Riot Fest 2017 Festival • Page 41

In general, any full album tour/performance, tends to happen between album cycles... Or after a bigger headlining tour has already happened for a record.

EDIT: Paramore are doing an arena/theater tour to promote the new record. I wouldn't put money on Riot! being an album play. But you might get a few extra cuts thrown into the set list because of it. Also? Maybe they're hyping it for a 10 year anniversary edition, vinyl press, etc.

 

Bayside announced a 10-year tour for the Walking Wounded and has the day they are playing Riot Fest. Maybe this means the day by day will be coming soon? Or maybe Bayside just didn't care.

 

I think we'll get the daily lineup early next month, but would love to be wrong

 

Friday
Nine Inch Nails
Four Year Strong
Seaway
Like Pacific
Grayscale

Saturday
Queens of the Stone Age
Bayside
Streetlight Manifesto

Sunday
Jawbreaker
Andrew WK

 

I would guess mid-July for the daily line-up and the last two albums, with the food trucks and what-not to follow shortly thereafter. After shows at the start of August... And the schedule during the last week of August/first week of September.

 

Streetlight Saturday as well

 

And FYS, Seaway, Like Pacific & Grayscale on Friday

 

Updated.

 

Has it been noted anywhere if Four Year Strong is doing RODT at Riot? That's a big indicator of whether or not I'll be seeing them. (note: I'd rather they didn't)

 

Yup, they are. It's one of the 10 albums that'll be performed in full at the festival.

 

Did they announce it as one of the last 2? I haven't seen anything yet

 

Oh yeah, I forgot that's one that's been heavily speculated for a while.

 

They might play it, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's one of the last two (see also: Senses Fail and Bayside in 2015)...

 

I don't think it's going to be marketed as one of the 10 but they are definitely gonna play it

 

I know there's like a .001% chance, but I'm currently dreaming about the possibility of Haley Williams coming out to sing The Church Channel and/or Plea with Say Anything at Riot Fest. Especially since it's IDOTG 10 year.

 

Along those same lines, I could see her doing Vicious Love with NFG

 

If they're playing the same day which I'm assuming they will, that's definitely a given

 

I'm honestly down for Hayley Williams to just appear all over the festival. But yea the New Found Glory one seems more realistic, but I'd personally much rather the Say Anything one, especially because I love Plea so much.

 

I always get bummed out when two bands are playing a festival on the same date, the timing seems to work out... And the guest spot doesn't happen, hah! It's happened to me a few times now...

The worst was when H2O closed their set at Montebello Rockfest a few years back with "What Happened" and Matt Skiba was literally standing on the side of the stage, and flatout declined to sing his part in the middle of the song. Felt pretty spontaneous, in his defense (that is, it wasn't planned and he probably just forgot the words haha). But I was still sad about it.

But, FWIW, I think there's a possibility of Haley doing something like that. Not sure about the Say Anything thing, but I'd say NFG is definitely feasible if they have that song in the set list.

 

Looks like the Casualties dropped off the line-up. Riot Fest stated that it was for "scheduling conflicts." But there's an article about it here, discussing the assault allegations and a petition to have them pulled from the bill, a statement from Riot Fest, etc.

I'm glad they're dropped.

 

Yeah good move on their part

 

I mean, it's not like no one knew about this and The Casualties.

 

Casualties are pieces of shit, assault stories have been going around about them for years.

 

Exactly. 2013 isn't even the first time I've heard about this. Always been shitty people.

 

Obviously. But it seemed relevant, so I thought I'd share. I knew about the allegations (and was bummed they were on the line-up), but I didn't know about the petition to get them removed from the fest until today.
