Was it just me or was VIP Waaaaaaaaaaay more crowded this year? I've done VIP the past couple of years and it seemed much more chill and far less...
Damn. There are a lot of good bands on here I like, but I feel 90% have played Chicago repeatedly over the last couple of years.
"Nobody would go to prom with you. This is better than prom." WAIT! I need a date to the prom Would you like to come along But nobody would go...
My last day at current job, dicking around guessing that each of these means one band. 0: "You saw a poster that said 'Riot Fest.'" --> RIOT =...
Seems like a fun tool to make up some rumors with. [IMG]
Hoped to see Screeching Weasel and Stiff Little Fingers back at Riot, but that's a no on both. Weasel playing House of Blues in July, Stiff...
I'd never really listened to the Cobra Skulls before I saw them at Riot. The occasional song that I kind of wrote off. Well, "Thicker Than...
Well, with Blink-182 cancelling Bunbury again (they cancelled last year and said they'd do it in 2019), and the Skiba comments mentioned above, I...
I actually ended up with a pretty sweet deal out of it last year. I bought at $159 for pre-sale last year. When prices went down, I paid the...
I was attempting to make a humor joke. Your reaction tells me I should get out of this line of business.
VIP passes are the same as the "discounted" values for those who bought pre-sale last year and were promised at lower rates if they bought before...
This thread is too chummy, and I wish to get back to the bitter complaining we had just before the fest. 1. Hey person in front of me, put down...
You are 100% correct in your 98% assumption.
Last year he closed against Jawbreaker. Which was annoying, because Andrew WK is mighty fun live.
Give it up for Brian Baker. Three sets in under 24 hours with Bad Religion aftershow, Beach Rats, then Bad Religion closing out the Radicals Stage.
You know who doesn't get enough love on here? Face to Face. Saw them at Bottom Lougne, Punk Rock Bowling, two Chicago area shows in small clubs...
There were 5 last year, I'm guessing 4 this year. Wish they would have filled out a 5th with an emphasis on local bands.
There better not be a Bad Religion/Alkaline Trio conflict on Sunday. That would be my all-time favorite band vs my girlfriend's all-time...
There is no way they didn't know ????? wasn't going to happen yesterday afternoon when they released the updated poster. If so, that is such...
I think this lineup is amazing, but they somehow made me feel disappointed in it. What's the opposite of marketing?
They put out a poster YESTERDAY that showed RTJ below ????? Good lord. How was anything still in the air 24 hours ago? Biiiiig mistake. Bad,...
How, after all this time and drama, is there no ??????? Wow.
Pffft. As though that will have any affect on the power of Malort. Might as well piss on a volcano.
Damn. I'm glad I hopped on tickets right at noon. The 2016 show at Concord took a while, I assumed these would be safe for at least a few hours.
Here is the experience. You will take the shot. It will just taste like some shitty liquor. You'll think "what's the big deal?" A moment will...
