Riot Fest 2022 (September 16-18, Chicago IL) Festival • Page 55

I’m guessing Riot Fest quietly moved a ton of tickets today from people who realized it was cheaper to do a 3 day festival than it is to just see MCR on their own tour

 

100%. I would never pay those prices to see my chem in an arena setting . If I was a die hard, to me, no brainer. Riot all the way

 

Ya I'm wondering at what point I need to be worried about not having a ticket yet

 

Riot tickets will be moving quick even just on the fact that riot is their only show in one of the 4-5 biggest cities in the country. i went browsing ticketmaster to look at the prices, and damn yea, prices are wild for the solo shows. but i was even more impressed with how close they are to legit selling out when you consider the pink ones are resale.

 

Will MCR make Friday the first time you can't get a Riot ticket for dirt cheap on the day of?

 

We always get ours early because coming out of state, I'd rather not risk being able to get 2 the day of, but was it easy in 2016 when Misfits played? It was our first year going so I don't remember. Genuinely curious though

 

Yeah same, I bought my pass and booked an airbnb with about 10 months to spare haha

 

Rx Bandits are teasing a tour. They’re posting the names of a few random cities on their Instagram story without further context. The cities (so far) are Garden Grove, Phoenix, LA, San Diego, NYC, Philadelphia, and Boston. No Chicago yet. They could be a lock since they supposedly also have new music out this year

 

Oh, that'd be rad! There's definite potential for them to be a lock if the tour dates line-up.

Sidenote: They would fit in real nicely on a ska stage or on that 311 stage I had set-up earlier. They'd honestly be a perfect fit for that one.

 

am I still able to get a refund on my tickets for this? lol

 

Alexisonfire is pretty much confirmed.

 

Oh, fuck yes.

 

Incubus/Sublime with Rome/The Aquadolls tour hitting Tinley Park in August

 

This also means that the Incubus/311 tour rumors we’re false, thus 311 is now in play for Riot

 

Do we have a confirmed/pretty much confirmed list of bands we know so far?

 

I still really feel like 311 is likely. If nothing else, they're not not ruled out.

 

Alexisonfire has to be a lock in now for riot

Know this was brought up a while ago, but now it looks like this fest was cancelled. Aside from it being a bummer, I think it puts a couple more non-male artists on the radar.

 

Hoping a lot of bands from this are in play, Moneen especially.

 

That's such a bummer. Wonder why it fell through. Not seeing a lot of obvious crossover with the (probably too obvious?) exception of Liz Phair and Laura Jane Grace. But both of those would be fantastic additions to Riot's line-up.

Oh man! I'd love to get Propagandhi, the Flatliners, Moneen, the Fullblast, Good Riddance, Ignite, Living With Lions, and/or the Penske File.

What feels most likely from that crop: The Flatliners (Cavalcade album play), Moneen, Good Riddance, and Propagandhi. In order of likelihood.

 

Pearl Jam (if we were expecting them) are out. Despite having an open day the 17th, and no Chicago date, it would appear they have shows the weekend of Riot

 

Pearl Jam would be such a good headliner for Riot someday.

 

Hopefully LJG will end up playing the Anthony Green show now cus she's not listed on the thalia hall website and I assume if she wasn't playing it's because she was doing this

 

Except so many Pearl Jam fans are supremely annoying and alarmingly obsessed with them.

 

To be fair, that describes a lot of artists that have pretty involved online fan communities.
