This weekend Riot Fest East will be taking over the city of Brotherly Love, showcasing locals as well as imported classic and new pop punk favorites at Festival Pier. After three hiatuses and reformations, the legendary Descendents will be gracing the stage with their small town punk rock sounds, bound to bring back classics like "Silly Girl" and "Clean Sheets". Shredding alongside them will be hometown heroes, The Dead Milkmen. Also being recently united, the four-piece will be sure to keep satirical punk alive and well. Other local greats set to perform include The Holy Mess, who will be rocking out with Anti Flag and NOFX on October 18 at the TLA, and Epitaph record’s hot recently signed talent, The Menzingers, who not too long ago shared a tour with Against Me!. The weather may be cruddy, but one thing’s for sure – the rain won’t stop Riot Fest from bringing the noise! Festival Pier, Columbus Blvd. & Spring Garden St., 12pm, $34.50 (plus fees), All Ages – Emma Branson
