Riot Fest 2017 Festival • Page 26

The fest is in North Lawndale. I don't think you'll find much in that neighborhood, but it's worth a shot. If you aren't planning on having a car, I'd recommend being close to the CTA, since the pink line stops right by the park. Personally, I live in Logan Square and took a bus every day that dropped me off a block away.

 

Bayside played their self-titled album unannounced in 2015.

 

Bosstones have already confirmed they are playing Let's Face It! Streetlight will almost definitely do a 10 year.

I think Bayside have even teased possibly doing something like this for it.

 

MIA playing Kala for its 10 year? Although she just put a new album out last year.

QOTSA has its 15 year for Songs for the Deaf and 10 year for Era Vulgaris as well.

 

I sure hope so. I almost saw them play S/T a couple years ago in Philly at a super small venue, but I ended up getting a migraine that day so I wasn't able to make it. Seeing TWW in full would be a dream come true. Easily my favorite Bayside record.

 

New found glory sticks and stones is one I was thinking of

 

I think that, other than Jawbreaker, all of these are very likely.

 

Really crossing my fingers for TAYF, wasn't into the band in time for the 10-year tour and that's one of my all-time favorites.

 

As much as I enjoyed seeing them three nights last week I was looking forward to a proper headlining set.

 

Anyone in here ever done VIP or Deluxe VIP?

 

RE: The diversity discussion earlier in the thread. The fest is a bit more diverse than people are giving it credit for. It woukd be rad if a band like pwr bttm or diet cig played, and yeah, the top names have a bunch of cis-white dudes, but the undercard is pretty stacked decently. By my quick calculation, there are at least 11 bands with a female member:

-MIA
-Downtown Boys
-New Order
-That Dog
-Dessa
-Peaches
-Beach Slang
-Alice Bag
-X
-The Regrettes
-Paramore

I know the fest is predominantly still male even within these bands, but it's still better than some other fests (Looking at your Montebello).

I probably won't go to the main event because I hate outdoor music fests with a burning passion, but I've gone to Thrice and Dillinger Escape Plan after shows the last two years. Hopefully there'll be another one I want to hit up this year...maybe Dead Cross at Township?

 

90 minutes!

 

Sadly I'll be in class for this, at least I have something to look forward too when I'm done!

 

If letlive. farewell tour is really happening, then they've got to be a lock for wave 2 right?

 

that's for getting that list together, definitely some of them i wasn't aware had women/nb members

 

I'll be pissed if NFG does Sticks and Stones

My predictions:

FYS - Rise or Die Trying
Bayside - Walking Wounded
Lawrence Arms - Oh Calcutta (probably not but please pleas please)
Hot Water Music - Fuel For The Hate Game (20 year anniversary)
Streetlight - SITB (This is obviously happening no prediction here)
Say Anything - IARB (probably not likely but would love to see it)
Mayday Parade - ALIR (Seems likely)


I doubt Jawbreaker does one because clearly if they were doing a certain album some people would be turned away by it.

 

I'm in the Albany area too... I was planning on driving

Bayside

 

Definitely excited about Oh! Calcutta! I'd be excited about A Lesson In Romantics but I'm going to the show Saturday.

 

They are revealing the 2nd wave of bands next month along with the last 2 full album plays

 

Fuck yes Oh Calcutta!

So stoked for that.. Bayside will be sick too.

In the past when they announce these some bands still end up doing albums and I'd assume FYS and Streetlight will end up doing their albums

 

Rise or Die Trying has to be one of the final two.

 

I think that will be a low key thing and not apart of this list. I don't think they're really big enough for them to have to advertise it that way
