Riot Fest 2018 - September 14-16 - Douglas Park, Chicago Tour • Page 232

So uh... Random Rancid lyric in a Matt Skiba tweet about Riot Fest today.

Either they were on the line-up and cancelled (and Skiba didn’t know) or there’s more to come. It’s from a random track on “Indestructible” (“Red Hot Moon”).

 

I don't think this means anything haha

 

It’s just so fucking random haha.

 

1 min to schedules!!!
(are we still playing this game?)

 

We absolutely are!

59 mins!

 

anyone trying to hit up that sum 41 aftershow? my friend has a ticket and can't go now... sellin below face value/crappy fees

 

The app just released the update for this year

 

I would take a surprise 15 year anniversary Indestructible set.

 

It feels weird not refreshing the Riot Fest page every minute like last week

 

I'm a little anxious for the schedule to see the conflicts, because I'm expecting some on Sunday

 

I want the schedule but also I don't want to be crushed due to all the conflict I know is happening Friday and Sunday

 

Just wait 11 more mins tho

 

I'm not going to give up on the schedule until like 4 but it doesn't seem like it's happening today

 

I doubt it's today.. Tuesday or Wednesday tho has to be

 

My biggest fear (because I just have a gut feeling it's going to happen) is a Liz Phair and the Front Bottoms conflict.

 

Always go with the band that probably won't play in your home town in the next 6 months

 

Almost always agree with this except the Front Bottoms are a top 3 band on the lineup and could easily end up being my favorite set of the weekend. I only really started listening to Liz Phair (except some casual listens in the past) leading up to Riot Fest. I'd likely try to split this one.

 

Liz Phair is my top priority because I have zero idea when she'll be back. The Front Bottoms comes to every state 2-3 times a year.

 

I can't figure out Friday. Who will close the side stages? Taking Back Sunday? Young the Giant seems likely as well, but I could also see them playing between Weezer and whoever plays before them.

Bleachers -> Young the Giant -> Weezer would make sense too and be my ideal situation here. I'd love to see Bleachers get a 6 pm main stage slot, and I think those three bands would compliment each other well. I could also see Bleachers and Young the Giant closing out a side stage. Which then I guess Dropkick Murphy's would play on the stage before Weezer and TBS between those two?

Please don't mind my baseless speculation.

 

This is very fair idk I'm just gonna pray it doesn't come to this or at least that they only overlap partially so I can still see the majority of both.

 

That’s what I had, yeah.

 

if i were to bet id say main stages is as you said: direct hit -> swmrs or front bottoms -> bleachers or sum 41 -> YtG -> weezer.
One stage will be digable/cypress/atmosphere.
i think One will be closed out by Flogging -> Dropkick
and the 4th big stage closed out by either TBS, bleachers, or maybe even matt & kim. so many possibilities! i cant take it! Will just depend which line up is ping-ponging with the main stage, my guess is the Dropkick stage

 

10 minutes

lol

 

I heard from reliable sources that there’s not gonna be a schedule, and everyone is gonna have to figure out who is playing what stage. Every band doesn’t have a set time and they’re gonna start playing whenever they feel like it
