Riot Fest 2021 (September 17-19, Chicago IL) Tour • Page 303

Yeah I just saw set list fm updated

 

Yesterday was my seventh time seeing Motion City Soundtrack, but I just realized that it was my first time seeing them with Tony on drums. I looked back at the news articles and my first MCS show was the day after they announced he was leaving the band.

 

FYI the rain didn’t create any mud yesterday, no need to worry about it today.

 

Yeah, it's been so dry the past few weeks that I'm not worried about mud at all.

 

What's the cash/credit situation like?

 

I've paid cash for everything so far, but most places (besides some of the bars) seem to be cash or credit.

 

Ok, might need to grab some extra cash then. Was hoping they'd be like Pitchfork and encourage cards over anything else.

 

Did Billy not play a guitar or is he just not in those pics above?

 

Fuck they played quiet?!

 

First time since 94

 

I feel like a lot of people are going to go to the Radical Stage at the wrong time today with the beer can schedule still having the old times. I still wish they wouldn’t have changed the times for that stage. I just saw Rise Against, so I didn’t need to see them again. Would much rather not have to choose between missing some of those bands or missing bands on Rebel.

 

Only for a couple of the new songs plus Eye did he not have a guitar

 

Alright - if you see someone in a green Carhartt hat, Midwest Sad shirt, camo shorts, heavily tattooed legs, and a green sling bag - that's me.

That Phonbex4 shirt is like wearing a tunic. Looks like I'm walking around without shorts on today.

 

TBS just posted this schedule. Did Fucked Up have to drop?

 

Rise is on roots but they changed all the radical stage set times. Don’t know why they changed them. Maybe they didn’t want rancid playing the entire time rise was playing.

 

If they did they haven’t said anything yet. this is from 3 days ago

 

Also I’m up way to fucking early. Woke up at 745 for absolutely no reason

 

Ended up buying a bucket hat and let me tell y’all an absolute life saver holy shit.

Pumpkins were phenomenal and that little bit of drizzle was a god send.

Todays my big one so catch me at Big Freedia FYS Best Coast Gogol Bordello Vic Mensa and RTJ.

 

They're still on the RF schedule so who knows.

 

According to a post on Reddit, Damian from Fucked Up's Instagram post is saying they will not make it tonight

 

No problem. So what did you end up taking and how was it better than what you usually do?

 

Just means that Rancid crowd is going to be even bigger.

 

Parked at 54th/Cermak and took the Pink Line to Kedzie. With a little train timing luck I could probably get to/from the fest in under an hour. The only problem was finding the parking lot the first time since it’s basically in an unmarked alley by the tracks. Not sure I ever would have found it without satellite view in Maps.

The past couple years I’ve driven to the Forest Park Blue Line station, taken that to Medical District, then walked to the Polk Pink Line station. Doing that in reverse after a full day at the fest was brutal.

 

Well, now that makes it a little easier to pick between Rise Against, Rancid and Mayday Parade

 

Happy to hear! And yeah, finding the parking lot for the first time was a huge pain.
