Riot Fest 2018 - September 14-16 - Douglas Park, Chicago Tour • Page 83

It could be saturday too

EDIT: Actually, on their website, it says they will play september 15

 

Huh, I read in a Consequence of Sound article the 14th.

 

To be fair, I don't know the distances between Toronto, Chicago and Michigan, my US geography is bad, but I think they will play saturday on Chicago and then Michigan on sunday, it makes more sense to me

 

Incubus is playing Kaa Boo Del Mar in California on Friday the 14th so I'm going to guess they're playing Riot Fest on Sunday.

EDIT: This is what we know so far...

Friday
Cypress Hill
K. Flay
Bullet for My Valentine
Liz Phair
Moose Blood
Speedy Ortiz

Saturday
Interpol
The Jesus Lizard
Andrew WK
GWAR
Face to Face

Sunday
Incubus
Blondie
Father John Misty
Clutch

Young the Giant is playing a festival in Colorado the same weekend too, so they're either playing Friday or Sunday.

 

Wait how do we know FJM is Sunday?

 

If you check his website, it says he's playing Sunday. Plus he's playing Milwaukee on Tuesday, which is the official first date of his tour.

 

His website actually says Friday (which I assumed was just put in as a placeholder since it's the first day of the fest). I agree Sunday makes sense given his tour dates though.

 

Okay, I swear to God it said Sunday last night.

 

Who knows, maybe it did. Band websites can be weird haha

 

Now that we have the full line-up, do we have any guesses for the album plays? I know Bad Religion, Cypress Hill, Lagwagon, and Suicidal Tendencies were all thrown around previously...

I'm really hoping Atmosphere does a Seven's Travels set. That shit would make me so happy.

 

Lagwagon is doing an album show at the Fest so that is an easy one to project doing one at Riot.

 

If Atmosphere does a Seven's Travels set, I will FOR SURE be at that day. One of my favorite rap albums of all time.

 

We don't have the full lineup!

Bad Religion doing Suffer and Lagwagon are probably locks

Alkaline Trio (Goddammit or Good Mourning) and Sum 41 seem likely as well

 

Elvis Costello doing This Year’s Model for the 40th anniversary would be way cool (and pretty unlikely).

 

I'd put money on that, to be honest.

 

Think they'll announce them tomorrow?

 

My gf really wants to see Incubus and we can only go on Sunday so this plays into my hand well.

 

For those of you who want to see people sing off key after Riot Fest on Friday.

 

Emo Band is pretty cool and fun

 

No doubt it'd be a fun time for people who enjoy that kind of thing, but I hate karaoke for the most part. It's just not my thing.

 

I love singing off key I kind of want to go

 

Bring back the pop punk pizza afterparty

 

We used to have live band pop punk karaoke at a venue by me and honestly it was great.

 

speaking of post-RF activities, Somewhere on social media someone asked RF if they were bringing back the Riot Feast and their response was "god i hope not" or something like that, not snarky sounding, but more like they legit never want to do it again... anyone know why that may be? just too complicated to do 2 things at once? i got a reservation the thursday night before RF last year and had an amazing time, food was good!

 

Probably just that, I never got to go but the reception seemed pretty positive.
