After months and months of anticipation, the WRIF announced the official 2024 Riff Fest lineup this week. Last year’s event was such a great time and brought many favorite Riff Fest memories. Everyone at WRIF is really stoked to celebrate another great year with you at this live event. If this is your first Riff Fest, then you’re in for a treat. Riff Fest is an annual tradition, and every year, we love bringing the show to you.
Last year’s Riff Fest was completely sold out. The 2023 edition featured sets from Michigan’s own I Prevail, as well as Bad Omens, Rival Sons, Badflower and Giovannie and the Hired Guns, Des Rocs, Tigercub and Brkn Love. Since I Prevail are from the Detroit area, it was a total local party at the show. This year, I Prevail is touring with Halestorm, and they continue to forge ahead and represent Michigan on the national scene. Another big draw in 2023 was Bad Omens, who hit it big with their TikTok hit, “Just Pretend.” The band’s set featured lots of new cuts off their 2023 album, “The Death of Peace of Mind.” This year’s RiffFest lineup promises an awesome lineup with Godsmack, Seether, Asking Alexandria, Wage War, Sleep Theory, Royale Lynn, Fame on Fire and more.

Looking back on Riff Fest memories, it’s difficult to pick a favorite, especially if you’ve gone many years. “Hard to pick one favorite memory of all the Riff Fests we’ve done,” says WRIF’s Jade. “We’ve had so many incredible bands through the years who have done so many amazing things with WRIF and all of the fans who come to the show.” That said, the WRIF jocks are looking back on their favorite Riff Fest memories and moments of all time. It’s cool to see people like Meltdown and Jade who have been to tons of Riff Fests name their favorite moments.
