Riot Fest 2023 Tour • Page 135

Hopefully they play next year. This show replaces Ruido fest performance since that fest got cancelled

 

Microwave are not listed on the Menzingers show in Chicago, but I'm assuming that's just cus of Riot Fest and they'll be officially added after right?

 

Almost certainly, yeah

 

smoking popes added to sunday caroline rose dropped

 

This seems fun

 

No announcement from her about why she dropped. Wonder what happened

 

Doubt this is the last of artists dropping out - this is the new inevitable normal

Never saw Smoking Popes so I'm pretty excited.

Alkaline Trio have dates all 3 days of Riot, so their mini-streak is over. TBS plays Northerly Island tomorrow, so they could be added next week

 

Sad summer is at northerly island not Tinley

 

Rumor is a new Green Day album might be dropping next year. Still would be cool if Riot got them eventually. Next year or 2025 seems reasonable

 

And with the headliners this year, I think we can put to rest any argument that they are too big to play. So it really does feel like when will they play instead of if they will ever play Riot Fest.

 

Look if Green Day is coming to Riot

30th anniversary play of Dookie next year - first time in North America

setlist.fm says album has been played 7 times in Europe

Sassafras Roots by Green Day Song Statistics | setlist.fm

 

It will be the 20th anniversary of American Idiot. I would be happy if they play any of them, stoked if they do both

 

Whatever year GD plays feels like the year Op Ivy will play. GD doing both albums would be awesome

 

Gaslight Anthem finally announced their openers for their tour, and catbite joins them the date right after riot in cleveland. could be a possible replacement for someone mid/lower on sunday lineup if needed in a pinch (though they are in VA on the 16th..). and ive yet to see catbite so im excited they are on the STL date because with how loaded that sunday top line is, may have to sacrifice seeing GLA at the festival and catch the tour instead as they seem to be the only one from that top line coming to me.

 

For anyone that wanted poppy to be added she’s out. Playing the Vic September 8th. Show was just announced

 

Catbite getting added to Riot as a lower-tier act would be fantastic! I've been hyping this band since I first saw them back in 2019 with WATU and Kill Lincoln. They've come a long way since and it's awesome to watch. Really great people, high-energy live show... And doing something different compared to a lot of other ska bands.

Can't recommend catching them live enough if the opportunity presents!

 

And with Pom Pom Squad. Big bummer :(

 

Just remembred that Josh Freese has played with 100 gecs live before, and he was the drummer on their new albim. The Foos doesnt have a show on 9/16, so it would be cool if he plays with them at Riot

 

Sludgeworth confirmed via Instagram today that they'll be closing out the Rebel Stage on Friday.

Or as they put it: "the port-a-potty stage by the ferris wheel next to the guy that shit his pants passed out under a tree next to the girl that still thinks My Chemical Romance is playing."

 

I’ve said it for years. 2024 California takeover.

Green Day playing Dookie & More on Friday.

Green Day playing American Idiot & More on Saturday.

Operation Ivy reunion & Final Chicago NOFX appearance on Sunday.

Jawbreaker and Rancid sub headlining Friday & Saturday.

 

Dont threaten me with a good time

 

Helmet announced a tour this fall that starts in the Midwest a couple days after Riot. Would they potentially be in play if more artists are added? Or would Joliet constitute as the tour’s “Chicago show?”

 

Im sure Joliet counts as their Chicago show

 

That would be the best

 

Do not make me pick between Green Day doing Dookie and Jawbreaker, but yes.
