Photos: Aim High, Angine de Poitrine, Social Distortion, Morrissey and Tool on Riot Fest Day 2
Day 2 of Riot Fest will end hours earlier on Saturday due to “inclement weather,” organizers announced late Saturday afternoon, but that didn’t stop the music.
Chicago band Aim High kicked off the second day with its hearty blend of hardcore, alt-rock and pop punk. Headliners Nas and Tool were moved up the schedule, with sets at 6:20 p.m. and 6 p.m., respectively, ahead of the “torrential downpours” predicted to hit the Chicago area starting around 7 p.m.
Here’s what we saw on Day 2 of the festival.
