From an Alternative Press article: Anthony Green (vocals/Circa Survive): I've never had a bad experience here, so yeah, we’re finding a way to play next year. I think Taking Back Sunday does it every year, so we can too. 32 bands on their best Riot Fest memories—gallery
Anthony could just play with a different band every year and it'll never get old since he's in so many different things.
Speaking of, Im surprised there wasnt a set of Fuckin Whatever in 2021 nor 2022 considering both Anthony and TBS played
Interesting to see so many bands announcing 2023 tours this far in advance. We can already rule out Arctic Monkeys and Depeche Mode.
I can finally put an end to this will they/won’t they torrid affair with rage. Can’t wait to get my $145 back from.. checks notes… feb 2020. Haha.
Kind of off topic, but Rise Against is playing Lollapalooza in Argentina and Chile. I wonder if they will play the Chicago edition too.
I'd imagine they'll be playing Lolla though since they're doing a few of the other ones. The UC show(s?) is cutting close to the 90 day mark but I think they'll make it work. And dare I also say... an after show at The Metro seems pretty likely as well.
Green Day and Blink are apparently headlining WWWY next year. Blink is obviously out, but would this potentially put Green Day in play?
Green Day is definitely a consideration. But, since I'm not the biggest fan, I think it'd be really cool if they got The Network next year. Then have Green Day headline 2024.
Lots of artists on the WWWY 2023 lineup that I hope do Riot Fest too, but the big ones for me would be Something Corporate, Good Charlotte, and Michelle Branch. Gym Class Heroes and Finch would be fun too but I don't know their stuff super well.
they must be confident that this years wont be a total shit show to be already announcing next years. i still think the sets are too crammed and not enough time/stages, ill wait to hear how this years goes before i consider trying it out. but would love finch, gym class heros, offsprings, and the movielife
I’m sure they will use a rotating stage for the 2 main stages plus the only bands that are getting “full sets” are the headliners
Yeah I enjoy next year’s lineup much more than this year’s tbh. Was gonna make it a goal to finally make Riot next year, but this is making it really easy to get off track lol
