Riot Fest 2021 (September 17-19, Chicago IL) Tour • Page 291

Nothing really would've changed my plans but that sucks for those who were looking forward to them.

 

Shit, Mr. Bungle was one of only like three acts I wanted to see on Sunday. Now I'm down to Devo, the Flaming Lips, and maybe Body Count. Not really interested in Anthrax or the big pop punk acts. Anyone got suggestions? If not, gonna be a very lazy day lol

 

Im happy with that, now I can see The Bronx and Citizen

 

No more Bronx and Ciz overlap hallelujah!!!

 

I get why they did it, but damn now Rancid and Fucked Up are at the same time. Had a conflict with Rancid last time they played and was getting excited that I didn't have a major conflict with them this year. But no way I'm missing Fucked Up.

 

Seems like nothing much changes for me unless the schedule fucks me up...
Is it only Saturday that's seen set times change because of this?
Also why make changes if the replacements are plugged into the same set times for Sat/Sun?

 

I’m pumped for Rise Against as an add. Upgrade for me.

 

I’d guess they had a drop dead date of Friday for the schedule, had been told this could be happening with FNM but didn’t get a final confirmation until after the schedule went out

 

The Weak Days and K.Flay!

 

Depending on your taste, but I'd suggest checking out K.Flay and BlackStarKids if you're into hip-hop at all (neither are straight hip-hop, but I'm too lazy to try describing them haha). KennyHoopla is pretty cool too and kinda sounds like what people think that Machine Gun Kelly album sounds like.

Bleached is great too!

I'm also really into Airstream Futures who are a more straight-forward, melodic punk band. Singer has some killer pipes and they have a darker vibe a la Alkaline Trio (but without the vampire bats and shit).

 

Ratboys are the best band everyone go see them on Sunday

 

That sounds like it's right up my alley. Sunday's pretty light on "straight-forward, melodic punk", so I will definitely check them out.

Thanks for the suggestions!

 

If that's your vibe, I would check out them and Bleached.

Ratboys and the Weak Days are both good if you're into the whole new school emo vibe or whatever, but I didn't get the sense you'd be into that. Haha. If you are, though? Solid stuff!

 

Weather looking pretty solid, albeit a bit toasty. Weather dude mentioned that rain for Friday is looking less and less likely, so hopefully that holds up.

 

I'll definitely give all the suggestions a listen on Spotify today, but yeah I'm generally not into modern emo. More in to the skate/melodic hardcore/post-hardcore side of things usually.

 

Fuck, it’s Pitchfork all over again.

Who had Lolla being the best weather weekend of all the festival weekends?

 

anyone else find it a bit odd that sunday they are closing the rebel stage with only a 30 minute set? also are The weak Days the lowest band ever on a poster to headline a stage? lol my guess is no one wanted to go up against NIN

 

Yeahhhhh I was on the fence about Sunday anyway, and if it's gonna be over 90 , I think I'll make that a beach/recovery day.

 

Thursday, Fever333, Ghost Inside, The Bled all might fall into that a tiny bit

 

lol now that you mention it, it does seem rather strange.

 

The schedule definitely got worse for me.

 

Did they update the schedule? I'm still seeing the old one

 

New one:

NFG's playing their s/t on the 17th in FL hmm

I guess if they were thinking to do something similar at the festival they would have just said so in the post though haha

 

Rise against is playing about the same amount of time they played at the end of august when they were here so…
