Riot Fest 2016 (Denver) Festival • Page 2

Just wanted to pop by from the Chicago thread and congratulate you all on a great line up. Planes Mistaken For Stars and Converge... that's gonna be crushing and awesome.

 

Has anyone gone a riot fest alone? I will most likely be going alone to this.

 

I updated the OP with the admat.

 

I've gone to Chicago alone a few years, although I have known people who were there most of the time, just not with my group. It's very easy to make friends, and being alone just means you get to make your own schedule.

 

Okay, here's my personal list.

First priority:
Misfits
Thursday
Deftones
Motion City Soundtrack
The Wonder Years
Against Me!
Converge
Touche Amore
Microwave

Will see if time allows:
Death Cab
Sleater-Kinney
Underoath
Bad Religion
Suicidal Tendencies
Lagwagon
Me First and the Gimme Gimmes
Tigers Jaw
Somos
Turnover

 

Also someone in the Chicago thread mentioned that the ??? in the top row might be AFI (!!!!!!)

 

Riot Fest Chicago is literally 6.6 miles from my house, but I'm thinking about also making the trip to Denver to see The Misfits twice.

 

As of right now, this is my top 20-ish bands I'm excited for:

The Misfits
Deftones
Jane's Addiction
Billy Talent
Against Me!
Nas
Bad Religion
NOFX
Underoath
The Aquabats
Thursday
Death Cab for Cutie
Set Your Goals
Fitz and the Tantrums
Tyler the Creator
The Wonder Years
Touche Amore
Motion City Soundtrack


And then ones I'm mildly interested in seeing:

Descendents
Suicidal Tendencies
Glassjaw
Me First and the Gimme Gimmes
Leftover Crack
Converge
Fucked Up
Sleater Kinney
Hatebreed
Tigers Jaw
Turnover
Frank Iero
The Dandy Warhols

 

Just bought my passes for this, so excited, here's my top 15 bands that I wanna see the most:

Sleater -Kinney
Thursday
Converge
Fucked Up

Does anyone know whether there's parking available on/near the premises? Trying to decide whether it's worth it to rent a car in order to stay a little further away (more in the heart of the city), or if we should just stay close by and count on Uber.

 

Would they really be top row though? I can't imagine a scenario in which they are the top row band unless they're playing Decemberunderground in full, and even then they're still probably in the Bad Religion/Thursday row at best.

 

Ha. I really doubt it. I just get excited/hopeful :)

 

I mean get your hopes up even higher. They could be the ??? in the MCS row even and then we have 3 even bigger bands still to announce! But it would be cool to see them (I'm going to Chicago). I've never seen AFI live

 

Anyone get VIP tickets? Debating if I should bite the bullet and get that or just regular admission.

 

so stoked to go, especially because deftones! wish i could've gone last year.

 

You can count Tool out for the second wave, they just announced a show in October.

 

I bought a single day ticket for Sunday and a plane ticket from Chicago to see The Misfits. Here we go!

 

Nobody that was added I care about. Still a great lineup. I don't really care about any of the headliners on Saturday though, hopefully there's a good after show.

 

Desperately hoping for an underoath after show even though it seems unlikely

 

Vaguely considering this. Friday and Saturday are stacked.

 

Is Frnkiero andthe Patience different than Frnkiero andthe Cellabration?

 

Nope, he just changed the name for some reason and never specified why.

 

He could have at least added some vowels.
