Riot Fest 2024 Tour • Page 94

Obviously they held back the lineup for Strung Out! How did we not realize they would do that?!

 

Wild to think that this is the first time (I think) Strung Out is playing Riot in Chicago proper

 

Fucked Up is out. Canadian tour happening during Riot

 

I did a real 10-second roller coaster reading that admat. No Chicago date! 9/22 off! All the way out in British Columbia, damn.

 

Still bummed they canceled in 2021

 

I was about to ask, did they ever end up coming back? I know most of the bands that had to drop in 2021 wound up on 2022 or 2023. But I know a few (Pixies, Dinosaur Jr.) never made it back

 

Not yet.

 

FIDLAR is out. Chicago Oct 5th

 

I’m wondering if tomorrow night is them giving a bunch of hints.

 

I would be surprised if they didn't

 

I'm guessing it'll be a teaser video or two. In the meantime... Somebody on Reddit posted the following: "I've got a hot scoop but I promised I wouldn't tell and it's killing me inside."

Apparently there's a hint in there. People seem to be guessing it's Fall Out Boy but I can't sort out why anybody would think that based on that post? Looking at the person's post history on Reddit they seem reasonably informed and logical so it would be a weird deviation for such a post but... I dunno...

 

Crossfade confirmed

 

Could be:

My insides are copper
I'd kill to make them gold

 

Take this to your grave album play confirmed! /s

 

If the Killers weren't playing Lolla, that would be such an obvious hint at them.

 

Dang was really hoping for A FIDLAR return

 

Accidentally posted in the wrong thread but…

 

Less than 48 hours left!

 

A Take This To Your Grave album play would probably be the 4th or 5th most interesting option FOB could do tbh but I guess at least it'd mean they'd be open to playing the other albums sometime

 

There’s no way FOB does an album play. I mean… look at what they’re doing at WWWY

 

It's kind of a baller move to be the only band of like, 60 on that bill to not be playing an album. An even more baller move would be Riot Fest convincing them to do so and getting the exclusive.

That's not happening. But it's a fun thought. Hah.

EDIT: And it's mostly a "fun thought" because I really want to see WWYF fail and that would be step 1 in that direction.

 

As much as I would be into it, I’m still sure it isn’t happening.

 

What if they're not doing album plays at WWWY so they can perform unique sets each night (+ likely cover more than one album in full over both nights)

Doing a standard greatest hits festival set with maybe one "rarity" if that, would be much less fun.

 

Red Scare announced a 20th anniversary showcase at the Beat Kitchen on 9/13 and 9/14. This takes a few smaller Chicago-based punk acts out (the Methadones, the Bollweevils) as well as Brendan Kelly solo.

I'm super jealous of the night 2 line-up. I've been dying to see the Methadones again.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if they still can play. It's at Beat Kitchen so it's tiny.
