We've been receiving a ton of e-mails whether tickets for ALL will be back on sale... and yes, they will be back on sale when the entire show is announced in June.
HOWEVER, if you're an out-of-towner and would like to purchase tickets before then, please contact us at info@riotfest.org and we'll arrange something for you. Thanks!
ALL Reunites for Riot Fest 2008 in Chicago
Riot Fest has just confirmed that legendary punk band ALL will be reuniting for Riot Fest 2008, Oct. 10-12 in Chicago, Illinois. The band will be reuniting with the Allroy's Revenge, Allroy Saves, Perculator and Trailblazer lineup, which includes Scott Reynolds (vocals), Bill Stevenson (drums), Karl Alvarez (guitar) and Stephen Egerton (bass). This ALL lineup has not performed together in 20 years.
"Stephen is going to jump a motorcycle over 10 flaming school buses, then save all the children inside them before they burn up! Bill is going to levitate, then disappear, then reappear on Karl's shoulders who will be riding a unicycle on a tightrope made from dental floss suspended 100 ft. above the stage. And I'm going to give one lucky audience member a makeover that will take 10 years off his/her appearance! So we better start practicing!! Everybody should come because it's going to rock sooo hard," said Reynolds of the band's reunion.
Riot Fest is planning on many other additional surprises and reunions in the upcoming months, but wanted the ALL/Descendents fans to know about the reunion in advance so they can make the proper arrangements to see this one-off reunion.
Because of this, tickets for ALL's Riot Fest 2008 mainstage performance (Oct. 12 at the Congress Theatre) will go on sale Thursday, April 24 at 8 a.m. CST on www.indietickets.com for the weekend or until these limited tickets sell out.
For more information and/or interviews, please contact info@riotfest.org.

Riot Fest 2008 Dates Announced
Because many of you are travelling and have been asking for Riot Fest 2008 dates, here they are:
October 10, 11 and 12
Yes, it's a month earlier than in year's past. Why? November is cold as shit in Chicago. The good thing, for all of you youngins' and college folk, the day after Riot Fest is Columbus Day, so you'll have off from school to recover fully.
Also, we will begin accepting band submissions for openers/second stage at the end of this month through Sonic Bids, because, honestly, we get so many hard-copy submissions that it just becomes too overwhelming. This makes it that much easier for you and us. An exact date will be announced soon.
As for the 2008 lineup, plan to be stoked. RF2008 is shaping up to be the strongest lineup yet!
Take care and see all you chaps in October!!
