Random Acts of Festival Kindness
A quick Riot Fest scene check: a user on r/riotfest reported that around 7pm a man tapped them on the shoulder, asked if they were solo, and — since he was leaving for the day — handed over his deluxe bracelet. That one gesture moved the poster about five times closer for sets by Jawbreaker and Green Day. The post (u/thekidwiththelisp) blew up in the subreddit, and people were showing love for the mystery fan, “Brian.”
Deluxe bracelets can mean real proximity to the stage, and this was one of those small moments that changes a festival day for someone. Good on fans who look out for each other.
- Pay it forward — if you can, a small gesture goes a long way.
- Look out for solo attendees who might want to tag along for a set.
- Quick reminder: always check festival transfer and security policies before accepting wristbands.
If you were the Brian in question — or the person who got his bracelet — drop a note in the comments or on the Riot Fest thread. Moments like this are the best kind of festival story.
