Riot Fest 2021 (September 17-19, Chicago IL) Tour • Page 23

I will get you a shirt, buddy

 

They were pegged to play larger festivals but that all must have fallen through.

Regardless, this saves Riot Fest for a year. Guaranteed huge sales out of this.

 

I think they were always going to play Riot

 

I don't think so. Before RATM said they were reuniting for this year they were the huge rock act to get. Once they got knocked down a peg it became more appealing to do smaller festivals where they are the headliner.

 

It also says Douglas Park on there so that’s confirmation that Riot Fest will be back at the same location.

Not that there was a lot of doubt but ya never if the neighborhood is going to boot Riot Fest one year.

 

seeing mcr at Riot Fest will be my 3rd time seeing them. saw them with linkin park and then a year or 2 later with blink 182 on their reunion tour

 

They jumped the prices up $10 bucks, that's fair

 

its 149 now? was just 139
prolly sold out of the 139

 

better than boston calling. yikes on them.

 

I mean that is just wild speculation and I really don't see Riot being a fest that would knock down someone they had as a headliner because another band came to them. Also like... ya they were always playing riot. Jason even said Coachella and Riot is how he heard of the reunion.

 

I think it was $124 or something initially before the announce

 

you know why its so expensive right??? they got rage, foo and rhcp. 3 bands who are not cheap

 

no theyve been 139 for a while now. started at $99 back in December.

before they even announced it they where 139 plus fees

 

Of course it's expensive because of that. It was never a high-tier festival, either.

 

its still like *the cheapest* festival for what you get. MCR tickets in LA alone were that price.

 

Less than $150 for a 3 day festival is an insane deal. MCR alone is easily worth that to me

 

I agree. It's a personal decision on my part to not buy weekend passes now because I would rather see the whole line-up and pick a single day. My old ass can't do a weekend anymore.

 

MCR At Riot AND just notified that my dog made it successfully through his surgery, what an exhilarating morning.

 

Oh ya I wasn't aiming it at anyone, just pointing out that I think Riot Fest is very reasonable. Definitely understand waiting for single days if you're not into the whole weekend

 

I honestly don't know if they would have been top 4 if they played Lolla.

 

That's super weird, I was reading it and that was the first band I put too. Well I jokingly put Korn at the first spot and then was like yo wait Deftones actually work for the third and I'd love to see em.

 

I don't think they'd be top 8 tbh.

Seems there's a chance that The 1975, Foo Fighters, RHCP, and Bon Iver are the rock headliners and that's insane before you get pop and hip-hop acts topping like Lizzo and Kendrick Lamar.

Oh yeah, and RATM. There's so much to top Lolla that they can't have even broken the top 10.

 

Top 8 I could see. They are bigger than a band like The 1975 who are likely to be on the lineup this year and will crack the top 8.

 

Hard disagree on The 1975. That fanbase is huge.

 

I don't know. They didn't sell out the United Center and their show at the Aragon didn't sell out right away according to @mattfreaksmeout so I'm inclined to believe MCR would be higher than them.
