Riot Fest 2023 Tour • Page 127

Yes now that Do Division has passed they need to stop having WEAKNESSES and add the NIL

 

Foo Fighters won’t be that bad, they’re on like every lineup this year and their current demand, while still high, is not the same as MCR’s return demand was.

 

Foo shouldn’t be that bad, I don’t think. The thing that made MCR unbearable was that it was a reunion set so there was tons of demand/hype. Foo is actively touring this year and seem to have confirmed they will be for the foreseeable future

While FF is big, and while people are stoked for this new era, I could see a lot of fans having the “I’ll pass this time and catch them next tour” mindset

 

Foo Fighters will be nothing like MCR.

MCR was supposed to reunite in 2020 and then had two years of pent-up demand as a result of the pandemic. That was truly a worst case scenario.

 

It's just as much about "energy" as it is "draw." I think you'll have just as many people there just to see Foo Fighters as you had for My Chemical Romance.

But I think you'll have fewer people trying to camp out at that one stage all day to be as close as possible. And given that it's a Friday, I wouldn't be surprised if the festival feels pretty "regular" until early evening. I expect a certain segment of fans won't show up until later.

 

There was a 10 year build up to My Chemical Romance's return to Chicago. Foo Fighters has been touring consistently for years and years, and while obviously popular, let's be real, their fanbase is older and not going to be as ravenous or crowdsurfing/pushing/moshing that hard.

 

A must see for me! Its their only show outside Europe so far

 

The Cure was fucking unreal tonight in Detroit.

 

Enter Shikari is playing Saturday, per their website.

 

Surprised riot didn’t try and get the senses fail tour/full album play

 

If i can just stack up Friday and Saturday and skip Sunday again i'll be content lol. Things looking good on that so far.

 

tl;dr - Riot and Re:set are officially approved.

 

“Unanimous approval” from the board members for riot fest

 

Man, they really snuck in Reset. Wasn't even on the agenda this morning.

 

Hoping we get some more information for with the daily lineups, maybe full album plays? I know it's way too early for aftershows

 

It’s so weird being a stones throw away from Chicago but being in Eastern time not Central time. Every time they tease something at 10, I get my hopes up and check their Twitter an hour early. You’d think I’d learn my lesson but I never do

 

Are you in Michigan or Indiana? I'm driving up to Kalamazoo tomorrow work and the time change keeps messing with my head

 

Still no album play announcements.. interesting

 

I'm really stressed about conflicts on the first line of Sunday but aside from that, they did a good job spreading it all out for me.

 

Sunday is super stacked for me. Going to be conflicts galore.

 

I can see a Friday stage with Say Anything, Bayside, Silverstein and Hawthorne Heights.


Also, AFI opening for The Cure, please

More importantly, still no Gwar nor TBS

 

Foos with The Breeders and Kim Gordon on the same stage sounds like a jolly good time

 

Oragami Angel & Oso Oso are basically playing the US & Japan in the same day.. dunno how that will work

Kim Gordon is probably gonna be part of the Tegan.Sara and Ani Difranco stage
