I’m surprised they weren’t booked this year, but I can definitely see them closing a smaller stage. Or playing early evening on one of the main...
Might sell my VIP passes for this one. The only name that gets me out of my seat above Weird Al is Sparks. This is their worst set of headliners,...
I’m absolutely loving hardly having any booked artists pinned down. But it got me thinking, since some of the lineups came out later due to...
Set Your Goals is a good one that will probably play. But for God’s sake I hope Riot doesn’t book 4 Non Blondes.

I don't listen to NOFX at all, but I loved the NOFX World stage. I saw about 7 sets there, and loved the almost a "festival within a festival"...

As a metal guy, I'd be really bummed if Riot booked an additional metal headliner. I love having a few metal and hardcore acts to watch at Riot...
Oooof. Just read up on this. Regardless of my take, defense industry sponsorships for music festivals (or anything at all) is horrible, so I get...
