But honestly… It would be awesome if for like, their 20th anniversary, Riot just said “fuck it” and made a lineup of absolutely off-the-wall acts
To be fair, there's a decent chance Sunday on the Main Stages goes Mr. Bungle -> Devo -> Flaming Lips -> Slipknot which is pretty off-the-wall for any year except 2021 lol
REM would be sick but Lolla has first dibs over them if they ever reunite. The guy who does the booking for Lolla said in a Reddit AMA REM is his dream act he wants to play the festival.
Nah, not even in 2021 could that happen. I think they will change whatever schedule Mr Bungle was originally given. It would seem pretty natural to have the last 3 bands on the Riot stage be The Ghost Inside, Mr Bungle, and Slipknot with the last 2 bands on the Roots stage being Flaming Lips and Devo.
We're on the same page, I consider Riot/Roots to be the "Main Stages" and seeing those 4 bands bouncing back and forth will be a lot of fun
As much as I'd love to stick around for Slipknot... I really hope the pair of main stages has Devo playing at 6 or 7ish.
I’ve only seen The Flaming Lips once and they were fun but it was a free show and I’m not super well versed in their music.
I have never been to a giant festival before (except riot/bamboozle/warped) but I would definitely consider going for REM. Big time bucket list band
Now that we have a ~mostly~ ~secure~ lineup, what are people's priorities? Smashing Pumpkins, Coheed & Cambria, NOFX, Motion City Soundtrack, Circa Survive, The Lawrence Arms, Beach Bunny, Living Colour, The Sounds, Meet Me @ The Altar, Kississippi Run the Jewels, Dropkick Murphys, Taking Back Sunday, Mayday Parade, Bayside, State Champs, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Andrew WK, GWAR, The Bronx, Citizen, Fucked Up, Man on Man, Action/Adventure, Just Friends Slipknot, Machine Gun Kelly, Devo, New Found Glory, Simple Plan, The Ghost Inside, Body Count, Thursday, K.Flay, 3OH!3, Fever 333, Kennyhoopla, Ratboys, The Weak Days If I can go Thursday, then I'd watch Alkaline Trio, Patti Smith, and Joyce Manor, as well as try and compete in that singing competition.
