Some of these have been done already, and some aren’t full possibilities, but I’m throwing them out there anyway

*A man can dream, can’t he?

 

Also, dare I say it, Limp Bizkit’s Significant Other turns 20 next year...

 

idk if i can handle a year of speculation, but here i am.

 

HEADLINER PREDICTION: Taking Back Sunday performing "New Again" for it's 10 year anniversary (I'm joking I'm joking)

Saves the Day doing Through Being Cool at Riot Fest would be a blast. I could see that one happening cus it's been a while since they've played, but I'd be cool with them playing in any way.

Blink doing Enema is something I don't want to get that excited for yet but it'd sure be cool.

A Day to Remember doing "Homesick" is actually something I could really see happening, although I could also see them doing their own tour on it.

I really doubt it would happen, but All Time Low "Nothing Personal" turns 10.

Say Anything's self-titled turns 10. I know they are not really a band now, but Max didn't shoot down ever doing shows, so I could see him coming out of his semi-retirement for something like that. But I'm not sure that would be the album Riot Fest went after from SA.

I can never see it happening but Silverstein doing "A Shipwreck In the Sand" would make me absolutely lose it, but again, I don't see that being the Silverstein album RF goes after.

Jimmy Eat World: Futures (15 Years)
Midtown: Forget What You Know (15 years)
Every Avenue: Picture Perfect (10 years)
Two Tongues: Self-Titled (10 years)
Manchester Orchestra: Mean Everything To Nothing (10 years)
Simple Plan: Still Not Getting Any (15 years)
I See Stars: 3-D (10 years) [I'd be lowkey very excited]
Paramore: Brand New Eyes (10 years)


Bands I would love to play, regardless of anniversaries:
The Maine, Ludo, Anarbor, Snail Mail, Charly Bliss, Punchline, Ratboys, Every Avenue, Against Me!, Justin Courtney Pierre, Laura Jane Grace & the Devouring Mothers, Manchester Orchestra, Fugazi, My Chemical Romance, Good Charlotte, Alabama Shakes, Alvvays, Bad Bad Hats, badbadnotgood, Bring Me the Horizon, D.R.U.G.S., Propaghandi, Steel Train, the Format

I'm going to try to remember to keep updating this as I think of more things.

 

Real talk, God I hope we get a Futures 15 Year tour.

 

Would love to see some bands along the lines of The Audition that aren’t completely done but don’t do more than a few shows a year (Valencia, Cartel, The Starting Line, etc)

 

Roll on first of September 2019 for the lineup announcement

 

I don’t think ADTR will do a Homesick tour but I think they will do it at their Self Help Fests next year.

 

As much as I would love to see AFI, I'm not sure if they would even be willing to do that.. but would be happy to see them do it. I recall someone asking them about an anniversary tour or such and I believe Davey said they wouldn't actually want to do one.. referring to the past and whatnot. But here's to hoping that AFI actually does play Riot Fest next year! If anything, they'd play a few songs from Black Sails, like how they've been throwing in songs from each album to make up a different setlist each night.

 

If we're doing wish lists I'd like to see Hot Rod Circuit and Midtown play for the pure nostalgia factor, a Rufio reunion would also be rad. The Get Up Kids doing Something To Write Home About I think has to be a strong possibility, Rancid are bound to be due an appearance, Smashing Pumpkins as one of the headliners would be mint. Throw in some names like Press Club, Cayetana, Bigwig, Save Ferris, a Latterman reunion, Pulley, Screaming Females, Every Time I Die, Worriers, Audio Karate, Turnspit, Kali Masi or Spanish Love Songs and I'd be a happy camper.

 

I'm there regardless!

 

I know Saves The Day did a full tour on TBC for the 15th anniversary so I doubt they would tour it again but doing it again at Riot is possible.

YES YES YES to Futures, Mean Everything to Nothing, Enema and Forget What You Know.

 

Honestly don't think it's out of the realm of possibility for Saves the Day to do a 15 year set at Riot Fest of TBC, in the way they did a 10 year performance of Stay What You Are at that one fest in Los Angeles.

 

dismemberment plan- emergency and I (1999)
honestly if I get this album alone I will be incredibly happy

For more random speculation (more hopes than expectations, but still): death grips, danny brown, (insert impossible reunion like smiths, mcr, or dead kennedys here), fidlar, descendants, modest mouse, jeff rosenstock, vince staples, tyler the creator, brockhampton, jeff magnum/neutral milk hotel, my bloody valentine, and american football.

 

I included it just because it technically is an anniversary and would be dope to see but...do y’all think Kanye would ever play Riot, or is he a Lollapalooza guy only?

 

I don't think he will because he's far too big. It'd make me happy, but he's one of the biggest rappers all-time. I actually think there is a lot of overlap in terms of market (despite what some old punks might think) just seems unlikely to me, although I could maybe see kids see ghosts playing.

 

I’m moving back to a Chicago next July and I finally get to go to one of these! Moved away I think a year before it started.

 

At the same time they did do that whole tour for it at the ten year, not sure if they’d do it again so relatively quickly.

 

A possibility:
The Cure to play “20 festivals” next summer

 

This would definitely be cool but I could also see it being Lolla

 

Yea I think Lolla because Riot Fest always tries to have headliners pretty unique from other festivals, so they’re not usually on board with the bands who are doing the festival circuit as their headliners.
