Riot Fest 2023 Tour • Page 20

it's over. no more riot

 

Riis Park would be an interesting pick. It's off the Metra line that I use though so not opposed

 

The other festival Heatwave that moved in last year is on sale but does not specify that it will be in Douglass Park either

 

Wasn't familiar enough to know where this was LOL, but looked it up and besides not the best rail access (plenty of bus routes though).. I like the location

 

Yeah, I've been thinking about transit access. I wonder if they'd run constant shuttles to and from the Logan Square Blue Line stop.

 

i would feel a lot better morally going to this if it were somewhere else

 

Is it wrong to feel like the other two larger festivals that moved in there the last couple of years kinda fucked it up for Riot? I know there was friction before but it really seemed to ramp up after that and add another argument against Riot that isn't necessarily anything Riot can fix without moving (nor are they responsible for it).

That is, the fact that it went from one major festival to three eating up the park's time isn't anything Riot can help.

EDIT: Not saying they shouldn't try to fix it. But I feel like, without those other festivals, this conversation isn't even happening.

 

riot didn't help themselves with that debacle of a community meeting earlier this year either

 

Definitely doable..

Nola public transit does it pretty smoothly for bigger festivals than Riot.

 

I would feel a lot better morally and logistically.

 

Riot Fest goes to Milwaukee

 

LOL Don't even put it out there to the world

 

riot goes to aurora illinois, books mike myers and dana carvey for a wayne's world reunion

 

featuring Crucial Taunt, The Jolly Green Giants, and the Shitty Beatles

 

Unpopular opinion but I would love this

 

the shitty beatles? how are they?

 

If Riot ever decides to try Riot Fest East again, I have a small backyard they can use.

 

I’m open to them trying that “Riot Fest West” thing they tried years ago but never went through with

 

THEY. SUCK.


riot could come hang with me down in St. Louis. we lost Loufest, and Music @ the intersection is just getting off the ground but doesnt overlap with riot-esque bands at all... st louis isnt a 'destination' city but has great music roots, and surprisingly high number of things to do, especially in just the last 5 years, so many areas making big improvements.. except for public transit, thats still lacking.

 

Friday and Saturday are STACKED, Sunday is for relaxin

 

Headliners for me are eh, but otherwise it’s a solid lineup. I hope Cypress Hill and Flaming Lips both do respective anniversary tours for those albums (it’s funny, both of them have already played them at Riot. I guess they’d both technically be out)

 

add digable planets to the list of 'already played that one at riot" lol

 

Oh you’re right! Didn’t catch that

 

I'm alone in my office and audibly said "WHOA" when I saw that Copeland is playing BTM. REALLY REALLY hope that means they'll do a tour for it.

 

tenacious d for riot, make it happen
