Riot Fest 2018 - September 14-16 - Douglas Park, Chicago Tour • Page 68

Someone on reddit guessed that Screaming Females was a hint based on them and it’s pretty hilarious.

 

Whitney's album was in the record store next to Sufjan's.

 

Yeah for sure. I’ve always been torn about him because he’s definitely a rock legend but the whole “married his 13-year-old cousin” thing is so gross. I don’t know if I would want to see him live.

 

My conspiracy brain is thinking: "Great Balls Of Fire">the sun>Sunny Day Real Estate.

I would poop if true.

 

I feel like there is a pretty decent number of punks that like the early rock legends. That is why it didn't really seem weird to me when they put on a Jerry Lee Lewis show back when they were still an indoor punk festival.

 

all the artists of the songs played:

elvis costello
dropkick murphys
alkaline trio
blondie
beck
jerry lee lewis

 

beck - loser

 

That’s not how these hints work. I would love to see that at some point though.

 

fixed! thanks

 

First wave announcement is what, 70% of the total bands or so?

 

i'd be more than stoked to see JLL. legend!

 

Probably even higher. The last couple years have been pretty small lists added.

 

can anyone make out what song is actually playing in the record store?

 

“After this....damn commercial,” is way too pointed a sentence to not be something. I assume The Damned again, but would anything else make sense?

 

i'm sure most of these bands won't happen, buuuuut some 15 year anniversaries (2003 was awesome) this year that would be cool to see live:

blink-182 - untitled
the postal service - give up
death cab for cutie - transatlanticism
refused - the shape of punk to come
nofx - the war on errorism
the ataris - so long astoria
yellowcard - ocean avenue (maybe Ryan performing the whole album acoustic?)
fall out boy - take this to your grave
the movielife - forty hour train back to penn
spitalfield - remember right now
less than jake - anthem
something corporate - north
dashboard confessional - a mark, a mission, a brand, a scar
coheed and cambria - in keeping secrets
alkaline trio - good mourning
afi - sing the sorrow
all american rejects - self titled
thrice - artist in the ambulance
thursday - war all the time

 

INSANELY stacked year, holy shit. That list was my senior year of high school/freshman year of college in one post.

 

same here!

 

What a year for music that was.

 

jerry lee lewis is a fucking grade-a creep

 

Maybe Baseball was an Ozma reference?

 

And the best one of them all: The Weakerthans - Reconstruction Site

 

i'd die

 

Me too, even if it wasn’t an album set.

 

Honestly, I feel like from the names thrown out there, Sufjan is the biggest surprise (if he is actually playing). We'd been speculating about Beck for a while, same with AK3 though with less certainty, Elvis Costello and Blondie have both played before, JLL is legacy and that's cool I guess. But Sufjan is genuinely surprising. I doubt he'd do the Illinoise album but it would be cool.

 

That Iron Chic + Propaghandi tour seems like it could roll through on Sunday. Even though Baltimore to Chicago would be rough
