Riot Fest 2024 Tour • Page 12

He was supposed to played Shaky Knees last year, but cancelled late - he was billed second behind Green Day

 

Not bad at all... But like a lot of those festivals there's a steeeep drop-off for me after the first 2-3 lines each day.

 

I thought Win basically admitted to being a manipulative abuser and then it was completely dropped but I could be misinterpreting his statement.

 

Idles is out, playing The Riviera Theatre on September 18th

2nd time they play Chicago same week as Riot

 

Watch it be a Riot Fest Presents

also are we sure Riot is the same weekend this year - probably will be but aren't a bunch of music festivals in Chicago moving different weekends for next year

 

I don't think dates have been announced yet, but I may have missed it..

Can't speak to the Chicago festival dates but I know there was discussion about Supernova and at least one of the bigger active rock/Wimmer festivals pushing out a weekend.

 

Random thought: Would RHCP be a possibility for a headliner? Or would they be considered a “too big act?”

I just recalled they’re playing Innings Fest in AZ next year, which is one of those “low-key fests with pretty big headliners” festivals similar to Ohana or Sea.Hear.Now.

They headlined Chicago in 2022, did Lolla this year, so maybe there would be room for them to do Riot next year?

Thinking about it more, I feel like it would make sense and could work. RHCP would be an attractive headliner where big fans of the band would cop a single day ticket for them, but more casual fans would pass and wait for the next time around. The average Riot attendee would probably wanna skip them too… haha

Probably way off, but just a thought

 

Yes, but I don't think they will be next year - then again, I was pretty sure we were getting Green Day next year lol

 

with the exception of Metallica... and maybe pearl jam & radiohead? i dont think any alternative rock band is too big anymore

 

Foo Fighters playing this year really changed the game

 

RHCP would be sick

 

I wish I could see how much they pay all the bands

 

RHCP is the ultimate "watch three songs and go home early" festival headliner for me.

 

Hard disagree.

 

Was once easy to find booking rates. Probably still isn’t hard.

 

Fully expect to be one of - if not the only one who thinks that lol

I don't think they'd play though

 

Idles being out isn’t a huge loss to me. Seen them before, underwhelmed.

 

This is not specifically Riot related but Joyce Manor will be here on NYE at Thalia Hall

 

I sent that to my wife and she instantly shot it down haha

 

i dont blame her. i hate nye shows, i would be there on basically any other night.

 

oh no doubt, getting back from Thalia would be horrific

 

No Chicago dates on RHCP's summer tour - but I still doubt they play NEXT year - esp. after playing Lolla this year - it's only 15 dates or so and misses a lot of markets

 

Ha, I was going to say that the dates line up well for Lolla but that literally happened last year

 

No Chicago
