Riot Fest 2023 Tour • Page 60

I think a 311/Turnstile co-headliner needs to happen now lol

 

Would definitely be sick if Turnstile, White Reaper, The Bronx, Limp Bizkit and 311 played

 

I'm not even huge on 311 but honestly... Imagine a Radicals line-up with 311, Turnstile, Danny Brown, Fishbone, and (some younger/newer hardcore band with tight grooves a la Regulate; or some tasteful rap-rock a la Codefendants or Zebrahead; or a new-tone band a la Bad Operation or Omnigone).

I'm sure there's even more flavorful combos but I'm busy at work today and don't have time to daydream. LOL

 

I think a7x for festivals is dwp exclusive this year

 

Matt and Kim woulda been a fun get. They're out as well. Metro 10/3

 

I saw them in 2019 while waiting for Weezer and they were fun as hell. "Daylight" still slaps.

 

Yeah I think the only time I've seen them was opening for Blink/MCR and it was definitely very fun

 

Isn't Nofx a no go this year which means Codefendants a no go.. Fishbone & Bad Operation are playing Supernova, but I still wouldn't count Fishbone out

 

That wasn't a prediction/speculation so much as a "Wouldn't it be cool some year?" kinda post.

As for Codefendants, though... Yeah, they're probably out. But that's because they're playing CA on 9/16. Fat Mike co-writes, produces, and plays bass. But he's not part of their touring line-up.

 

Since someone asked

Aftershock/Riot crossovers last year: Bad Religion, Gwar, Alexisonfire, Action Bronson, MCR, Poorstacy, Carolesdaughter, Wargasm, Yungblud

If I'm not missing any, that's 9

 

Where'd you see/hear that? I can't find anything searching on google. He definitely sings on a few songs and none of their dates conflict with Nofx (except the two punkindrublic stops they are both playing)

 

It was in an Instagram post. Or maybe on the Fat Wreck/BTTG site. I forget. But Mike said pretty explicitly that he wasn't touring with them.

And FWIW, he doesn't sing on any of the tracks that have been released to date.

 

Oh well, thought I heard his voice when they sang in ensemble on the one or two songs I listened to.. wasn't that impressed so I didn't really research them plus I don't have instagram

 

If that was a side stage one day, I would go and park my ass at that stage lmao

 

So... Tool is playing shows in September. I also like the odds for Green Day

 

Once again… I think we get surprised with Foo Fighters this year

 

Foo Fighters / Green Day / Tool ain't a bad set of headliners, that's for sure.

 

I will be happy with any of those headliners except A7X

 

I wonder if Riot would go for Dethklok. Feels like something they would have done in 2014 for sure but maybe not now.

Pinkshift and SYSC would be cool for the undercard. I'd watch a little bit of You Me At Six, but I haven't loved anything they've done in the last ten years.

 

Pinkshift is almost a lock

 

Would love a lot of crossover here. Green Day, Rancid (know they played in '21, but they're a very Riot Fest band), 311, Limp Bizkit, Turnstile, a bunch on the under card.

 

I think that’s the best set of headliners Riot’s gotten, if this is the case

 

I'm still not sold on Foo Fighters being a possibility. These festivals all seem to drop way more money on headliners than Riot does.

That said, Green Day feels more possible than usual.

 

Turnstile playing again would be dope. Their 2019 set was one of the wildest pits I have seen, and now I can see them closing the 2nd main stage

 

Knowing absolutely nothing about how to book a festival, I could see how it might come down to just picking one of those two and it's a slam dunk that would be GD, all things being equal. They're a RF bucket list band imho.
