Riot Fest Contest

Posted on August 29, 2014 By Sammy Younan No Comments on Riot Fest Contest

Our Riot Fest contest is now closed! Thank you to all who entered, you’re all No. 1 in our hearts. Congrats to winner Amber Bordun (Those jeers and rotten fruit hurtling your way is all out of love, I’m sure)…Y super gracias a Katherine McFarlane at Union Events East for providing the tickets. They’re still available at Toronto.RiotFest.org; Riot Fest Toronto goes down next weekend (Sept. 6-7), and is going to be hotter and wilder than any university frosh week!

All you need to do is submit a comment with the band you’re most looking forward to seeing.
