1 by 1? Really?

 

Menzingers!!

 

JAWBREAKER

 

Crazy lineup. Can't believe they got Jawbreaker.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

Welp, guess this is finally the year I fly out, I'm still in shock that they got Jawbreaker

 

Obviously Jawbreaker is huge, but this looks like a lot of the same to me. Will most likely not end up going this year, although I was already leaning that way. Was gonna take a Bright Eyes or MCR reunion to pull me in instantly.

 

It's fucking stacked holy fuck

 

Paramore, A Day To Remember, Taking Back Sunday, New Found Glory, The Lawrence Arms, Bayside, Mayday Parade, Real Friends, State Champs, Four Year Strong, The Story So Far, and Knuckle Puck. Definitely happy with the first wave!

 

So so so SO fucking good.

 

A little underwhelmed, but I'm probably going to buy a Sunday ticket to see Jawbreaker

 

I would watch...

Nine Inch Nails
Queens of the Stone Age
Jawbreaker
New Order
Paramore
Prophets of Rage
A Day to Remember
Taking Back Sunday
New Found Glory
Bad Brains
Pennywise
Bayside
Say Anything
Mayday Parade
Streetlight Manifesto
Buzzcocks
GBH
Real Friends
Knuckle Puck
Chon
Slaves

 

Very excited to see Paramore, Jawbreaker, The Smith Street Band, and Hot Water Music for the first time, and I'll never complain about more chances to see The Hotelier and the Menzingers.

 

Another year without an ADTR headlining show in Chicago.

 

what an insanely dude heavy lineup

so where's that pop punk breaking up lineup in here???

 

I wish I could be more excited, but I have already seen every lower level artist

 

Definitely feel better about skipping State Champ's headliner last week.

 

Yeah, there's a lot of bands I've seen/bands I wouldn't want to see in a festival setting

 

Maybe I'm in the minority but it's a pretty underwhelming lineup. It feels more like a "Denver" lineup than a Chicago lineup in my opinion. Other than Jawbreaker, it feels like it's a re-hashed lineup. I don't know what I was expecting but I'm still going to try and go out to it.

 

I would agree with you but there are only so many reunions Riot Fest can book year after year.

 

Tons of pop punk bands on this. I wonder how Riot Fest will affect Warped Tour going forward.

 

Lack of diversity aside, this lineup is maybe my favorite ever, even if it's all attributed to the undercard. Smith Street Band, Hotelier, Menzingers, Beach Slang, etc. are already justification enough for me to flight out to party on my birthday weekend. Everything else is just icing on the cake, and there is a ton of icing.

 

Warped is dying and this is a sign of it.

 

This is most def a Chicago lineup and not a Denver lineup. A Denver or Toronto line up would never get nin and qotsa

 

If it wasn't for NIN headlining on Friday I wouldn't be going to a single day. This undercard is the most generic I've seen out of Riot Fest in a long time.
