I was thinking mcr as well for number 2 but they have east coast dates on their tour. Edit: They are in Boston right before blue ridge starts and plays New York Sunday of blue ridge so maybe not them
well they just announced number 3 as being Tenacious D... so that was a straight up lie and/or poor research by them
Midtown is opening a few dates on that MCR tour but didn't specify which ones (just that they are opening "select dates" in NJ, FL, TX, and CA; which isn't helpful because they hit up TX twice haha). But I'd put them as extremely likely for Riot Fest. They're doing a NJ show too. So they have shows in the northeast, southeast, and southwest... Using Riot as a midwest date would work well. (I'm also convinced they'll add a few more shows after that 12/2 New Jersey show sells out.) EDIT: The run of dates they're on is in late September. Pretty sure that'd be a lock.
Man, I really want to know who they're adding to the Boston date. Fingers crossed for the Bouncing Souls!
Maybe I am reading too much into the language of the Midtown announcement, but it saying “including” and then listing every state that has already been announced makes me think they have another show with MCR that they haven’t announced yet. You know, like a festival that MCR is playing that hasn’t released their full line up yet.
The D looking likely. ohio on the 16th, open the 17th, wisconsin on the 18th and fun fact, i was born in Cuyahoga Falls, OH
whoever does it, for your sanity.. at least wait until Lolla drops their lineup (which is probably soon)
