Riot Fest 2022 (September 16-18, Chicago IL) Festival • Page 218

2 things- my Airbnb host is also having a charity booth over by the wedding chapel and asked me to help her set it up so I’m actually about to go into Douglass in a few minutes. Feels good to be apart of the set up in even the tiniest way

2nd - am I crazy or on the map on the app, did they switch riot and roots again and now riot stage is back next to the large deluxe area? So maybe the original map was an error or they heard the complaints of the deluxe area not being by the main stage?

 

Yeah, that definitely changed.

 

Setlist talk.

The Alexisonfire setlist from the past 2 shows this week has been great, only complaint is I need Pulmonary Archery and 44 Caliber Love Letter to be on the fest's setlist

Also, MCR played a rare B-Side last night called "Desert Song". They actually closed their set with that song. It's so awesome that they play these randomly in 2022

 

I can't believe it's time to post my daily lineup... The day it's actually happening. Getting there early for LS Dunes, no real conflicts besides missing the first 5 minutes of LBC and having to rush from Hot Mulligan to Anberlin and probably missing their last 2 songs of the set).

LS Dunes Rise 13:00-13:30
Lucky Boys Confusion Roots 13:25-14:25
Hot Mulligan Radical 14:30-15:15
Anberlin Rise 15:15-16:00
Sparta Riot 16:10-17:10 (+Dinner)
The Wonder Years Radical 17:45-18:45
Alkaline Trio Roots 19:25-20:25
My Chemical Romance Riot 20:30-22:00

 

After having a few drinks last night and meetings this morning at 730 (I don’t drink much these days), I can confirm that Pedialtye remains the GOAT of hangover recovery tools. I immediately went back to the Walgreens and purchased a packet of them for the weekend.

The PAC donation stuff isn't really surprising, nor is the way that the fines/violations are sort of treated as a cost of doing business, but none of it is good. The paltry amount of money they've raised/donated for neighborhood organizations really sucks too. Having a real cognitive dissonance year with how much I love this weekend and at the same time how much I know the festival can do to be a better steward of the neighborhood.

Is the line always this long? Don’t ever remember seeing it this long at doors??

 

Yeah I was gonna say, sheesh thing line is long as shit

 

Shit, was assuming we’d be able to breeze right in. On the Pink Line now.

 

I won’t be there until later today because of work, so hopefully the lines are better then.

 

Actually the line is hauling ass now, should be good going forward

 

Have a great time everyone!

 

I have an extra 3 day pass for $190, if anyone knows someone looking for one

 

In on time for Pale Waves with a few minutes to spare!

 

How many people ran to the rail for MCR?

 

Too many.

 

The corn dogs are out in full force, this is gonna be hilarious

 

Lots of things to unpack from that video…
