Riot Fest 2018 - September 14-16 - Douglas Park, Chicago Tour • Page 196

I can feel it in my bones. Today is the day...

For arthritis. It’s raining. Feeling it in my bones.

 

jerry lee lewis, alkaline, incubus, underoath, interpol, and of course the circus sideshow!

 

Bones....Them Bones.

Alice in Chains with hologram Layne Staley CONFIRMED

 

My most anticipated is probably Dillinger Four. They're one of my all-time favorite bands who never really tour, and I've never seen them in a setting like this so... Yeah. Beyond that?

Blink-182
Beck
Atmosphere
Cypress Hill
Bad Religion
Lagwagon
Alkaline Trio
The Wonder Years
K.Flay
Matt & Kim
Adolescents
Superchunk
Direct Hit!
Liz Phair
Cobra Skulls
The Fever 333
Mannequin Pussy
The Bombpops


There's also a few acts I'm excited about seeing the "hits" from: Incubus, Interpol, Sum-41, Bleachers

 

side note: per one of the gals from the street team: "we have no idea what's going on, haven't been told a damn thing, and don't have updated material listing different bands... it's a shit show... but apparently everything is still going as planned"

 

That not a good sign. I wonder if they even have full daily breakdowns and set times made up yet.

 

Is Spitalfield on Sunday confirmed anywhere?

 

Street team would probably get it at the same time it goes public.

 

yeah, back when I did the street team we had updated posters and cards with the daily lineups to hand out at shows and that was prob like a month before the fest. I did the street team for 3 years before I realized I would rather pay to go than stand outside of shows seeing people take my flier and then just throwing it on the ground

 

At least I have the decency to tell people no thanks.

 

this one drunk dude was mad i was 'in the middle of the sidewalk' took the flier and ripped it up into a ton of pieces and threw it up in the air while flipping me off... it was bizarre. like, cool dude, must make you feel tough being a rude asshole to someone thats 5'3'' and 120lbs.

 

What an asshole

 

I hate men like this. I bet he manspreads on the L, too.

 

reports on reddit, press are getting credentials and work is starting at Douglas Park

Good.

 

According to the Facebook it looks like the fellas from Allister are hanging out this week. I'd put the odds of them being added to the fest as half way decent.

 

They regularly play Japan. I wouldn't expect them at Riot Fest.

 

Got that, just hadn't seen em active in any capacity in a long time, and I know Scott's got another band that primarily plays Japan he seems to have been concentrating on. Also the pic is marked as being in Chicago. But yep- could be lots of stuff.

 

I mean, a couple of them still live in the suburbs. Japan is the only market that Allister seems to be taken seriously in now.

 

aaaaand there's an article.

Is Riot Fest Happening? Festival-Goes Are Freaking Out, But Signs Point To ‘Yes’

 

At least we know the city isn't the issue.

 

Yep, that's true. But I think they're also one of the bands from that era that is in "maybe play a show in the area where we were once popular every couple years" mode. This just seems like a pretty fitting time for something like that to happen.

 

Good ol' Block Party doing the least reporting possible.

 

they pulled my tweet at the end. nice.

still wondering if they will have a tater tot food truck.
