Riot Fest 2024 Tour • Page 45

Consider this a lock

 

Yuck

 

The routing is so funny

 

On the bright side, one less clash for you

 

They'd be right in the middle of the Riot poster, right? Probably with mid-afternoon set on Radical/Rise? Trying to gauge their placement...

And Louder Than Life isn't helping because they're right between Skillet and P.O.D. on that poster.

 

That, or if they play the FOB day, I could see them being a 2 PM Main Stage band.

 

All in on a Let's Cheers To This album play

 

that new emo festival in canada happening a couple weeks before riot has FOB as a headliner which strengthens the case theyll headline a day. they'll be active and in the area. id like to see a few of the undercard acts hop on rf too.

 

I’d love Billy Talent

 

Please bring Billy Talent back

 

SAME. plus aar (finally) and gch would make me happy.

 

If Fall Out Boy does headline, I am curious which day it would be. I’ve been assuming that Sum 41 would be closing out a stage, but that makes less sense to me if Fall Out Boy is headlining on Friday.

 

The cool, fun thing about Fall Out Boy as a headliner is the mix of bands that could make sense on the Riot stage along with them.

Fall Out Boy with All-American Rejects, Gym Class Heroes, Sleeping With Sirens, and Winona Fighter would be pretty sonically diverse while fully making sense.

EDIT: But also, let Patrick curate some of the artists for the weekend so the Stereo can play.

 

no idea if this makes amyl more or less likely. no chicago date, but also a month gap from the end of the tour til riot, which is a lot for an international band. im leaning less likely, but still quietly hoping, haha

 

You can put Sum 41 before Fall Out Boy on one of the main stages

 

yeah, that is what I was thinking. I could definitely see that happening.

 

Feels like it makes them less likely. But have they recorded anything recently? The last album dropped in 2021 so they'd be due I'd think...

Maybe they're recording? Or there's a new album dropping and they'll unload some headlining dates (and Riot Fest, hah) after the album announcement? Just trying to think of scenarios that might allow you to take a bit of copium! Haha. You've been wanting them on Riot for a while now!!!

You definitely could. But having them close out a stage feels better to me giving that it's their last run... I will also always roll my eyes and groan at bands being lumped together just because they were on the radio/MTV at the same time. Sum-41 and Fall Out Boy are so sonically and aesthetically different. I "get it" but it bugs me. Haha.

 

copium for me is that i have a buddy in lawrence KS that ive been saying id visit for years now, so at least i have found my excuse to make the drive, haha

 

The Beths do not have a Chicago date but the routing doesn't exactly make sense for them to come back for Riot Fest.

 

Hobo Johnson is out. July 17 at the Vic

 

Twenty One Pilots are out. United Center on 10/1 and 10/2.

 

Thank god.

 

Cake's doing a bunch of festivals and random gigs this summer... With a Texas run the week before Riot Fest. Clearly doing a bunch of fly-ins. Covering a lot of the US (broadly speaking). They hit a few surrounding states in early summer but no Illinois...

Feels feasible for this year finally?

 

We could have Cake Hole back to back on the lineup

 

Cake Slayer (I'd watch Cake)
