"Ra Ra Riot" was sort of what went down last year when the Fling headliner was eventually announced, but now it's 2014's second opening band, UTB can officially confirm. They're no Janelle Monae, but the indie rock group has quite a following. Still, the Riot is not as big as the last alternative band opener, leading us to believe that the Magic Man/Ra Ra ticket is affordable enough to save room for a big azz headliner. Last year, two highish-profile openers led to an anticlimax, so this year, we expect two lower-profile acts to make way for a star.
