Riot Fest 2022 (September 16-18, Chicago IL) Festival • Page 29

are they even going to allow interstellar travel by September? some bands couldnt even come from canada

 

Ok, you win. This one actually made me laugh

 

Is there a list of other musicians/artists whose head GWAR has chopped off during their set anywhere online?

 

Top 35 executions by Gwar

Theres a list of names before the Top35, probably not complete but a good start

 

This is beautiful. Thanks!

 

It's been a while, (Staind not confirmed) but

Some bands we can probably rule out..

the Queers & the Dwarves.. July 2
the Decemberists.. Aug 16
Failure.. July 1

and just because
Kid Rock & Foreigner.. Aug 19
George Thurgood & the Destroyers (opening for Sammy Hagar).. August 27

so sadly, no Bad to the Bone or Right Now wall of death

 

Bummed Foreigner is playing with Kid Rock.

 

Fuckkkk no Kid Rock??

 

On a serious note I'm surprised that no festival was able to snag The Decemberists. Haven't they been gone for a while?

 

GWAR on Springer back in the 90's was amazing (it's on Youtube), I think Jerry even got eaten alive..

 

First 30 announced for furnace fest! 60 more to go

 

Interpol also announced a May date in Chicago, so they are in the ‘probably not, but who’s to say’ category, lol

 

Lots on that Furnace lineup that I hope Riot gets as well, namely Strike Anywhere, Elliot, and Pedro. Stretch Arm Strong would be rad but I assume they won’t do much besides Furnace Fest.

 

Quicksand and Nothing would be sick. Was hoping for Pedro The Lion too, but it looks like they’re playing Chicago May 1st. Or I guess that’s a maybe?

 

tickets for ff are more expensive this year than riot fest. tier one with fees is over $300

 

I don't factor anything announced in April or May

 

The Format shows for the spring are being cancelled (after being postponed a million times), so maybe they're on the radar for RF + an after show?

 

Really hope Riot gets Alexisonfire!

 

i know there is a strategy of "get them already invested in and close to buying before showing fees" that probably works psychologically but if i were a promoter id build that into the price upfront, and post prices as "$315 - all fees included!" b/c casually tossing in an extra $66.23 at the finish line is a rough look

 

Pretty sure that is a rescheduled date. Swore I saw that on the Wrigley calendar last summer.

 

Seeing green day at a few festivals this year makes me sad and wonder when riot fest is gonna pull the trigger

 

Was hoping THIS year :(

 

Who said they aren't.... it's definitely a possibility

somebody has to headline Sunday

 

I feel like there's absolutely no way that Riot Fest hasn't tried to get Green Day before. The stars just have to align. But seeing them on the festivals they're playing has me feeling like they'd be down for Riot at this point. And they'll almost definitely have a new album out by then so...

 

Man, imagine if Riot got Green Day just to give the middle finger to WWWY
