Riot Fest 2018 - September 14-16 - Douglas Park, Chicago Tour • Page 202

The Elvis Costello facebook page just posted that he's playing on Saturday.

If it's a surprise BN set that would be like the ultimate storm for backlash. You'd have tons of people livid that their money went to supporting them, and just as many of the insane diehards livid that they didn't have time to plan a trip.

 

awesome find.. so main stage will probably close with Elvis then Beck

 

It's Brand New doing a set of Front Porch Step songs.

 

With a special guest appearance by the old Withconfidnce

 

Honestly I could see that BN was one of the original planned headliners before the shit storm happened

 

don't forget, Tre Cool did post this in late August

 

Oh absolutely. That was one of their headliners.

 

LOL

 

Green Day doing an all pre American Idiot set would make me feel alot better about this

 

You talk too much.

 

Ya' caught me... Sometimes I post things on the Internet when I get exicted.

 

Another update. Am I missing anything?

Sunday seems super top-heavy to me, but all of them check out. Friday's really lacking on upper-tier headliners.

Riot Fest should take notes from the crew at FEST next year. Full line up released by June and then the Schedule out in August. Festival doesn't happen to late October.

I understand 2 totally different sizes of festivals. But the same basic principles still apply to any festival.

 

So if i had to wager, main stage Sat will end with the voidz -> Interpol ->Beck, with the stage next door being the 'legends' stage with Gary numan -> JLL -> Elvis

edit-replaced Marr for numan

 

Johnny Marr has a show in Nashville on Saturday, I believe he's playing Sunday

 

Blink-182 have cancelled!

 

Get Rammstein to replace Blink-182.

 

Also seems like Weezer, Run The Jewels and Taking Back Sunday have been added!

 

wait, Weezer & Run the Jewels confirmed???

 

Lol I’m loving this. This is a wild fucking ride this year.

 

UHHHHHH ARE WEEZER AND RUN THE JEWELS REALLY PLAYING RIOT

THIS IS HONESTLY BETTER

 

I feel absolutely horrible for @Bad Frequencies, but on a personal level I'm pretty ok with Weezer and RTJ as replacements, especially because I saw blink twice for Lolla last year and have missed the last several times Weezer has been around.

 

Looks like it was Travis Barker holding up everything
