Maaaaaan I am hyper. Gotta switch our flights tomorrow so hope BA don’t fuck us. MCR, Pumpkins, PUP, RTJ, AAR, Coheed, Fever 333 and more. Pretty hyped.
I dont think the thursday pre-party will be a full day. The verbage on the website says "an extra night of riot fest..." Im betting on it being like a 5-10 sort of thing with only a hand ful of bands. (any bonus time in the park is perfect by me) So stoked on all of this, so many must sees already (the whole top line got me verklempt). excited i get to see Pumpkin, fever 333, and saves the day all for the first time, finally!
finding more verbiage about thursday, looks like a few bands may play twice! "Those who already have a ticket to Riot Fest 2020, or anyone who buys a ticket in the next 30 days, will gain admission to a special Thursday Preview Party on September 16, 2021. Enjoy special mystery sets from to-be-announced bands (including one exclusive to Thursday!), get first dibs on merch, and ride all the carnival rides you never had the time for before.
I hope they do Hellzapoppin that Thursday cus I always want to do that but never got the chance - sounds like this would be a good opportunity for it
Who are y’all hoping for in the second and final wave? I know she was set to play Pitchfork but I hope they get Phoebe Bridgers to play. That would be super cool.
Wow what a lovely surprise Its been a while since I've said this but great great lineup. I might be making my long awaited return (2012). Huge headliners... one in a band like smashing pumpkins that I'd love to see live. Great midcard. Great lowcard and more to come. Give me a giant wave of "punk" in the next 2 waves and I'm 100% in
Knuckle Puck will be on this too I assume, both Simple Plan & New Found Glory are already announced & KP was supporting their tour
I am hoping for Dance Gavin Dance, Angels & Airwaves, Alkaline Trio, The Suicide Machines, The Academy Is..., Gatsbys American Dream, and You, Me, and Everyone We Know. A few long shots in there, but you never know.
Most of my wishlist is already in wave 1, but add ghost, every time I die, and screaming females and I’m beyond happy
I think so. Unless Pitchfork nabs them for next year their billing would be a lot better at Riot than Lolla.
I never really thought I'd see Toots & The Maytals, but this rules. Toots will be 78 at Riot Fest, holy shit
anyways just requested a refund for our LA MCR tickets and just bought two VIP passes (need that sweet sweet VIP bathroom haha)
The Used. I would love to see the main stage for saturday being something like: MCR - TBS - Thrice - The Used - Thursday Also as someone said Knuckle Puck for their Simple Plan tour, and following this Hawthorne Heights and Chon for their tours with Bayside and Coheed & Cambria respectively
The Bayside tour was cancelled so I don't think Hawthorne Heights is still with them. Would be cool if they were on the lineup though.
You guys... I have exciting news... I’M GOING TO RIOT FEST I sent my gf the lineup today and she said “well, should we go?” Next thing I know she bought tickets and we’re making plans to go with one of her best friends. I’m so excited!
