Riot Fest 2018 - September 14-16 - Douglas Park, Chicago Tour • Page 108

At this point, I honesty have no idea whether the heck I’m joking or not...

 

good luck in your training! are you in Chicago?

 

Thank you and yep! I live in one of the nw neighborhoods called Lincoln Square.

 

I don't think the second wave or daily lineups are realistic at this point

Maybe we'll get aftershows or a schedule though

 

How could we get a schedule without daily line-ups?

 

It seems as if anything is possible at this point!!

 

Children, that was our only release. There will be no second wave this year.

 

You guys what if the unannounced headliner is actually a band called ???????

 

This actually seems more likely than getting the second wave

 

I got it, people. The final headliner is The Riddler.

 

Damn, maybe that means we’ll finally get Batman as a headliner next year

 

awesome! i live up north too but do most of my running in Logan Square with my friends.

 

Cool! I actually ran past Logan Square yesterday. If you ever see a 6'4, bearded, bespectacled dude running in a sweatband, that's me.

 

All I could think about when I read this is that one Method Man song from the Batman Forever soundtrack called "The Riddler."

 

Maybe they’ll book another Journey cover band to headline like Bamboozle did years ago

 

Are the horoscopes clues? Nada Surf? Screeching Weasel?

 

I predicted Nada Surf as 2nd wave, and that they’d do Let Go in its entirety, but since full-album plays we’re already announced, I don’t think it’s likely now...

 

How are you getting those from the horoscopes?

 

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Being popular is the most important thing in the world.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It’s what separates us from the animals.
Except the weasel.

 

I just noticed they're all Simpsons quotes.

 

REM was on the Simpsons.

 

DON’T PLAY WITH MY EMOTIONS NOW

 

So if we think it was a band on The Simpsons...

Peter Frampton, REM, The Who, Sonic Youth, Smashing Pumpkins, and Green Day have all been on The Simpsons

Cypress Hill and Blink 182 have also been on, but they’re already playing...

 

Coming in from NJ for the 2nd year with my buddies and brother. Jawbreaker was our main lure last year and we loved it so much that we are doing the pilgrimage yearly going forward. Loving the lineup so far and 2nd wave will only make it better. Only doing Sat/Sun due to family/work obligations--same as last year.

Shows coming up:

Gaslight Anthem
NJ festival featuring Beach Slang & Bleachers
Jawbreaker (Friday of RF in BKN)
Riot Fest
Face to Face acoustic
Death Cab For Cutie


Just saw in past month or so: Face To Face, Quiet Slang, The Get Up Kids, Smashing Pumpkins, Against Me!/Bouncing Souls

 

I’m not anticipating much from the second wave. If it had a headliner that would move tickets they would have announced it instead of this never-ending “limited time” $100 tickets.
