Riot Fest 2021 (September 17-19, Chicago IL) Tour • Page 56

Looks like they are going the Lolla route this year.

 

Despite all my rage 15 months I still have to wait.

 

I feel like Pitchfork, Lolla, and Riot are all going to have good lineups because everyone's schedule is just kind of open. Will be a fun (but expensive) summer next year.

 

So... uhhh... wow... I thought it was for this year then had to look again and became overly excited.

 

well four days only if you keep your 2020 ticket or buy a ticket in the next 30 days

 

i might get mine this weekend. gonna be a loooooooooooooooooong wait but i'm fine with that.

 

It's like a 14 months wait, and I'm really excited for it. I will be counting every single day

 

Just imagine how massive/triumphant that PUP crowd is gonna be

 

oh man, would they main stage or close out a side stage?

 

Do think it'll be RTJ/Pixies co-headlining a night? Or is there gonna be one more bigger band announced? I'm assuming the former but would be cool to get the latter!

 

Didn't see the special perk there immediately

 

Well we know MCR is headlining Saturday night

 

Sad I can’t do the preview day because it’s the same day as MCR Detroit BUT I really like this for a first wave

 

MCR Detroit is Wednesday and the preview is Thursday!

 

This is a solid first wave! I’m in a car right now but will give thoughts when I’m home haha

 

Who do they think they are not announcing Andrew WK and Gwar already?

 

never mind I’m an idiot!

 

I wonder if RTJ was always playing this and pitchfork

 

Can you imagine Jesse and the Rippers for the preview night?

 

oh absolutely especially with the new album drop

 

Man, I think I'm going to Riot for the first time in a long time.

 

updated the thread title

 

The surprise Thursday band is going to be smashmouth right?

 

I'm not crazy on the first wave, but they still have a ton of time to bring in more interesting acts for me. I tend to like the more outsider kinda acts and this year has a lot of stuff in the more traditional emo/pop punk vein. The top few acts are super sick though and really this is only like a third of the lineup, plus Thursday party sounds sick.

 

This is honestly amazing. I'm not saying I'm happy this happened, but on a selfish level I am very grateful I won't have to miss MCR at Riot after all. And now I will see them twice.

I love the lineup so far. Especially the lower parts, as per usual. Pumpkins is a cool addition and RTJ will be great. I've got like 10-15 "must" sees already, I can't believe there are 2 more waves.

Feels so good to have something to be excited for. Bought my ticket already cus I need to be at the Preview Night of course.
