All jokes aside, it's so weird to me that the population in that city is like 4K people. I get that most of it is offices, retail and industrial buildings but it still doesn't sound right when I think about it.
Fitz & the Tantrums are out.. Chicago area show in August, not that I ever imagined Riot booking them again
I’m telling y’all, Carly Rae Jepsen is gonna get Fitz and the Tantrums’ 2016 spot before Fitz and the Tanrums ever gets that spot again
Alice Cooper is out, tour announced and has dates each day of riot. he and joan jett are my 2 'classic rock' bucket list acts, so maybe next year
Just came in here to post this! Alice Cooper is kinda slept on as far as a potential Riot act every year, TBH.
Just realized HWM has dates Riot weekend which means they're out as are Bouncing Souls and Flatliners which is a bummer
Melvins announced a tour in June/July with no Chicago date. They played Chicago in March with Ministry, but they are repeating a couple of cities in this new tour. They have never played Riot and I think they would be a cool addition to the line-up.
every time i tell myself i'm gonna see the melvins and every time there's a conflict so i miss them. if they play riot i'll rectify this!
this may be toooo leftfield, (which could mean it may be crazy enough to work) but Ringo Starr (and his all starr band) announced a huuuge tour with no chicago date. Broken up into 2 legs, the 2nd leg starts the week after riot... Colin Hay is in the band and id love to see him perform (even if its not his stuff). edit - after googling some of the smaller cities, looks like New Buffalo, MI could be the chicago date? about an hour &15 away, but also technically 2 states over, haha
What the heck Ringo Starr playing the casino in New Buffalo (my family has a summer home near there) is wild, might have to make a trip there to see him haha Also I cannot see him playing in any way
First, Paul annonced a tour with no Chicago date, now Ringo does the same. Everything make sense now.
