Riot Fest 2018 - September 14-16 - Douglas Park, Chicago Tour • Page 45

They're playing Lolla so I think that's why. But yea I think next weeks a pretty good bet for the lineup.

 

Ah. Well shit. Nevermind about the Wombats, then!

 

The Hold Steady is doing four dates in Toronto from 9/12-9/15. They could do Chicago on the 16th maybe?

Stay Positive also turns 10 this year.

 

I can definitely see that happening.

 

I’m probably overthinking this, but...



Did Riot Fest maybe organize another TITR reunion?

 

I very much hope so.

 

I wonder if there'll be any crossover with this? Like, not much, but Bullet and GWAR are both rumored so, who knows?

 

Limp bizkit is all we need

 

You guys could shit all over Limp all ya want, but their live show is awesome and would be huge for Riot Fest.

I feel like The Fever 333 is a lock.

 

i'll continue to shit over limp bizkit and say they're the exact opposite of what riot fest needs.

however, i could definitely get down with TITR. i missed all of their reunion shows that they did a few years ago so them coming back would be nice. that announcement reads like they're getting back together to do some type of new music as opposed to touring, but i'll take whatever i can get.

 

I'd absolutely watch Limp Bizkit.

 

There's no way they pivot so hard as to have Limp Bizkit, Papa Roach, or Skillet play. I can maybe see Avenged Sevenfold on there as a headliner, but their tour hits Chicago in August anyway so they're out...

Bullet For My Valentine, Beartooth, OFM&M, the Fever333,and Knocked Loose are all feasible. And GWAR will undoubtedly be playing.

I could see Insane Clown Posse possibly being booked in the GWAR/Andrew W.K. slot on the side stage.

 

Knocked Loose and Beartooth are both doing only a handful of warped dates each, and they are both doing IL, so I think they're out. (I kind of think they were booked for Open Air before it got cancelled so they hopped on a few Warped Shows so they'd have something in the area.)

Added Bullet to my Highly Likely list (I forgot about them, but definitely seems like they're playing)..

The Fever 333 seems very likely.

I could see Papa Roach or Limp Bizkit playing, but I could just as easily not, and I don't think we'd have both, cus I agree Riot Fest isn't going to pivot towards a lot of the hard rock fest bands, especially when you consider that it's clearly not going great for Open Air in this area.

 

Side note: kind of crazy to me that Beartooth is now billed higher than Of Mice & Men.

 

It's not that surprising considering Of Mice and Men has fallen off big time since Austin left.

 

Yea I know still weird to see though, and I think even if Austin was still in the band, Beartooth would still be billed equal to them.

 

This is legit hell on earth

 

So Northcoast lineup and Lolla schedule drops this week for sure?

 

Hasn’t Riot Fest’s Facebook posted about Limp Bizkit multiple times the past few months?

 

Lolla schedule drops today on the app

 

Anyone remember that RedEye contest from 2016 where you would win a ton of stuff if you guessed the first three or four lines of the lineup correctly? I don't know if anyone got the grand prize but I remember winning 2, 3 days out of that. I miss it, it was fun.

 

Northcoast had said the line-up is coming in "early May," so I would imagine it's going to hit this week -- but that's not confirmed. They're still rolling out "artist hints" via Twitter at a fucking snail's pace, though, so who knows...

The Lolla schedule will be dropping today (on their app) according to Twitter. Guessing it's another one of those "schedule goes up on the app on Tuesday and then on the web site on Wednesday" to try and get folks to download the app.

The guy from Staind and Wes Borland fighting and nu-metal pop song covers.

 

I would absolutely watch Limp Bizkit.

 

Let's keep on rollin baby
