The Riot festival tour roared back into action this weekend as we returned to the iconic Milton Keynes Bowl. Saturday was all about one thing: Chase & Status. With the DJ superstars headlining, we knew we were in for a night of heavy bass, big beats, and an atmosphere that would be off the charts. But just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, UK rap megastar Stormzy made a surprise appearance that blew the roof off the place (ok, so there is no roof at the bowl but you get the idea).
The Riot Bus: The Ultimate Party Hub
As soon as the gates opened, the Riot bus became the ultimate festival hangout. Our crew picked up right where we left off from Reggae Land, making sure everyone was decked out in our now-famous pink bucket hats. The demand was insane—people were queuing for up to half an hour just to get their hands on one! By the time Chase & Status hit the stage, the Bowl was a sea of pink, and the energy was unreal.
But it wasn’t just about the hats. Our Riot Connex vape was the talk of the festival. We couldn’t restock fast enough as festival-goers raved about the flavours and the device itself. It’s safe to say we’ve made a lot of new fans this weekend.
Chase & Status Bring the Heat with a Stormzy Surprise
Chase & Status delivered a mind-blowing set that had everyone bouncing from start to finish. From old-school anthems to their latest hits, the boys reminded everyone why they’re at the top of their game.
But the night reached a whole new level when Stormzy made an unexpected appearance. As the intro to their new single ‘Backbone’ started playing, the crowd went wild. Then, out of nowhere, Stormzy stepped onto the stage and delivered a powerhouse performance that sent shockwaves through the Bowl. The energy was off the charts as he and Chase & Status tore through the track, creating a moment that no one in the crowd will ever forget.
VIP Treatment: The Best View in the House
Our competition winners and special guests enjoyed the best view in the house from the Riot bus’s top deck. It was the perfect spot to soak in the electric atmosphere and witness the surprise Stormzy appearance up close. With the Bowl transformed into a pulsating mass of music, light, and pure adrenaline, it was a night that’ll be talked about for years to come.
The Tour Continues
With Chase & Status and Stormzy in the books, Saturday was nothing short of epic. But we’re not slowing down just yet. Keep an eye on our socials—our content team was out in full force, scoring interviews with big names like Nessa, Yungblud, and even Danny Dyer. You won’t want to miss the exclusive content we’ve got coming your way.
Next up? We’re heading to Chelmsford, Essex, for New World Festival. The Riot bus will be there, and this time, we’ll even have our own Riot Noise stage! It’s going to be massive, so make sure you’re there.
See you at the next one!
