NO Air horns
NO Audio/Video equipment of any kind
NO Bicycles, rollerblades, skateboards, scooters
NO Cantaloupe
That’s exactly what it says on the first few items of the list of banned items from Riot Fest in Chicago.
But cantaloupe?! Why?? What did cantaloupe do?
Riot Fest is a huge rock festival that takes place in the middle of September in Chicago. This year’s lineup includes Foo Fighters, The Cure, The Postal Service, Death Cab For Cutie, Queens Of The Stone Age, and more. Sounds like the best weekend ever!!! When the lineup was announced, concertgoers (again) asked why cantaloupe is banned from the festival grounds. It’s been on the list for years. Their answer? “Cantaloupe is a garbage fruit.” HA!
They also listed on their FAQ page:
NO Crying
NO Pineapple on pizza
NO Littering
NO Kid Rock’s stupid a** and any Kid Rock fans
NO Eve 6 or people who follow Eve 6 on Twitter
Did they make themselves clear? See their FAQ page HERE.
