Riot Fest 2024 Tour • Page 134

I’m also on there. Mine is “Bowelhaus”. Appreciate any help

 

Does anyone wanna tell her the location changed? Lmao

 

Someone on Reddit mentioned that both Riot and New England Metal and Hardcore Festival have listed Suicidal Tendencies playing on Sunday 22nd.


And on their official website they list both festivals on the same day.

 

Any word on when aftershows will be announced?

 

Hopefully soon. We are nearing a month out and I feel like most of us here have other shows we are interested in (not related to Riot Fest) that we are considering going to or just other potential expenses, and it'd be nice to have the aftershows announced so people can decide. I feel like they should be announced ASAP because people need time to budget/plan/etc.

 

Pitchfork aftershows announced - June 12, 2024
Pitchfork Music Festival - July 19 (beginning date)
37 days between announcement and start of the festival

Lollapalooza aftershows announced - May 28, 2024
Lollapalooza - August 1, 2024 (beginning date)
65 days between announcement and start of the festival

Today - August 8, 2024
Riot Fest - September 20, 2024 (beginning date)
Currently 43 days between today and the start of the festival

 

Also sorry for the triple post but I feel like once aftershows are announced they should have at least one shuttle drop off at each of the aftershow venues. Which, again, people need time to plan for (even if not, people still need to plan how they are getting to an aftershow)

 

If it helps, here are the dates they were announced in the last couple of years
2023 - August 8
2022 - August 10
2021 - August 19
2019 - August 8
2018 - August 15
2017 - August 15

So it should be this week or the next

 

Fall Out Boy at the Metro run it back?

 

ive been playing around with my mock stage line up/band order and the biggest swing im taking is that there wont be a dedicated 'main stage' across the weekend. my theory is based on riot mike saying in that interview that FOB will be playing the metro stage, but why single them out and not say beck and slayer too?
so my thought is friday Metro will be the 'main stage' while the 2 Rockaway Beach stages will be the Mains on Saturday * sunday
A very brief overview of my prediction, though a few random acts here and there are so hard to categorize but slotting them best i can. and i left off NOFX since that one is pretty self explanatory/self contained

fri
metro - FOB +pop punk emo
AAA - publice enemy + hip hop/reggae
rockaway 1 - offspring + punk/rock
rockaway 2 - sum 41 + punk/rock

sat
rockaway 1 - beck +indi
rockaway 2 - pavement + indi / rock
metro - st. vincent +female artist or electronic leaning
AAA - machester orc + emo/post hardcore/rock

sun
rockaway 1 - slayer + metal/hardcore
rockaway 2 - rob zombie + metal/hardcore
metro - sublime + the more mellow artist
AAA - oliver tree + hip hop/electronic leaning ( however i can be talked into swapping this being headlined by dr. dog and be the 'mellow stage' and having oliver tree be right before sublime)

 

They effectively already have this.

Gman = Metro
Delilah's = Delilah's (although I can't recall the last time they put on a show but I don't really pay attention)
Avondale Tap = Sleeping Village
Concord = Concord/Subt
Cobra Lounge = Cobra Lounge/Bottom Lounge
Harold Washington = Reggie's (this is a bit of a walk but whatever)
Novel Pizza = Thalia Hall (would be my guess)

 

Cobra Lounge also works for Bottom Lounge

 

Added it before you replied.

 

Thanks for this. I figured it would be soon, just been checked out because of Lolla and travel.

 

Maybe Concord can help for Empty Bottle and maybe Chop Shop too. Not sure if there is one closer to them, as it can be a long walk from Concord to them

 

I thought he was just teasing one of the bands playing (FOB) and mentioned that they were playing on the metro stage, which they have in the past. I would doubt they would switch which is the main stage over the weekend. Also, the Metro is the stage with the special viewing areas. So I’m pretty confident that it will be the main stage all weekend.

 

Humboldt might make more sense for the Bottle. But yeah, for Chop Shop it makes sense.

 

Spoon/A Giant Dog September 21 at Metro according to Reddit

 

this week starts the annual "see as many riot bands locally to lessen conflicts" run of shows. Princess Goes on Thursday at a tiny club is going to be fun. the songs are solid, but i have a feeling (aka- hoping) they will be one of those bands where the records dont do justice to the live show. i mean the guy is a broadway legend, so im sure the pipes will be on display.

 

Surprise! I'm going to come over for Riot on Saturday! Was able to sell some tickets and make it work, very pumped to see Pavement, NOFX, Spoon, The Hives, and Drug Church!

Also, is anyone planning on using the shuttle service?

 

So riot fest was removed from seat geeks website and the calendar. It was originally on there when they announced the move.

there’s a thread on Reddit about it and a lot of people think it’s moving back to Douglass park

 

I suspect it's just a mistake. Saw the same thing posted in the subreddit.

 

If it moves back to the city it will make this day a little less terrible as a Vikings fan lol. Not going to get my hopes up, though.

 

I'm sorry, you got GEQBUS starting for you now.

 

Lot of people in that thread with "confirmation" and "sources" saying it's moving again. I'll believe it when it's officially announced or a local news station gets it, but what a bungle it would be if it's true.
