They did. Riot just responded to my FB Messenger question. "Due to unforeseen circumstances Hot Snakes will unfortunately no longer be able to...
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO PLEASE NO
I like Saturday, but Interpol has been my #1 priority since first wave was announced. But I'm also good with Beck, Jesus Lizard, Voidz, Twin...
Yep, they were going to encore with "Give Me It," which would have been perfect.
State Champs
I'm doing the most un-punk thing ever at 10: trying to buy Paul McCartney tickets. Look forward to dropping back in after the news (hopefully)...
Perhaps it's not blame but it definitely reads as criticism.
"...coming shortly." "...alleviated shortly." I really wish "shortly" had an actual date attached to it. Even if it's Sept. 13.
Or think of it this way: better chance to get a decent spot for his set. I know FJM won't be nearly like this, but one great example:...
Maha was a blast! That was my first time attending, and I had a great time. Tune-Yards/Kills/FJM/Weezer was a pretty fun block of live music....

Hey! Pitchfork sent me an email about Beck playing at Riot Fest. Catch Beck at Riot Fest, September 14-16! My favorite part of the email was the...
Might be reading too much into your username, but I'm guessing you would have been good with Ride, too? Saw them at the Riviera in 2015—wonderful...
I have to admit, even with Bauhaus possible, and even with a good slate of bands in the initial rollout, this kinda sums up my fest mood right...
Maybe Riot provided compelling arguments/evidence that the article would look bad in a few hours? An eternal optimist that likes Bauhaus—I don't...
Maybe Peter Murphy finally got his visa issues cleared, and that's what took so long? He's had to postpone a San Francisco residency three times,...
Story is no longer there but look at the original URL:...
I had a brief DM chat with Mark Rose and he said the room caps at 150. I'd hate to guess a time to get in line, but at least you have the capacity...

Uninformed guess: Sean's death.
