Riot Fest 2023 Tour • Page 83

Bone Thugs probably out, playing with LL Cool J, etc on August 13 at United Center

 

Cheap trick is out. Playing the last show of the 40 year celebration line of shows for metro

 

Gym class hero’s and grey scale are out. Playing Aragon the week after riot

 

More importantly, All Time Low is out LOL

 

Rise against is playing blue ridge. I’d say they are in play to play this year even tho they just played back in 2021

 

Hopefully they wait until next year and do Siren Song in full

 

Doubt that will ever happen. Zack has been asking the rest of the band to do full album plays and always gets told no

 

Circle Jerks in play?

 

I think it's likely. Played in 2021 and no Chicago date on either of their tours.

 

Rise Against is probably on stand by more than in play

in the dugout with Alkaline Trio

 

a third year of alkaline, a third year of taking back sunday

 

speaking of trio, im very interested to hear what these lads cook up, but also would see them at riot without hearing a single song, haha

 

I know you can just skip their set and all, and I know this festival thrives on bringing back its staples, but I would love if there was like a 5 year gap between Rise Against playing again, personally. They take up a higher spot that I feel a band that plays Riot more infrequently, or even as a first timer, could be booked in.

 

Nope.. TBS has played every Riot since 2017

 

I got some bad news for you if you plan on going this year...

and next year too

 

The years rise against has played: 2012, 2014, 2019, 2021. The only reason they played in 21 is cuz someone dropped. People think they have played more but they haven’t. They never played it when it was multi venues throughout the city

 

good lord

 

You can honestly make the argument TBS has played every year since 2013. 2016 is the only year they didn't play the actual fest since then, but they still played an official aftershow at the Metro.

 

Shit forgot that, I say it counts... so they are tied with Andrew WK for second most for Chicago behind Gwar I think then

TBS might legit be 50-50 or less this year though.. unless they get added late again, which I'm thinking they don't because last year they played Tinley on July 8, this year they play July 21 (a Friday, so if they'd announce it'd be like the 25th or 26th) which is pretty late to announce even as a second wave I think

 

Taking Back Sunday is the house band at this point.

 

Since it’s moved outside tbs has played every year except 2012 and 2016

 

and the one year TBS WAS going to take off but they got pulled in last minute with RTJ and weezer

 

Like someone said, they played a Riot after show in 2016.. counting it is discretionary though

Riot Fest & Carnival After Shows

 

I knew they played after show in 2016 I just didn’t go.

 

My bad bro lol.. just having a little light hearted discussion here
