Riot Fest 2023 Tour • Page 29

Parkway are in that weird situation like Bring me The Horizon where they are way too big for any sort of club tours, but arenas will all be half full at best.

 

Fall Out Boy (Take This To Your Grave 20th anniversary show)
Op Ivy
Depeche Mode or The Cure or Blur

 

I would be all about this!

 

The Strokes
Green Day
Op Ivy

 

If true (I don’t buy it but if it is), I will be as far away from it as possible (Pantera not Postal Service)

 

Not sure if it really matters much but they have a Chicago date on 08/09/2024 at Soldier Field

 

How funny would Postal Service into Pantera be on the Main Stage

 

I’m going with Green Day, Postal Service, & Deftones for now

 

Id like to think (hope) Bauhaus might tour North America in 2023 and reschedule their appearance at the fest

 

First of the year way-too-early prediction/wishlist with clash finder

 

I will be happy if this was the lineup. I would be pissed by Saturday overlaps tho

 

All I want is a festival where I can see Ying Yang Twins and Kenny Loggins back to back

 

I needed Danger Zone to be the next ironic mosh

 

Nofx def getting a headliner day

 

Headliners prediction:
Fall Out Boy
Green Day
The Cure

 

that would be a dream come true

 

This would be a ballin’ set of headliners

 

Would absolutely lose my shit. That'd be worth literally taking a Lyft at like 7 PM and just going for the headliners.

 

Fall Out Boy, Green Day, and the Cure seem like a very reasonable set of headliners! I would be all about it.

With Fall Out Boy, though, I do think it kinda depends on the approach they want to take with marketing the next album, I could also see Fall Out Boy taking a direct support slot at Lolla instead of a headlining slot at Riot Fest... Even if it's not a "pop" record it might make more sense.

I'm assuming NOFX will be headlining a stage again (probably Roots; directly before whoever headlines) with all of the bands on that stage being curated/picked by Fat Mike.

 

For those keeping score at home: I think it's safe to rule out a good chunk of the regularly requested, younger ska acts this year. We Are the Union, Catbite, Kill Lincoln, and Bad Operation are all playing Chicago in July.

 

Off topic but this is actually an amazing lineup. I just may have to hit up the Chicago show.

 

Yeah, that tour is killer! And I'm actually an idiot. Haha. These bands were out, anyway, as they're all playing Supernova Ska that same weekend.

Also more than likely ruled out: Fishbone, the Suicide Machines, Cherry Poppin' Daddies, the Pietasters, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Planet Smashers, and the Toasters.

 

So sick of Suicide Machines not playing

 

It's possible bands could play one fest on Friday and the other on Sunday but I doubt it will be more than a few at most

J Navarro's other band is playing Supernova, so I'd consider Suicide Machines very very unlikely

PEARS are probably out too since one of the members is in Bad Operation


Foo Fighters are teasing a return, but I think they are too big for Riot or you'll get overcrowded chaos like for MCR last year

 

I imagine the Foos do Lolla or headline a stadium
