Riot Fest 2022 (September 16-18, Chicago IL) Festival • Page 191

Just to push further the NIN setup theory: Primavera LA posted their schedule and NIN finish their set at 10.15pm, which will be 12.15am in Chicago. Adding the tearing down and unloading time, traveling to LAX and the 4 hour flight to Chicago... I really wonder what time NIN crew will be arriving to Douglass.

 

Wait Primavera posted the schedule already? Damn. I’m going just for NIN and had no idea haha

 

Yeah! They posted them eariler today

 

Odd question but figured someone in here could answer - with VIP they mention 5 drink tickets for 3-day pass holders. I imagine this means 5 for the entire weekend and not 5 per day, right? I feel @alkalinexandy would know this answer haha

 

its 5 for the entire weekend.

 

BAUHAUS CANCELS REMAINING TOUR DATES IN NORTH AMERICA

AUGUST 31, 2022 (New York. NY) --It is with the utmost regret that the Bauhaus performances in North America have been canceled for the remainder of the year.

Following a string of critically-hailed reunion shows across continents, Peter Murphy will be entering a rehabilitation facility to attend to his health and well-being.

Please contact your point of purchase regarding ticket refunds.

 

They'll fly private and have most of their gear backlined.

 

"Hey, The Flaming Lips, can you bail us out again?"

 

They were scheduled for a festival in NYC that weekend that's been postponed.. you might not be wrong

 

wellllllll shit. was looking forward to that one, but health comes first. Flaming lips sound like the easy move for riot, but if i had my drothers id be calling Mr. Patton and see if Faith no More is ready.

 

A replacement band will be announced next week

 

this made me laugh, and its a subplot thats been largely forgotten, haha

 

Rise against isn’t doing anything and as much as I don’t want them to be added I could totally see them being added again for a 2nd straight year

 

I haven't seen them live since 2009, so I'd be alright with it

 

They played last year and 2019 and have played the area a bunch over the last year. 3 times in Chicago plus 2 in Milwaukee

 

I live in the South.. I didn't go to Riot last year, I went to Riot in 2019 but didn't go the Saturday to meet a friend

 

if its not FNM, i hope its a fresh booking and not someone thats not an obvious go-to. (RA, lips, anthrax, alkaline trio playing twice..etc..)

 

All of that sounds like a "you" problem, TBH.

 

it should be Weezer. I'll accept nothing else.

 

I have a feeling it will be them depending on who they call and who could fill the 725-825 time slot that is now open

 

What about the Pixies? Similar(ish) fanbase and they were meant to play last year but cancelled... Would also fit in that time slot. And they're free that weekend.

 

tenacious D is still out there in the area too. theres actually a solid amount of possibilities to fill a 2nd stage closer position

 

Theory: Maybe that’s why they weren’t on the lineup this year despite their tour routing perfectly lining up, because Riot booked them as a replacement in case anyone dropped

 

FWIW, I recall Faith No More announcing they'd be taking time off this year for mental health reasons. Kinda doubting it'll be them who steps in.

As for Rise Against, I kinda feel like they'd be saving them as an absolute last resort. Much bigger stylistic leap between them and Bauhaus than them and Faith No More.

Definitely! Wouldn't be the best replacement in terms of draw or stylistic similarities but... Close enough, I guess? Similar to RA, though, I feel like there's other acts they might reach out to first.

Another thought: What about the MC5?

 

Only one replacement in the world that would be suitable. Bring on the Greta Van Fleet plzzzzz
