    Also, Slayer and Anthrax are doing a US tour together. They'll be around Illinois during Riot Fest week but no Chicago date. Also have that weekend open....seems like a lock.

    Yeesh, they had those two in back-to-back years. I get that they have new music, but it seems a little repetitive.

    This was bound to happen. There are only so many big name metal/punk/hip hop bands to headline a festival like Riot Fest. It's why we've seen Riot Fest branch out to indie (Modest Mouse) and hard rock (System of a Down) in recent years as well.

    Give what you can.

    Looks like they'll both be in PA from Sept 15-18... There is an off day, but that seems like it'd be a huge pain in the ass to play a show in PA, fly to IL, then go right back to PA for another show. But, the fact that they left out Chicago from their touring route is probably a pretty big hint. If anything, they'll both play Friday night.

    With recent local changes in Riot Fest’s partnership in Toronto, the planning process and resources required in staging a fest in Ontario was no longer compatible because of the available timeline. While Riot Fest has fallen in love with Toronto and the province of Ontario because of all of the great music fans who have welcomed and supported us in these last few years, Riot Fest 2016 will only take place in Denver and Chicago. We have every hope that we'll be back in Toronto in the near future, and, in the meantime, we'll begin announcing the lineups for Denver (Sept. 2-4) and Chicago (Sept. 16-18) shortly.

    I'm sure some people will make the trek over for Friday or whatever is opposite of what their date is.

    Money is money. Flights aren't that bad and you rent some gear (or if you're both of these bands, likely have a second setup just for these purposes that can be moved around).

    consider The Hold Steady doing Boys and Girls locked in. They've posted hints on their FB to denver and chicago plus posted below.

    "More info on the first few shows will be available Wednesday, May 18. Mark it on your calendar!

    (One apology: The plan was that today was going to be the day releasing the precise info on everything. Unfortunately, some details with our co-conspirators changed and it required waiting two more weeks on the details.)"

    I'm pretty sure that the song is TV Casualty by the Misfits which is on Static Age.

    I put the likelihood of a real Misfits reunion at worse odds than Leicester City winning the EPL.

    Guys, I am too excited now at the thought of a Misfits reunion. I didn't watch the video until now, but the crimson ghost is definitely there at the end.

    Doyle's bio on Instagram currently says: "GUITARIST OF THE MISFITS 1980-2001 / 20??-20??"

    I think this is happening.
