Riot Fest 2019 (September 13-15) Tour • Page 30

I mean, I went to both shows they played in Chicago and there was definitely a lot of energy. Sure, they have some slower/softer songs, but so does someone like Father John Misty who played last year. Both have punk backgrounds so fit the atmosphere in that respect.

 

Sorry I’m dumb and out of the Loop. BOCC = who?

 

Better Oblivion Community Center (Phoebe Bridgers and Conor Oberst)

 

OH. Gotcha! I must’ve missed something earlier in this thread and couldn’t for the life of me figure out what it meant

 

Dropkick & Clutch played last year, so Riot probably didn't even try to book them.. heck of a show though

 

BOCC really wouldn’t be an odd fit at all

 

I can see AlexisonFire on this

 

That would be cool. Get Moneen too - they are playing one of AOF’s summer shows.

 

That's almost a given.

 

There's ungodly amounts of money I would pay for a Moneen show.

 

I really should have just flown to Toronto for their reunion shows earlier this year.

 

Flaming Lips new album out in July, could definitely see them and Raconteurs closing out the Saturday night main stage..

got a new update for this week Rusty?

 

I think the Flaming Lips have played at least five festivals I’ve been to, and I’ve never actually seen them due to schedule conflicts.

 

I saw more of them than I ever intended in 2014 when The National were running late on arriving to Humboldt Park.

 

I saw them covering David Bowie from afar while watching NOFX in 2016 (who may have had a larger crowd than the Lips, it was definitely crowded)

 

The Flaming Lips are assumed to be a quick fill-in for 2016. I don't recall who we think dropped.

 

Oh man I'm still playing catch-up after a weekend of Star Wars Celebration :)

 

The Flaming Lips are honestly a great time live. But if they're playing I hope it's a Soft Bulletin show rather than just a normal Lips show. Would make it feel like there was a purpose rather than just tossing them on the lineup again like in 2016.

 

also, since it's the 15th anniversary.... if we aren't getting a huge reunion, i'll take 15 album plays

 

And the NIL

 

Seems that Frank Iero is a lock. No Chicago dates on the tour. Reggie and the Full Effect could be, too.

 

Obligatory “MCR confirmed” post.

 

Heard they’re trying to book some punk bands this year

 

Makes sense. Potentially the start of a fall tour, because the current run ends in August. Which I think makes Reggie a little less likely, unless they add more dates?

Wouldn't be a true Riot Fest thread without somebody saying "this is the year" for My Chemical Romance, Fugazi, Minor Threat, Dead Kennedys with Jello, and/or Operation Ivy.

 

But we got Jawbreaker and I’m forever grateful.
