Riot Fest 2018 - September 14-16 - Douglas Park, Chicago Tour • Page 226

Archie Powell & the Exports is the polka band that played the teaser songs in the video before first wave.

 

TY!

 

Your negativity all over this thread is incredible haha
I will take this as a down year and they will come back strong next year.
The previous few years that I have gone have all gone down as some of my favorite weekends ever.

 

FEAR & Bouncing Souls though.

 

hell yeah you had me at saving my beer money

 

I wouldn't be negative about it if they handled their shit appropriately. That cannot be excused. Enjoy your weekend.

 

Things happen, not everything always goes according to plan. I agree there are ways they could've handled this all better, but I don't think anything was done with malicious intentions. If you don't want to go I understand and that's your decision, but I think the rest of us are still pretty excited and happy now that we have the info.

 

lol.

 

Really wish they could have spread some of those Fri/Sun bands to Saturday, I might just skip the fest that day and go fuck around Chicago

 

Where is The Early November?? I feel lied to.

 

I’m real sad about TEN. I’ll never see them again at this rate! Lol.

 

There is no way they didn't know ????? wasn't going to happen yesterday afternoon when they released the updated poster.

If so, that is such raging incompetence that my moderately incompetent ass is astounded by it.

 

you and me both!

 

another question here:

since state champs isn’t on riot at all — should i buy tickets to that after show?

or, given that sum 41 will probably have a wild conflict (due to how stacked friday is), do i buy tickets to that aftershow?

 

Yeah think I might do a Six Flags run on Saturday. There's no secure way to pass off three day passes to someone for that though, is there?

 

If it was really Bauhaus then they might have been waiting till the very last second if they thought their visas would get approved.

However, I would expect a backup plan. Unless RTJ was the backup plan.

 

If it's someone that you trust won't use it on Sunday

If you're just looking to get rid of it I will take it! And not use it Sunday lol

 

bless your heart

 

Who else is dipping after Trio Sunday?

 

I have to get confirmation from the third, but there's a good possibility I'll have three passes for someone to borrow for Saturday - do need them back for Sunday though.

 

FRIDAY
Yes - Weezer, Bleachers, Atmosphere, Matt & Kim, Sum 41, The Front Bottoms, Liz Phair, The Aquabats, The Fever 333

If Time Allows - Young the Giant, Taking Back Sunday, Dropkick Murphys, Cypress Hill, K.Flay, Digable Planets, Lagwagon, Direct Hit!

SATURDAY
Yes - Beck, Elvis Costello & the Imposters, Wolfmother, Andrew WK, GWAR, Bully

Maybe - Twin Peaks, Cat Power, Street Dogs, Cobra Skulls

SUNDAY
Yes - Run the Jewels, Incubus, Alkaline Trio, Underoath, The Wonder Years, Calpurnia, Just Friends

Maybe - Bad Religion, Suicidal Tendencies, Clutch, Superchunk, The Bouncing Souls, Kevin Devine, Spitalfield, Mom Jeans, Pronoun, Save Face

 

It doesn’t have to be malicious to still be completely inappropriate. If they had said months ago that this was the lineup and released single days and aftershows and then suddenly with a week left said “Surprise! We have Bauhaus!” this thread would be an entirely different place. You can’t just leave people hanging and on top of it have no payoff.

 

I’m really stoked for all three days. Saturday is a lesser for me but... Still pretty strong.

Just means fewer conflicts!

 

I wish Blondie was on Saturday because I feel like she won't headline the stage with Underoath

 

Sure you can.
