Bloc Party's Silent Alarm run starts September 16th in DC followed by Philly, Boston, and NYC. Then there's two CA dates in November. Nothing at all in the midwest. Feels like there's a pretty good chance they'll be on Riot Fest based on that.
Rockstar Disrupt Tour likely takes off a couple names considering their Chicago date is nearly the old Warped date of 7/12.
I'm putting Primus & Slayer in the very likely to play Riot category Les Claypool: Primus will support final leg of Slayer’s farewell tour
Given the current tour routing, I'm not sure if this makes them more or less likely. There's a big gap in their schedule from August 3rd (Germany) to October 4th (Brazil). I guess they could add some dates in the US in August/September (probably scattered dates in major cities), go down south to Brazil, then play a California date.
Slayer haven't played in South America for their farewell tour, so maybe it will be in septemebr/october, and then maybe the final leg in the Us for november/december

Can't believe we went 4 months without additional information last year hahah that was a crazy time I would appreciate the 2017 roll out this year
Interesting that the two earliest years were the years with fairly substantial reunion acts. That probably means nothing, but... I still find it interesting. Last year was pretty intense looking back on it. I'm hoping they have their shit together (well, more together) than last year and we wind up with a "more typical" mid-May announcement. Feels like the rumor mills are swirling less hard this year. Everybody still burnt out?
