How exactly did you do that?!! I may need to mess around with it later. The text on that looks great and most of those festival name generators come out super janky. On a related note: How nice would it be if Riot Fest released a "festival line-up generator" thing like this? It's fun to do in general, but it always irks me that it's in the Coachella layout. Haha.
I went to this site Festival Poster Generator. I think it works great. You can customize the background, so you might be able to pull off a Riot Fest-themed prediction poster.
My wishlist off the top of my head (in no particular order and with no regard for likelihood): Headliner: Dead Kennedys w/ Jello Rage Against the Machine Red Hot Chili Peppers Green Day Fiona Apple Fugazi Upper/Mid: Oingo Boingo Primus Bad Religion Mr. Bungle Propagandhi Jeff Rosenstock FLAG Me First and the Gimme Gimmes The Offspring King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard The Menzingers FIDLAR Violent Femmes (gotta make up for the awful sound during their 2019 set) Daughters Goldfinger The Vandals The Suicide Machines Cake Mid/Lower MDC Ezra Furman Drug Church Laura Jane Grace and the Devouring Mothers PEARS The Bouncing Souls Avail Less Than Jake The Living End Desaparecidos Pkew Pkew Pkew Off With Their Heads AJJ Two Gallants John Congleton and the Nighty Nite Fucked Up PUP Against Me! The Mountain Goats The Briggs Bad Cop, Bad Cop The Bombpops Leftover Crack Parquet Courts Tera Melos
I guess I’ll do a wishlist/prediction list too! Why not! Headliners The Cure Tool Pavement reunion Nine Inch Nails Operation Ivy reunion The Strokes Second Tier/Subheadliners My Bloody Valentine Modest Mouse (Lonesome Crowded West set) The Shins Either Gallagher Brother Faith No More Alice In Chains Pixies Cake Weird Al Others Rx Bandits Mike Doughty (Soul Coughing set) Grandaddy Murder City Devils Pup Weakerthans reunion Converge (Jane Doe set) The Promise Ring Braid Hum (You’d Prefer An Astronaut set) Aesop Rock Superchunk Archers Of Loaf They Might Be Giants Dinosaur Jr ALL Melvins Helmet (Meantime set) Nada Surf (Let Go set) Soccer Mommy Snail Mail Jawbox
Give me The Used and Creeper playing the same stage as MCR! I can totally see MCR - TBS - The Used - Creeper on the main stage Also, All-American Rejects, was so excited to see them before their cancellation
MCR sold it alone for me. I do hope the days have a few bands I like tossed in tho. This will be my first real festival of a big size and actually traveling out for it! Years of reading these threads got me super pumped.
i'm seeing MCR in Newark in 2022 like a week after this festival so, iiiidk if it'll happen for me. we just did 3 days at firefly and that was expensive enough all in and we drove to it. factoring in flights and airBBs/hotels, yeeesh.
that Friday would be one of the craziest Riot days ever for me, saturday i could rest but still see amazing stuff, but right back to a wild sunday! so yes please!
No Devotion hasn't played before, right? They've already announced one festival for next year and I'd love to finally see them.
What I find interesting about Riot Fest is that there's inevitably 2-3 decent sized reunions/"doesn't tour very often" acts that will pop up. Ones that nobody is even thinking of really... Until it actually happens. Then people are stoked. Devo is a great example from this year. Sure, there's people who always want them. But nobody really thought/knew it was going to happen until it was announced they'd be at PRB. And then there's the low-key reunions that are special to a select few (Bollweevils this year; Cobra Skulls in 2018). Fake Problems would be perfect for that in 2022 with a late afternoon set on Rebel. Hopefully on a day that also has the Menzingers, PUP, Jeff Rosenstock and a few of their other friends who have gotten significantly bigger since they broke-up. Haha.
Mark Hoppus is cancer free!!! I hope this means he’s healthy to play shows again soon, and that Blink could be in play to perform next year
