I went 2008, then from 2012-current, driving in from Cleveland each time. Love it, and it's my yearly end of summer ritual with friends. We get tickets every year, prior to lineup announcement. I think 2013 or 2014 when they did that first, it was like $65 for a full 3 days pass, which ruled.
been every year since '15. I went to lolla in '13 & '14, and once i saw the '14 riot lineup and instantly regretted paying 4 times as much for a lolla ticket that was much less my speed i decided i was switching brands from there on out, and was the best decision i ever made (tho dont get it twisted, lolla 2013 was god damn incredible!)
Don’t remember if this was brought up or not, but it was announced last week that Flaming Lips are playing The Soft Bulletin In its entirety at Desert Daze here in California. I know there was discussion of FL playing Riot, so maybe they’ll play it in full at Riot too?
I went to see Chiodos and left in 2012 so I barely count that but I mean I was technically there (I’ve always regretted not doing a full day). 2013 was my first 3 day and I’ve been every year since.
I've lived in the area my whole life (I'll be 30 in August), never been to Lolla either haha. I've been every year since it became a one-stop festival in 2012. I think I went to a Riot Fest show or two before that but who knows haha.
Just tried the new machine, got "It's a little old place we can get together." B-52s seem to be a lock.
Went in 2012 with my dad to see Rise Against and the Dropkick Murphys, was incredible. I was 15 and did my first ever mosh pit.
The only years I haven't gone for at least a day since 2012 have been 2015 and this year. Even though I went to school 8 hours away I trekked back for all of 2016 and Sunday of 2017 and 2018.
Zolturd thread on Reddit Supposedly someone got "If you don’t go, you won’t be okay ( I promise )" which is MCR? I've been clicking like a crack fiend and all I am getting is the same 82 old responses I posted before
I’ll never forget hearing about it for the first time in 2013. The name meant nothing to me but then like a dozen bands I followed on FB all posted the lineup at the same time so I was flooded with it. I couldn’t believe how many of my favorites were all going to be there and I made my plans almost immediately.
I feel like I've gotten a couple new ones but i think they're either for bands I don't know much about and the hint is too obscure, or they're red herrings. There was one about not peeing on the walls, I think?
Someone said one of the clues was “if you go I will love you always and forever” == Every Avenue! Hell yea! Edit: actually maybe not. I may be thinking of a different band.
"Because folk punk isn't dead." "Because we like to book Chicago punk bands." "It's a much better date than eating overcooked steak." (might have been an old one - might also be just a trump reference) "It'll be a greasy good time... perhaps even buttery?" (maybe just a joke about the butter Stamos.) It's a slow day in the office for me.
some of these must be legit clues, because I just got one that was the lyric to "Love Shack" by the B-52s
One seems to be hinting at Jawbreaker again, which I do not need to be tempted with today! I think that MCR one was definitely a troll. Even if they snagged that I can’t imagine they would put it in such a generic hint. Would love for that to be legit for everyone though.
