Riot Fest 2025 Tour • Page 30

why the hell would blink take less? lol

 

Working relationship with riot fest plus it’s the 20 year anniversary. Not like blink are hurting for money.

 

They have a "working relationship" with the entire industry, and their rate is their rate. They are not taking less so their rival band – friendly, but still rivals, in Mark's book – can also play. They might both play, but blink will not be taking a discount to make it happen.

 

I don’t either need to take a discount to make it happen. They had The Cure and Foo Fighters in 2023 and I would put some money on them being pretty close to the same price as Blink and Green Day would be.

 

Are we all also forgetting they got MCR on their first reunion tour, Misfits playing Walk Among Us, and NIN in the same year?

Riot Fest can afford any headliner(s) they want. If they wanted Blink & Green Day in the same year, they could do it. And if they couldn’t do it, they’d raise ticket prices. Or get rid of the small stage and have fewer artists at the bottom of the bill. Or spend less money on carnival rides and butter statues and fake buildings.

The one thing they wouldn’t do is let money get in the way of booking 2 massive headliners who are willing to play

 

this is exactly it. Green Day and blink play all sorts of mid tier festivals that aren’t as big as riot. There’s sometimes a reason things don’t work out and that’s why I’m assuming Green Day hasn’t played yet.
