Riot Fest 2022 (September 16-18, Chicago IL) Festival • Page 171

Really cool shows, but with Sunday being the only night I might be open to leaving the festival early... I think I'll pass.

Some really sweet line-ups, though! If JEW/CB or Alkaline Trio were on Sunday that one would 100% be on my list.

 

i've never done an aftershow before but the maine is tempting

 

Is anything going on presale today besides the Metro shows?

 

aftershow 7 years ago (also at Bottom Lounge) is the best show I've ever been to to this day and they haven't been back since. so

 

Gonna try for Jimmy and Alk3

 

Manifesting a surprise Thursday set at the fest.

 

Jimmy Eat World vs AOF vs Thursday vs Jawbox. That's a though one :(

 

ska dream baybayyyy

 

Can't speak for Jawbox really but JEW are here at least once a year, Thursday are here playing Full Collapse seemingly every 6 months, and AOF haven't been here in 7 years. Easy call imo

 

Yeah, Probably I will go AOF and SDRE as they are top on my Riot Fest list this year along with MCR

 

AOF, JEW, TIA, and Thursday all the same night?!?

 

Ska dream for sure, probably the Maine too. The Academy Is is tempting but I don't want to overpack things, I wish I knew what their setlists would look like

 

I have seen AK3 three times in less than a year, but their Metro shows are kind of iconic, so maaaybe I will try to go to that one

 

With Saturday being so light for me, I'm gonna try for JEW and if I strike out, I'll do TAI at Concord. Only doing one this year.

 

According to the Chop Shop site, TGUK is playing Four Minute Mile and Woodson for their after show. I know they're doing the album at the fest as well, but I assume not the EP.

 

Gonna try for midtown/TAI and the Maine. Have never done two after shows in one weekend

 

The Trio Thursday, Bam Bam Baklava on Friday

 

Is the Pop Punk Pizza Party happening this year?

 

"Thursday WITH Anthony Green"... poor choice of wording or is he performing the album with them? None of the other shows say "with"

 

I haven't heard anything. Chop Shop has another show that Saturday so if it is it'll be somewhere else. Maybe Burlington?

"The Get Up Kids with Sparta" is the billing for that show. Just means he's opening, but it is inconsistent on the poster with all of the shows.

 

BLEEDER is the password for AK3 according to their Instagram

 

Is Green even on the festival?

 

I just realized something. Brooks from War On Women is playing in Jawbox now. Both bands are playing aftershows on Saturday night. Wonder how he’s gonna pull that off? Double-duty?

 

Wasn't Anthony rumored to be involved in LS Dunes?

 

He's in LS Dunes (or at least there was semi-confirmed speculation that LS Dunes is his new project).
