Riot Fest 2022 (September 16-18, Chicago IL) Festival • Page 227

Everyone start praying to any gods you can think of and rubbing any lucky items you have that we can get through tomorrow night without any weather stoppage/cancellation.

 

Pink line was insane, got lucky and was able to slide onto the first train out of Kedzie. Waiting for my blue line transfer to the Academy Is

 

Menzingers was the best set tonight and I will fight anybody who thinks otherwise

 

At the Alexisonfire aftershow, let's fucking rage

 

can you snag a picture of merch please?

 

Made it about 5 minutes ago

 

Alexisonfire were incredible, first time seeing them. They did finish about 10 minutes early and didn't play Happiness By The Kilowatt which was strange.

Yellowcard sounded incredibe. Amazing atmosphere.

TSSF was a stinker for me. Almost fell asleep mid set. Sound was bad, the singer had zero energy and it just felt like they really didn't want to be there.

 

Thank you!!!!

 

Gotta give it up to Gogol Bordello; while they were a disappointing name to replace Bauhaus as a sub-headliner, they definitely stepped up to the plate. The Ukrainian dancers and surfing the crowd on the drum were awesome. BTW, does anybody know if the 2 girls with them were notable, or just new members? Cause I've never seen them with them before, the rest of the band was familiar

 

Madball singer yelling “It doesn’t get more ignorant than that” after a breakdown was the highlight of my day. Absolutely lost it at that.

 

Selling my pass for tomorrow for 80 dollars. Any takers?

 

In exactly the same spot for AOF as 7 years ago and I could cry

 

Wow, that was the most bands I’ve ever seen in a day, think I saw 15 sets. Surfbort, no trigger, madball bridge city sinners and cumgirl8 made the side stage so much fun. Yellow card and misfits were both incredible closers. Menzingers, bad religion joy formidable and Gogol all had me dancing.

 

The Metro is PACKED. Can't believe they sold it out and then released more tickets. Everyone is packed pike sardines.

 

We had a much better day today, people were more accommodating and it felt like a different fest to yesterday

 

Skipped the actual fest but made it to AOF in one piece. Hoping to leave the same.

 

Took almost 2 hours from leaving Yellowcard but walked into Concord to catch the last 3 Midtown songs. Very excited to see what TAI pull out for tonight.

 

these people next to me kept complaining Jimmy eat world wasn’t playing hits and then left shortly after they played the middle? confused because they write only hits.

 

That was my first time seeing Alexis and it fucking rocked. And they played Rough Hands so I can die happy.

 

SNAKES ON A PLANE

 

That’s the time I hate the metro the most.

 

AOF. THE ONLY FUCKING BAND EVER.

The aftershow was incredible.

 

Nine Inch Nails were fucking amazing at Primavera Sound LA tonight. Y’all are in for a treat tomorrow. Don’t miss them

 

Was a little difficult finding a ride to Emo Nite and back to the hotel. Was super easy last night after Anberlins after show but ugh took forever tonight. Still had a blast tho and glad we didn't go to the fest Friday night after hearing about how chaotic it was.
