Riot Fest 2024 Tour • Page 27

I think I say this every year, but it’s still crazy to me that The Offspring haven’t played since 2014

 

According to slayers website they are playing Sunday

 

In today's email

"We’ve got more headliners, many more bands, reunions, album plays, aftershows"

 

That Slayer undercard could be amazing. Hopefully we get the Power Trip reunion.

 

Riot Fest 2014 it was the first time they did album plays. It would be cool if they have some of those original bands to do album plays again, as in Slayer playing Reign In Blood. Otherwise it is a dissapointing headliner/reunion for me.

 

You say this every year, though.

 

Power Trip and The Dillinger Escape Plan both playing the same day as Slayer would be cool

 

I have to be eventually right... plus it seems they are doing every other rock festival this year

 

Mineral again, please.

 

I know people will say it’s too soon since they last played and I actually would agree since they’re a headlining act but I honestly don’t know what headline level “rock” (and all its subgenre) acts are available this year. Fall Out Boy is definitely a great guess and it’s been what? A decade since they last played? But aside from them the only other active band is Green Day and I don’t think it’s their year…although you never know.

Aside from FOB and Green Day I feel like you either get into the too big territory with RHCP or Metallica, the not quite the right fit for Riot Fest territory with The Killers or Vampire Weekend (who would be out anyways this year, but using them as an example), or bands that would be headliners but are broken up territory.

The Strokes are playing the UIC Pavilion in March but maybe they come back six months later? They’re the only other active rock band that would fit and hasn’t ever played the festival.

 

personally my fingers are crossed for a Muse booking, but i think FOB/weezer is more likley

 

I forgot about Muse haha. I've only ever listened to some of their old stuff but they'd probably fit more at Riot Fest in 2024 than at like, Lollapalooza haha.

 

I’m still convinced RHCP could do Riot

 

Fuck it.. here's my way too early mock - any changes suggestions would be fine - I've saved the list in note pad

(made some changes, thanks real Mike)

Maybe I'll do one more after the other festivals in Chicago announce their lineups

 

bonkers level good for my tastes. only initial notes is you have catbite on there twice (fri and sat) and i while i would welcome it, i dont see DEP and better lovers on the same day, maybe not even same weekend. (i would pick BL but i know more people would be hype for dep)

edit i think the ergs are on twice also

 

Riot fest not considering Louisville part of the Midwest is very funny and on brand considering their email also says “stay tuned for our full lineup announcement this spring” (we all know it’ll be late May)

 

Thank god, I can leave early!

 

Muse would guarantee that I do not go that day.

 

From LTL undercard I’m hoping for:

- Local H
- Militarie Gun
- Narrow Head
- Drug Church
- Better Lovers
- The Armed
- The Chisel
- touché

 

Add Helmet too and it’d be a great time

 

Did you like the mock sam.. wanted to make sure Ween was there for you.

 

Oh yes I did. A Chocolate & Cheese set would be great

 

soco is a lock.

also id like the warning off of the LTL lineup

 

if dropkick plays it will be a normal set. they are done with the acoustic stuff for now.

 

Yeah, I'll fix it - did you like it otherwise?
