Riot Fest 2016 (Chicago) Festival • Page 67

I feel like it's honestly baffling to me at this point that Paramore hasn't played yet. Seems like such a natural fit. Maybe that's just because I really want to see Paramore on it. Green Day I'm not surprised we haven't seen yet, based on the way their last few years went, but I'll be really surprised if we don't see them within the next year or 2.

 

Early bird 3 day passes went on sale on 11/22 last year.

 

Shit. Didn't realize that would be coming up so soon

 

And for the 6th year in a row, I won't have enough money for the presale haha

I hope Bouncing Souls, The Flatliners, Direct Hit, The Lawrence Arms, Dead To Me, H2O, Less Than Jake and Joyce Manor all play.

I feel like Menzingers will

 

Downtown Struts aren't together anymore; they're just playing the Dead to Me show as a special one-time thing. Some of the guys started a new band, Volume, that might be able to play one of the side stages early.

 

I don't think there's a combo of bands that could wow me enough to get me there this year. Maybe a Green Day/blink/linkin park combo though, like ones overseas. But that's shooting too high for RF I think, we'd be lucky to get one

 

I have a feeling Green Day will play Lollapalooza this year.

 

Green Day, Paramore, Talking Heads. that's what im going for.

 

I predict Paramore every year and it's yet to happen. This year would make sense though since they have a new album coming out. I would love to see it happen!

 

I don't think Paramore would draw well as Riot Fest headliner. At least Fall Out Boy is from Chicago.

 

Paramore is easily as popular as No Doubt, if not more so and not so far off in style.

 

Paramore would easily draw... You're underestimating them by an incredible amount.

 

For a friday night headliner?

 

Presale starts at 10 AM CST tomorrow

 

Definitely buying one.

 

Fuck. I'm gonna have to buy 2 of them. I'm a little low on money to do it but I'll appreciate it when they go on sale and are over $200

 

Early bird passes were $100 last year so maybe $110 this year?

 

I'm hoping they're still $100

 

I think they have gone up $10 just about every year.

 

Damn looks like they're starting at $130. Pretty big increase

 

They also had to of sold out in milliseconds because I refreshed the page at exactly 11 and the first tier were gone.

Now I'm looking at $354 after fees for 2 tickets. Probably gonna have to wait on this one
