Riot Tickets

Riot began as a New York City metal force in 1975, laying the groundwork for a sound that would influence power metal and classic heavy metal for decades. After the passing of guitarist Mark Reale, the band rebranded as Riot V in 2013, continuing the legacy with the same fierce spirit and musicianship. They are known for a blend of melodic riffing, twin guitar harmonies, and lyrical storytelling that resonates with metal fans worldwide.

Riot V earned renewed recognition with their later releases and a hall of fame honor, highlighting their enduring impact on the metal scene. As they approach a landmark anniversary, Riot V fans can expect a robust live show that honors the band’s origins while pushing forward with new material and electrifying performances.
