The poet, the clown, and the puppet running a panel interview in character while the rest of the bar just keeps running business as usual.
Honestly I wonder if the cancellations are a blessing to John at this point. That’s one more artist he can’t afford who’s voluntarily exiting...

You guys, 70% of the audience hasn’t even heard of the festival yet. This is all according to the plan. They’re just clowning around on us.
Iirc they were supposed to play Brainless God at Fest a year or two ago and had to drop bc Nick’s kid is immunocompromised. now that they’re...
What the hell does it mean that each day has a “special guest” who isn’t on the actual lineup? Like those people will just come out for features...
It feels like they announced him 5 or 6 different times. If it were any other festival I would have thought he was supposed to be a headliner
The cool teens with expendable income who drive by the billboard by the airport definitely do
[ATTACH] This might not even apply to anyone in this thread but just in case I’m not the only central Indiana person here- it looks like the...
Yes. If anything, an LTL appearance typically *slightly* increases the likelihood of a band playing riot.
Green Day presents: The 180 Tour. More features. More Swedish songwriters. More trap beats. 0% uncut rock
I feel like the eventual goal is to move to Soldier Field in 2026 or whatever the first year is that the bears are gone. the question is: how...

I checked and yes, apparently they are. Seem like they’re pretty cheap too. Thought about putting them on the Paramore stage but then that filled...
[ATTACH] Just finished my 3rd and final mock lineup of the year
I love New Found Glory but they absolutely don’t need more than 45 minutes. That’s the exact right amount of time before they start clogging the...
Damnit
Some retired cop who thinks he’s Clint Eastwood is gonna sign up, not understand crowdsurfing, and RKO the first person who comes over his section...
This is like the kinda prize a high school would give out to whatever student designed the best semester newsletter cover. the idea that a...
Alright now when are we getting those TGI dates
Perfect example of a scenario where they should have combined those tours and promoted it as a small festival. They’re both going to eat into the...
I don’t think that’s a thing. I know artists have played Indy just before/after riot fest and it’s been fine. Milwaukee is much closer to Chicago...
Paramore has never been more in
I live in Indy and haven’t been before so forgive me if this is a dumb question, but might they be playing Taste of Chicago?
I definitely think the pull was stronger when it was Desert Trip. That was 6 relatively rare acts who had been legends of music for nearly a...
