Riot Fest 2021 (September 17-19, Chicago IL) Tour • Page 178

whoa whoa whoa... why is Radkey on this poster (2nd to last line)?? ill be so bummed if they are off riot.

 

Yeah, they are going to be processing a lot of refunds over the next two weeks. The single or two day pass approach might actually work pretty well if they were able to pull in MGK, even if he weren't a headliner.

Think about it. The Nine Inch Nails day will sell really well. The day that has MGK will sell really well (particularly if it were the same day as RTJ). Less convinced that the Pumpkins will have a massive draw in the same way, but that's par for the course with their headliners where one isn't quite as popular as the rest...

 

Damn Lolla looks super good.

Well... maybe we’ll get Limp next year

 

Every once in a while someone will play both in the same year. Bully did in 2016 I think.

 

Well Radkey posted about playing Riot Fest just last week. There have been instances where bands have played both, it is just really rare.

 

Still listed on Riot. They're a small enough act that they can get away with it, I think. And I doubt Riot is too concerned about their presence at Lolla. I don't think anyone is picking Riot over Lolla because of them.

 

But what about all the Journey/Radkey fans that don’t care about any other band on the Riot Fest lineup?

 

Limp Bizkit is playing two times in the Chicago area this summer within a span of a few weeks... all for the nookie

 

I'm actually really hoping for a Lolla aftershow so I won't have to go to Indiana to see them

 

I might be wrong, but I seem to remember that day selling out.

 

If it did, it was like the week of or something like that

 

Does anyone have any particular hopes for aftershows this year? Here's mine:

NOFX
Thursday with Fucked Up
The Lawrence Arms

There's other combinations that might entice me, but these are the ones I would get a ticket to irregardless of whatever else was going on.

 

I think the Gaslight Anthem also played both one year

 

for an after show - any combo of thrice, circa, thursday, the bled and fever would make me happy (also etid if they make the final line up, which im starting to get nervous about because even though they are playing furnace fest they have stated the new album is out in Oct and dont want to tour until its out.)

 

how bout this for this years 'actor band', haha

 

Could double as an "ironic mosh" band. Would watch.

Wall of death during "Sex Hair," please.

 

I think Lawrence Arms will do a skeleton coast release show at Metro for an aftershow. Just seems like the right thing to do haha

and if Menz play maybe they’ll open!

 

Would absolutely love a Motion City Soundtrack aftershow, though them holding out to do a NYE show instead makes more sense.

State Champs and PUP both make a lot of sense to do aftershows.

 

I feel like they are definitely going to be on Thursday night too. SO maybe my hopes are too high, but I'm expecting them to play a bunch that weekend. Haha.

The Menzingers opening for them would be wild! I would moreso expect Sincere Engineer to be added over that, though, TBH. I know she has the release show, but by the time that show announcement rolled around that would be sold out or pretty close to it.

 

After the year we've had I can't guarantee I'd make it out alive after a Pup aftershow.

 

the final DWP show has leaked - more of the same but with a fun wrinkle or 2

 

Just looking at these crazy 4 day lineups makes my knees and back sore

 

I cannot stress the power of Motrin and how thankful I am for it.

 

I bet that MCS will add a Chicago date to their CTTM 17 tour after they play Riot

 

it didnt leak it was posted on time. a lot of the bands have been posting it over the past hour. i think it was 11am cst and 12 est
