Riot Fest 2016 (Chicago) Festival • Page 49

Billy Talent Setlist at Riot Fest Denver 2016

 

No, we don't. I figured I'll try for late night one night. I could've done two singles $35 / each but neither of us would eat close to all of it offers. lol.

 

I'll just be at the Dillinger Escape Plan after show because I hate big festivals for the most part. Let me know if you're gonna be there and we can enjoy some All Rise beers!

 

Am I dumb or have they not released a map yet? I figured they would have it out by now since it's like a week away.

 

I haven't seen one yet either.

 

Safe to assume the setup is the same as last year? I would have no problem with that.

 

Most likely, which would be great. The Douglas Park layout is so much better than Humboldt, especially in 2014.

According to below, there is one less stage - no Revolt Stage. I wonder how that will affect everything.

This year's schedule: Riot Fest Chicago 2016

Really hope that the two paired stages are a little further from each other this year. From what I heard last year in Chicago, the bass from Ice Cube's set bled super heavily into No Doubt's set.

 

Lordt I need that Lawrence arms card

 

Eh, I'm bad with dates. So if it's a lack in communication, it's all on my end. However, even if I had found out right away, I'd still be bitching. hahaha

 

LESS THAN A WEEK!

 

The weather forecast is looking great so far. Hope it doesn't change!

 

60% chance of rain Friday :(

 

Yeah and saturday might have some thunderstorms. Still a weeks out. Atleast it wont be too hot.

 

The forecast changed after my last post. I jinxed us. Sorry everyone!

 

Chicago weather this summer, like every other year, has been unpredictable. We've had days with rain forecasted and nothing happened. This summer has seemed more unpredictable than previous years but it might just be me. My near 30 years spent here might now be blurring into each other.

While I always expect rain in September, don't be surprised to see it change up to and during the storm.

 

Even so, this is the most accurate weather forecast.

 

How has Riot Fest been with weather the past few years? I know in 2014 it was really bad on Friday.

 

Also I totally didn't realize that Denzel Curry was playing at this until now. Don't know how I missed him on the poster - he's a XXL freshman this year. Definitely want to watch him, even if it's just for 15 minutes.

 

It has rained every year since 2013.

2014, though, was a special kind of hell.

 

It's going to be cold and rainy. It always is.

 

It's only cold when it rains, though!

It should be a relatively pleasant weekend outside of the possibility of rain.

 

That Friday in 2014 was fucking awful. 2013 Sunday was also pretty bad
