Loviet at Riot Fest 2025 | Arena Energy, New Single Day & Old-School Grit

We caught up with Loviet at Riot Fest 2025 right after a fired-up 12:30 PM set. She breaks down her “arena energy in a bar” ethos, how she balances shine and grit (big-record production meets unpolished honesty), and why festivals are her favorite place to win over new fans. Loviet talks rotating lineups (playing as a 2/3/4-piece and making it feel huge), film/TV inspirations (OC-era teen drama romance + killer playlists), and keeping it old-school on gear—amps, pedals, wedges over in-ears. Set notes include opener “Wouldn’t Give,” loose soundchecks, and a dream on-stage cameo: Josh Ramsay. Up next: Brooklyn (Sultan Room Rooftop), Cicada Fest (Canada) with Sam Roberts, and new music (listen for “Stiffy”). Highlights “Arena energy” even at 12:30 PM Festivals vs. clubs: adrenaline and winning new ears Shine vs. grit: big-studio feel, zero plastic Gear love: amps + pedals + wedges What’s next: shows + new releases 🎥 Interview by Music Coast at Riot Fest 2025 🔗 More from us: <a href="https://links.musiccoast.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://links.musiccoast.com</a>
