An attendee yells and holds up the devil horn hand gesture at the Radical Stage barricade during Haywire 617's set at Riot Fest on Sunday, Sept. 20, 2026.
A long line of early attendees waited outside as the festival announced on their social media that doors for day three were delayed until 2 p.m., citing the overnight rain and moistness of the venue grounds. The scheduled start and opening of the festival was originally 11:30 a.m.
Despite the delay, attendees made the most of their late afternoon and evening. Headline acts of day three were Pierce The Veil and Insane Clown Posse.
