Riot Fest 2021 (September 17-19, Chicago IL) Tour • Page 188

Oh yeah, Devo is a high-priority. I’ve been dying to see them for years

 

Ah that's good to know thanks! The "sell out" last week definitely had me freaking out, but I dont think Im gonna worry about tickets until we get closer.

 

I'd suggest sending a direct message to @manoverboard365 instead

 

I'm debating on going Friday and Sunday now. Beach Bunny, PUP, Alex G, Ratboys, Pet Symmetry, Girlpuppy, Meet Me @ The Altar, Skating Polly, Kississippi, and Jackie Hayes are all enticing but they are also all smaller acts who will be touring again eventually after, so we'll see.

 

I hope MGK clashes with Pixies (so I can see MGK hehe, dont kill me)

 

Friday is the only day i REALLY like but Riotfest happens on my 20 mile weekend run for the marathon, like literally the next morning. would not be upset if i skipped Riotfest this year.

 

I did it back in 2016. it was nice to have the VIP area to use the bathrooms conveniently and there was some tables to sit at between acts and what not but I think that year they only gave you two drinks. I cant remember what other perks came with it. Not sure if they've changed or if id put much stock in it since it was 5 years ago.

 

I wonder who support for the Silverstein tour In November will be now. Four year strong was originally on that tour

 

A friend lives in Humboldt Park and wants to go for the first time so I think I’m going to go Saturday and then hope for a couple fun after shows. Back to all weekend in 2022.

 

Friday:
Smashing Pumpkins, Coheed & Cambria, Sublime with Rome, Motion City Soundtrack, Thrice, Circa Survive, Meg Myers

Saturday:
Run the Jewels, Rancid, Taking Back Sunday, Mayday Parade, Bayside, Andrew WK, Four Year Strong, Best Coast

Sunday:
Nine Inch Nails, Pixies, Machine Gun Kelly, Devo, New Found Glory, Simple Plan, Thursday, Knuckle Puck, Gwar, Kennyhoopla

I also need to finally listen to these bands that I hear good things about: Pup, Meet Me @ The Altar, Citizen, K Flay, The Bronx

 

Someone recommended you send me a message about my 3 day pass so here is me doing that!

Also check out Morbid Stuff by PUP and Youth by Citizen!

 

Looks like the 5 beverage tickets you get with VIP is only applicable to 3-day passes. Private bar/restrooms i guess are nice, will see what the price ends up being.

 

Coheed/Thrice/Circa/PUP/BB all on the same day? Uhhhh yeah this is fuckin easy, guess I'm only going one day this year

 

I wonder if they will at some point do 2 day passes...

 

my initial reactions. if a band is untouched it just means i dont have an opinion on them yet and have some discovering to do. will take suggestions based off what i already do and dont like, haha.

glad they saved all the heavy stuff for sunday so i dont get burnt out too early

 

yeah we did a 3 day when we did it

lot of ifs and maybes would have to fall into place for me to actually go but fuck Im definitely gonna try to

 

Definitely did not see Man on Man on there at first. You’re sleeping if you’re not catching them.

 

Friday
Top picks: Smashing Pumpkins, Motion City Soundtrack, Pup, Beach Bunny, Kississippi

Want to see: Coheed and Cambria, NOFX, Circa Survive, Meet Me @ the Altar, Beach Goons

Circa Survive would be higher if I wasn't seeing the BSN tour in January


Saturday
Top picks: Run the Jewels, Best Coast, Citizen, Just Friends

Would like to see: Rancid, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Taking Back Sunday, Vic Mensa, State Champs, Big Freedia, Fucked Up, Bayside, Man on Man, Andrew W.K.

I hope they don't put Rancid against Run the Jewels. If Mayday Parade did their self-titled, that would get them in top picks, but I doubt it, so probably a skip for me.


Sunday
Top picks: Pixies, Devo, Simple Plan, Ratboys

Would like to see: Nine Inch Nails, Devo, New Found Glory, Fever 333, mgk, Thursday, Bleached

Definitely the weakest day, but should also be fun since I won't really care that much about who I've got to see next and can just enjoy the day. I am kind of excited for PIxies though cus I got really into Doolittle this year.

 

That's a cool add for sure. One of the guys is in Faith No More, right? Never occurred to me that might get added but made perfect sense when I saw it

 

Yep! It’s going to be a gay old time!

 

Fri - Smashing Pumpkins, Coheed, NOFX, Sublime, MCS, Circa survive, Larry Arms, PUP, Living Colour, Meg Myers, Beach Bunny, Amigo the Devil, Meet me @ the Altar, Kississippi.

Sat - RTJ, Rancid, TBS, Gogol Bordello, Bayside, Best Coast, Joywave

Sun - NFG, Thursday Knuckle puck, GWAR, Ratboys, Pet Symmetry.

I wonder which day will have more more conflicts....

 

I’ll be there Saturday for the free beer.
