punk madmen Gogol Bordello and SoCal skate-core lifers the Descendents will headline an all-day show at Williamsburg Park. Also on the bill: post-hardcore rockers Hot Water Music, on tour in support of their first album since 2004; New Brunswick sludge popsters Screaming Females; and the Bronx, who in fact hail from Los Angeles.
