Riot Fest 2025 Tour • Page 61

only time ive seen JER perform at anything riot related was as part of the horn section for jeff rosenstock's Ska Dream after show.

 

I think JER played with Pet Symmetry during their set one year but I was properly toasted at that point and may be wrong

 

As per the latest Riot Fest email... Ticket prices jumping up on Monday.

 

I wonder if that means it’s selling well or they have something else to announce.

 

It's probably just selling well. I really don't think they have anything big enough left to announce that would warrant a price jump.

 

Interesting that the ADTR/YC tour is routed perfectly through Riot Fest with no Chicago date considering that YC was on that official playlist for a minute. Really curious if something just fell through last minute with negotiations or something like that.

 

Yeah I’m guessing something happened behind the scenes to where they had to drop off or something just didn’t work out. I wonder if ADTR were in talks to play too?

Reminds me of the Tenacious D letdown of 2022 lol

 

I'm having a hard time seeing where they would have slotted both Yellowcard and A Day To Remember on this poster but... I could very easily see Yellowcard in that All Time Slow slot on Saturday.

I always find it so interesting with stuff like that with who got super close to being booked but had to pull out and why, who took their place, etc.

I remember the ad mat leaked the day before in like, 2014, and Good Charlotte was on it. Then they were gone the next day when the line-up dropped.

 

I also remember there being a version of the 2016 Denver poster that stated Devo was playing as part of a “final tour.” Also wonder what happened considering Devo is still touring and going strong lol

 

They have the day off before they play in Indy which is the day before riot. Could be a pre show

 

Yeah my conspiracy theory is they’re gonna get added for Saturday and that’s gonna be the justification for the price increase. Also lines up with the riot fest thing that said “over 90 bands” and the playlist that had Yellowcard on it

 

The price increase tends to happen whenever tickets are selling well. I don't know that they've ever jumped up with any sort of line-up addition...

We're super close to 90 bands already and adding a couple local acts like they've been doing would readily push it over. I'm sticking with "it just didn't work out."

EDIT: Also noting that, based on rumblings in the Tour Spec thread, that the Yellowcard tour was originally meant to be a headliner. So shifting to a support slot might have changed things as well.

 

Yeah I'm sure its just a case of things not working out, but damn would I LOVE if they ended up getting added.

 

Yeah it would’ve been cool for them to play at the start of the new album cycle since Riot is essentially was kickstarted then as a band again

 

Al Jourgensen confirmed Ministry will be embarking on their final tour next year and it will start “next September.” I wonder if Riot will try to get them one last time

Ministry's Al Jourgensen announces the end of his iconic, industrial band. But first, one last album and tour

 

I’m surprised they weren’t booked this year, but I can definitely see them closing a smaller stage. Or playing early evening on one of the main stages, especially if NIN comes back.
