Riot Fest 2021 (September 17-19, Chicago IL) Tour • Page 309

I’m sorry what

 

I cannot take that much time off work and am dead from RF and my weekend more generally. Otherwise I would 100% try

 

Yeah, if I had taken today off work (which I should after every festival but never actually do) then I might have headed over there.

 

Holy shit, I’m not really in to Metallica but that seems like an unbelievable opportunity.

Also, if a band as big as Metallica can play a $20 club show, Fugazi could totally pull off some $20 club shows Riot Fest weekend one of these years.

 

I got here like 11.30. Im like the 300 person in line

 

Shouldn’t be Covid yet but better off safe.

 

That’s 800 or so more people to go!

 

If I didn’t have meetings I’d definitely be waiting in line. I’m not a Metallica fan so I’d be a wasted wristband that could go to someone more into them.

 

I’m tempted to wait in line but it’s probably too late now

 

Excuse me WHAT

 

If you get in line now you *might* have a chance from what I’m hearing, but get there quick.

 

They start selling at 1pm. The line gets around the block now

 

I guess this is why MGK was dissing Slipknot

 

Capacity is 600 for this show I heard.

 

People are saying that in line, but not sure if its 100% confirmed

 

Realistically I could have made it over by 11:30, but no chance in hell could I have waited this long for tix on a work day

 

What an incredible opportunity. Very cool to see that the big anniversary for Metallica has been accompanied with so much of this kind of thing and not just the usual schlocky cookie cutter big-media operation.

 

I think seeing Metallica at metro might top when I saw foo fighters there. But I’m not going and I’m way to tired and sore today is a recovery day where I don’t do shit

 

Metallica - Metro Chicago

It's official

 

Got my wristband!

 

I have two friends that scored wristbands, that is so fucking cool.

 

My friend is working the show tonight. Just saw photos from load-in.

 

Not even a Metallica fan but this is crazy and I’m so happy for everyone who is able to get in.

 

We had a very similar Sunday. I got there early for the gories, who were stellar, then didn’t have anything til my big trio of bled/Fever/Thursday(again, everyone crushed it). So in that time I caught facs, health, and black star kids who were all reallllly good. I bet facs is amazing in a small dark club.

Got in the Devo pit for my only pit of the weekend,lol, ate food watching TGI but was so hooked I went up in for the last 2 songs. I also left after duality since I peeked at setlist.fm and saw neither of the encore songs were anything I knew to well.

everybody brought it, don’t think I saw a disappointing set the entire weekend, all expectations met or passed!
