Riot Fest 2022 (September 16-18, Chicago IL) Festival • Page 91

My hearts telling me 2nd, but my mind knows better.

 

No Chicago on the Dikembe summer tour, plus they have Tweeted about really wanting to play Riot in the past

 

Makes sense, they'd definitely be a last line type of band though I'd assume?

also the Fest has their appearance this year as an Exclusive Florida show (probably just an error, but MIGHT want to fix that lol)

 

They put Florida exclusive as that it's their only Florida show

 

It's not even a Gainesville exclusive anymore though

 

Yes I completely understand, but they literally listed 3 Florida shows on their next tour in July

 

Oh lmao didn't realize that

 

Probably not last line. But maybe like, 2nd or 3rd line up from the bottom? I'm not entirely sure how popular or not this band is. I know they had a good buzz going a while back but I don't know that it ever really happened for them. These venues are relatively small... But they definitely have solid name recognition from a punk-leaning festival perspective.

 

Dolly Parton re-accepted her Rock Hall nom. Riot Fest 2022 headliner #3 confirmed.

 

They played a 150-cap room in Chicago in December (and were co-headlining with Signals Midwest). They're a solidly middle of the day on the Rebel Stage band, but they'll for sure put on a fun show.

 

Hah! That lines up with my poster placement.

Yeah, mid-day Rebel or first on Radical/Rise feels about right.

 

First on Radical/Rise on a day curated around Sunny Date Real Estate would be a really good fit too.

 

Gimme gimme gimme gimme

 

This might be a stupid question, but is ABBA still/was ever a possibility? I know it was mostly a joke last year with the petition, but what if...?

 

I mean, I doubt it was ever a serious possibility without this...

...But Abba is doing a UK residency until at least December of this year.

 

All the Abba shows for 2022/2023 are hologram shows, the band isn’t actually doing real live shows.

 

Here's a question for y'all: Would you watch an ABBA hologram over the actual Misfits or My Chemical Romance? Is there any hologram act you'd watch over an actual band playing real songs?

 

Absolutely not

 

Does Gorillaz count?

Also, I would love to see Hatsune Miku, her live shows look fun!

 

I would rather see a really good tribute band than a hologram of any artist. There’s actually an ABBA tribute band playing near my house in a couple weeks that is apparently very good.

 

Ok, it is May. Where is the lineup?!

 

These are from Inforoo, obviously nothing is confirmed until the lineup is out but just two posts I saw

 

Sleep would be cool and would pair nicely with Mastodon.

 

Just realized that Pedro The Lion is playing Chicago tonight. Since the lineup hasn’t been announced yet, I’m thinking now they’re a possibility of playing

 

Good lord please give me a Superdrag reunion
