apparently the Boston dates are their only US headline shows this year so… I think that ramps up the odds of Rancid at Riot even more! Makes me feel more hopeful for some Doom Regulator too!
if the Foo Fighters are playing Riot, it does make me pretty confident in the Breeders' Last Splash play since they are opening dates for Foo this year (including around Riot)
It looks like the Queens of the Stone Age will be making some kind of announcement this week because they posted “It’s our special week!” I’m going to take that to mean that the auction info was legit and the lineup is coming this week.
Foo Fighters & QOTSA being headliners makes me much more confident that I'll be skipping this year, it's gonna have to be an insane middle & undercard for me to travel
Qotsa have a single coming out on the 11th thats on the new album they are dropping. That could also be the news
With not having seen Foo Fighters since 2011 (And finally had tickets to the summer tour last year before Taylor's passing) I could not be more ecstatic if they are actually playing Riot.
LS Dunes announced a tour with no Chicago date. I remember an interview where Anthony said they were finding a way to to play Riot again next year. So maybe? Coheed has an open day between Wisconsin and Michigan during Riot weekend so Travis could make a quick stop for it
Figured they had a date. Was mostly just messing. But would love both of those and maybe LS Dunes again.
This makes me like Foo Fighters being a Riot Fest less. They’re at almost every major fest this year.
Between artists already playing Chicago this summer and those that wouldn't fit the vibe, there's not much overlap I could see here aside from the Foos, Tegan and Sara, Death Grips and Mars Volta?
Ah gotcha! Haha With Thursday playing War All The Time at some festivals during September/October and with Saosin playing Translating the Name with no Chicago date. I have high hopes for both
