Memories of Riot Youth Barrie

What was Riot Youth Barrie.

Riot Youth Barrie was a youth oriented organization that had all ages concerts in 2001 - 2002.  Riot Youth Barrie Brought great bands like The Sallies, Constable Brennan, The Class.  They also featured local bands including Laugh out Loud, Pink Slip, Tried It, 420, and more.

The History

In 2001, Riot Youth Barrie held a monthly All Ages concert series at the Barrie Native Friendship Centre.  On October 27, 2001 Riot Youth Barrie planned to have a marathon concert and unfortunately, that concert had to be shortened due to venue rules
