Riot Fest 2022 (September 16-18, Chicago IL) Festival • Page 202

it's Sparta & Gogol Bordello

 

*fart* but happy for people that like them

Also 3 day passes are sold out.

 

Gogol Bordello are active in their support for Ukraine so no surprise there. I think some of them were born over there.

 

Cool with this, have wanted to check out Sparta live and GB always puts on a really fun show. I don't get sick of "Start wearing purple" live. Though interested if they're just slotting them into the Bauhaus/Placebo spots.

 

Also, map and other stuff coming next week

 

The app coming back

 

Happy to see Sparta, but them vs Jeff Rosenstock is actually a hard choice for me.

Gogol Bordello's live show rules. I've never listened to their albums but I'm always excited to catch them at a fest if I have a little free time. Whether I see the beginning of their set depends on how close I want to get for SDRE.

 

schedule on the website shows yes they are just sliding into the open spots (sparta for placebo & gogol for bauhas), though i dont see that dj on the sunday schedule anywhere.

 

There's plenty floating on the secondary sites though.

 

People seem to be reacting well so far

 

I know it's not easy to do & that it's impossible to make everyone happy, and I don't go full on negative often...but jesus christ those replacements are extremely lackluster for who dropped

 

Yeah, that works so great when there is ZERO RECEPTION at RF lol

 

TBH it's a huge downgrade from 2 bands who haven't performed for years in the states (up until 2022).

 

SDRE & Gogol need to be switched IMO

 

Oh I completely agree. I'm just here to watch the reactions

 

nice to see they finally put 2 day passes on sale. dont know if they had them last year or not

 

Don't think I needed an internet connection for it at the actual festival. Was just nice to have the map/schedule/info all in once place haha

 

They've had 2 day tickets since everything went on sale a few months ago

 

i haven't paid any attention since ive had 3 day passes for this year since may of last year

 

I've had a pair since 2019 lol!

 

Fuckin lame lol

 

Sparta's a cool addition, but it won't change my day at all. Still gonna watch the first half of Jeff, then a bunch of RFTC before the Descendents.

Gogol Bordello is a massive upgrade for my Saturday evening, but understand why a certain number of Bauhaus fans are going to be pretty upset.

 

maybe this is just a joke

 

gogol fits squarely in the Coheed/rise against camp where they are a great band, great live show, always fun.., but their frequency of appearance has taken away from the impact as an add
