Less than 2 hours. I am at fever pitch for this announcement. My girlfriend thinks FOB is going to play, but I don't see that happening. I could see The Damned Things since it would be 4 months since they played Chicago and they're curently more active than FOB.
I don’t think they the are going to repeat two of the same headliners from 2013 and since we already know Blink is playing I have always assumed that completely eliminates FOB.
Whether in one hour or another year, MCR and Op Ivy are going to happen. It's just a matter of WHEN, not IF.
They're really keeping things tight after last year, it seems... No leaked news article! Please oh please let both of those things be "another year" not "one hour." Because I'm selfish.
Betting $100 we get a troll polka cover announcement at 10 AM, and the actual announcement at 8 PM again or something.
Riot will get a MCR performance one day, but not the first one. Reading/Leeds will pay an ungodly amount of money for the first shows.
I don't think so since the broken Zolturd machine was giving out this year's hints. They dicked around a LOT last year to pull a stunt like that - BUT I guess this is Riot Fest we're talking about.
I'll bet they want to make up for last year's problems and will be bringing us a 90% complete lineup at 10am today just as advertised.
Last year they specifically said the fun begins at 10 am or whatever. They have said the lineup drops at 10 am today. I don’t think they’ll mess around with it. I also think if there’s a second wave, they’re not going to announce that there is a 2nd wave and it’ll be a surprise later. Unless we’re missing a headliner again, obviously.
For what it's worth, Dessa 'liked' Riot's lineup announcement tweet. That could be because she's playing again or she's a Riot alum. I'd really love to see Shredders play the fest. They're RTJ-adjacent as far as a live act and accessibility.
