If not The Cure, is Bauhaus the next logical possibility? How credible was that rumor from last year I wonder?
Interesting interview with Robert Smith from Friday that seemed to slip under the RF rumor mill radar: The Cure to put on festival in U.S. this...
The ideal for me would be The Raconteurs closing out the second stage opposite Blink-182, since I've already seen Blink. But I may be in the...
My standards are pretty low. This is the first out of state festival I'm going to be able to attend since the baby two years ago and the first...
Also The Selecter seem likely based on tour dates LIVE DATES | The Selecter
Some random dude on reddit claims the Raconteurs are 100% playing and when asked if they are headlining, he said If they really are playing...
i may be off on my timing a bit but, there was Blink-182 Toronto date the week of Riot Fest that was known before the lineup dropped. Not sure if...
I could totally see this happening. It kind of depends how you read last year's relatively scaled down lineup, was that a fluke because of their...
Very good point
Reel Big Fish and Aquabats just announced a summer tour with no Chicago stop. [MEDIA] Aquabats just played last year though RBF has a ton more...
The list get smaller and smaller with each reunion. Bikini Kill are doing reunion shows this year, but it's not a Riot Fest get, though I think...
Hoping for Green Day or Foo Fighters, hoping it's not The Killers Probably somebody completely left field though
Some dude on Reddit. Yeah I don't think it's likely either
Yep [IMG] Other possibly crossovers, FIDLAR, Black Pistol Fire, and of course The Raconteurs Some are speculating Guns n Roses but I doubt that

I just realized last night that this year is the 40th anniversary of the B-52s debut album. They pay half the songs in their normal set anyway...
I dreamt last night that The Halobenders were playing.
Someone on reddit raised the good point that Mamby on the Beach (Aug 24-25) has yet to announce it's lineup, so that muddies the waters a bit for...
[IMG] My main takeaway from this is that Dinosaur Jr might be playing RF Also, people on Reddit are speculating Black Moth Super Rainbow since...
I really want the Melvins to play this year.
Shouldn't, I'm not sure if we know for certain what Riot Fest's clause is but the usual is 90/90 days/miles, and Columbus is much farther away...
What do you guys think of Foo Fighters as a possible headliner? Too big? They are playing two festivals in the midwest the weekend after Riot so...
Deafheaven is out, they are in Hungary day after Riot Fest. Also Rev has a show in Lombard on 08/18 which probably rules him out
Dookie set would be the holy grail
Every year I'm like THIS IS THE YEAR. Maybe I've gotten cynical in my old age though, I would be really surprised if it happened this year, seeing...
