Get to know the 2023 Riff Fest lineup below! Read why Bad Omens is my new favorite band here.
I Prevail
You know and love I Prevail! They are one of Michigan's biggest rock success stories. They're selling out shows left and right, so it's fantastic to have them coming home to headline Riff Fest.
Bad Omens
Bad Omens features Noah Sebastian [vocals], Joakim “Jolly” Karlsson [guitar], Nick Ruffilo [bass], and Nick Folio [drums]. They are my new favorite band! Check them out.
Badflower
Badflower features Josh Katz [lead singer, guitarist], Joey Morrow [lead guitar, backing vocals], Alex Espiritu [bass], and Anthony Sonetti [drums]. They're a great, old school-sounding rock outfit!
Giovannie and The Hired Guns
The Stephenville, Texas-based five-piece ascended to new heights with their smash hit, "Ramon Ayala."
Brkn Love
Look for a cool alt sound with Brkn Love!
Des Rocs
One of the WRIF's new favorites!
Tigercub
Tigercub have firmly displayed their ability to lacerate the surface with ease with thundering "I.W.G.F.U."
