Riot Fest 2023 Tour • Page 115

too bad she’s truly awful live.

 

Overlaps will be painful this year. I like 85% of the lineup or so

 

Same here. I left early last time The Cure played and I've been regretting it since then.

 

I went to see Weezer and I have also regretted it since (not against Weezer, just have seen Weezer many times since then and yet to see the Cure)

 

To be fair, that year was fucking brutal.

 

Yep, between the downpour on Friday and the Mineral after show on Saturday, I was pretty beat by the time they started. But it was the year I lived a mile from Humboldt so I did hear The Cure almost my entire walk home, which was nice.

 

Its a good lineup. I'm not super into the headliners but its an all around fun sounding festival.

 

Anyone else hyped for Kim Gordon to play?

 

So who's missing from original speculation?

Gwar (weird)
Taking Back Sunday (less weird, but still weird)
Streetlight Manifesto
Goldfinger
Aqua
Scene Queen

 

Interesting....the RF site lists Danzig as playing even though he's not on the lineup poster

 

Poppy, American Rejects, Starting Line

 

Yes!! I've been a Sonic Youth fan since I was 13, very pumped!

 

Honestly love this year is a year where I'd be cool with leaving after 30 minutes of every headliner too. I'm seeing that Cure tour in June, so no issues there, and I'm good with just a little Postal Service and Foo Fighters.

 

There is one band I was hoping to see on here that I won't mention because y'all will make fun of me

It's Pierce the Veil

 

MUST SEE
Turnstile
Death Cab for Cutie
Code Orange

REALLY WANT TO SEE
Foo Fighters
Death Grips
PUP
Insane Clown Posse
Enter Shikari

Everything else is just a cherry on top.

 

Priority
Postal Service
The Cure
Sleep Token
Finch
George Clinton
B&C

everything else is bonus/can be decided when schedules drop

 

She was great at Primavera Sound LA last year. Def check her out

 

Snapcase?!?!? That’s a bad ass rare reunion show.

 

Absolute must-sees for me: Dresden Dolls, Turnstile, Pool Kids, The Gaslight Anthem.

Stoked on and will see: Postal Service, Tegan and Sara, Say Anything, The Used, Finch, PUP, Hawthorne Heights, Ani Difranco, AFI, Origami Angel.

Have seen them before, would love to watch again but not a priority: Frank Turner, Bayside, Thursday (unless they do a non-FC album play), Bowling for Soup, Free Throw, Oso Oso.

Will make special effort to see them because I would never pay to see them on tour: ICP, 100 Gecs, Corey Feldman, Death Grips, Parliament.

Can this start tomorrow?

 

So much OG hardcore on this too, makes me wonder if that's going to be the theming for the main stage on Friday before Turnstile (H2O, Gorilla Biscuits, Snapcase, Earth Crisis, etc)

 

Finch in Chicago again but skipping TX is super sad.

 

I have a feeling that a lot of the shoegazey-type bands will play the day The Cure headlines (Ride, Nothing, etc.)

 

And all the 90s indie/grunge/whatever (Ani Difranco, Kim Deal, The Breeders, etc) will play the same say as the Foos.

 

Looks like Ride is doing Going Blank Again at another fest in Sept, so that's probably going to be one of the full album plays. Do we know any others for sure besides Death Cab/Postal Service? I know Finch/Spitalfield are both doing (or already did) their debuts in Chicago at other shows this year, but I suppose there's a chance they do it again for Riot too.

 

It's gone
