Seems like the 1:30 to 2:05 time slot might be labeled wrong. Makes more sense if that slot ran from 1:20 to 1:55.
Unfortunately, that's at least 3 artists since Thursday - Nine Inch Nails, Pixies, and Skating Polly that have cancelled. There will...
[MEDIA] I assume that the cancellation of Skating Polly's September tour applies to Riot Fest as well. Suspect that we'll see more cancellations...
Sorry, I wasn't clear in my comment. I was referring to Morrissey's provocative comments on a number of issues in recent years and his support of...
Morrissey is definitely a problematic pick and wonder if many artists would shy away from being associated with him in any way these days. Having...
Went to Kississippi and Bad Moves/Oceanator shows in DC recently and all attendees seemed to be observing requirement to wear masks except when...
Seems like considerate email promotion from rival Pitchfork festival attempting to highlight to their readers what artists appearing at Riot Fest...
Nope. You read it correctly. Ride is my favorite band and Nowhere is my favorite album. I'm from the East Coast so I was not at the Riviera...
I love shoegaze and psyche as much as punk so I agree that's a great lineup. I was hoping all along that Riot Fest would get MBV and/or Slowdive.
Remain Calm. All is well. [MEDIA]
Sadly, I didn't know about Menzingers acoustic show on Sunday night, but I was exhausted by that point anyway after going to aftershows the...
Aftershows can be useful to resolve set conflicts during fest. Last year on Saturday 4 bands I wanted to see were essentially playing at same...
Riot Fest has definitely damaged their brand and hurt their trust level with their customer base going forward. They mortgaged the future by...
I am also baffled by some of their decisions that seem like really bad decisions from a business standpoint like not announcing the daily lineups...
Lots of ticket promos and ticket giveaways is what festivals do when ticket sales aren't meeting expectations. It raises the festival attendance,...
I think some people are being overly optimistic about the possibilities for big names to be added to the lineup at this point. I really don't...
Pretty much what I'm expecting from any second wave announcement at this point. An inexpensive addition to fill out lineup. Really skeptical...
Yeah, I remember you pointing out that they were asking for vendor applications online. That does seem odd and different from previous years.
I think you're right. I want Riot Fest to succeed since lots of people put a lot of effort into organizing the event, but all the delays and the...
Unfortunately, I'm starting to consider selling my tickets and avoid the high cost of airfare and hotel as well. Last year was my first year...
You are correct. Riot Fest announced the daily lineups on June 22nd last year.
My upcoming shows before Riot Fest: Jonah Matangra (playing Far's Water & Solutions) Menzingers Sparta Beach House New Order Shonen Knife The...
The booking of Jerry Lee Lewis for Riot Fest has always seemed a bit tone deaf to me in the current environment. Seems like a risky booking with...
Besides being a little irked that I paid more for my pre-sale tix that is not a good sign for the festival. That's a fairly good indicator that...
