Riot Fest 2018 - September 14-16 - Douglas Park, Chicago Tour • Page 118

Yeah I agree. They aren't headliner size (unless it was a USA exclusive date or something like that). They'd fit into the same time slot as A Day to Remember did last year. I just looked on Spotify and they have more monthly listeners than ADTR which is news to me.

 

The third headliner is The Offspring for a 20th anniversary Americana performance, but the announcement is delayed until after their Chicago show on 9/6.

 

That’d actually be pretty rad

But the second wave being announced until like 10 days before?

 

I’m only joking haha. But I would be done for it too!

 

I don’t even know who the fuck bring me the horizon is but I’ll be very let down if that’s the third headliner and shocked some one could headline I’ve never heard of

 

BMTH is just about to start the cycle for their new album. New single will be dropping in the next few days, and they'll be making an appearance at a UK festival before the end of this month. Full tour is scheduled to start at the back end of the year, but to my knowledge Riot Fest doesn't form part of this. Expect festival dates from them in 2019.

 

Only 7 album plays announced, correct?

Still convinced it's Green Day headlining all 3 nights. Dookie, Insomniac, Nimrod. Call me crazy.

 

If this happens, your drinks at the festival are on me.

 

all inclusive drinks may be more money than whatever riot fest would pay green day to headline three nights

 

There’s no way they could afford 3 nights of Green Day is there?

 

Honestly true.

 

You still announce that well before a month out. People would travel for that. They can’t now.

 

Calm down. I don't make the rules & we're all speculating here, Captain Serious.

 

I'm still holding you to this...

 

I’m still going with Green Day is kicking off a Dookie tour with Chicago being the first stop. They’re waiting for Geeen Day to give the go with the announcement so Riot Fest doesn’t take away from other markets where this tour would go next year. Hence why this is taking so long.

 

Hoping it will be today, out of the blue: "Here is the 2nd wave, daily schedule and aftershows"

 

Maybe there's some hold up with the app, and they will release the app the same time with the full lineup?

I've also heard that there is concern with health issues from Travis and Elvis, and they are sorting them out and aren't sure if they'll play, and if not, they have to shuffle lots of days around. 2 possibilities

 

Per my Facebook memories, they announced aftershows today in 2016. I'll never forget the day that the Dillinger Escape Plan leveled Cobra Lounge. RIP my fleeting memories.

 

TODAYS THE DAY!!!!

 

Any reason you think this, or are we all just really hoping?

 

I don't think Blink would have added a tour surrounding Riot Fest if there was chance of cancelling

Elvis I expect to cancel

Also I'm so sick of this not happening every day lol

 

I just really wanna know the single day lineups at this point. I’m okay if no one else major gets added, I already made the decision to go based off the first wave.

 

i get why others need daily line ups, but to me, they are just a tease to the full schedule which is what i really look forward to lol

 

Yeah the full schedule would be ideal haha. I just don’t get what the hold up would be for the daily lineups of what was already announced.
