Riot Fest 2018 - September 14-16 - Douglas Park, Chicago Tour • Page 73

Here’s my hot take - this lineup sucks.

 

I like how the 3rd headliner is still tba

 

I mean, Jerry Lee Lewis needs some company.

 

the undercard has plenty of very good bands, the only high up band I really care for is Interpol

 

piebald fits the crowd of shitty people as well

 

Ahh, another year, another wishing I could go

Also very proud of myself for predicting a bunch of these

 

Yah shut out one Hopeless band I bet you’re not getting the others either. If only a band on that label had a lot of pull with fans and how people saw the label.

 

I was still hoping that was going to be Dolly until it dropped. Both of those booking are rough.

 

Hellll yea a lot of my personal wish list on here (Father John Misty, Bleachers, the Front Bottoms)

Super excited to see Mom Jeans, The Audution, the Voidz, Superchunk.

Definitely very pleased.

 

Didn’t even notice that. Ugh.

 

Hobo Johnson lol

 

more curious to see what other tours we get out of this

 

Not the best lineup but there’s definitely a bunch of bands I’d want to see. Praying about it.

 

Every single act that would be on my MUST sees I’ve already seen live. At Riot Fest. I’ll have to take another look but Liz Phair and Johnny Marr are the only things that stand out as being personally exciting and still on my list.

 

Spitalfield though!!!!!!

And you knowwwww they’re playing Remember Right Now in full

 

the good news is this lineup does not seem overly dude heavy from a quick run through. Better than many fests, especially punk oriented ones

 

Pronoun being on there is dope.

 

Kinda surprised The Aquabats are the only Ska related band on this whole lineup

There's a handful I'm unfamiliar with though. So correct me if I'm wrong

 

Prob will wait to see which day has Blink and go from there.

Arkells, The Frights, The Districts, Speedy Ortiz, Direct Hit!, and Mannequin Pussy all good bands on the undercard

Lot of bands in that upper-mid tier I'd like to see as well. I made a dumb mistake and didn't see Bad Religion or Underoath at Warped years ago and would like to rectify that

 

Alright, so there’s still one more headliner to be announced, are we placing bets still for Limp Bizkit? Or?...

 

I’d still guess Rancid but I’m probably wrong

 

looks like tbs will be an after show this year

 

Also, I’m very surprised our Yo La Tengo prediction ended up not happening. Maybe 2nd wave?

 

Crossing my fingers for a The Audition after show bc wowweeee this lineup is ass

 

What a great lineup
