Didnt knew Hot Mulligan recorder their show at Riot. Cool to see a proshot performance from the festival
They're always great, but this was one of my favorite sets I've seen from them, I'm so glad there's a really high quality recording of it
were they selling those inflatable chair things people were using or did a lot of people just have the same idea
Honestly, they spend so much time opening and/or co-headlining with other acts its hard to tell what the actual draw is. And to that end, it would depend on who they were paired up with. I doubt they would close a stage, but they would likely be direct support for whatever stage they were on.
Unless that band has had a significant shift in attitude since their initial run (and they may have!), I feel like Riot is something they would unequivocally say "no" to. I haven't kept up, but I recall them being pretty all-in on trashing all things "mainstream" and "normie" or whatever we might have called those things back in 2003. Of all the major festivals, the only one I could see snagging them would be Psycho Vegas.
Yeah, I'm reading this as them re-assessing the location. I'm not convinced that they'll actually wind up moving... But I feel like they are likely checking out other options.
Nothing hugely substantive. Somebody said a friend told them they saw somebody measuring land or something in a Riot Fest hoodie at another park... Which could be something. Or nothing. But they usually have the location and dates announced at this point. So the fact that that is still missing is all the evidence I need to assume they are, at the very least, considering it.
