Riot Fest 2025 Tour • Page 74

Yeah, I'd consider him a headliner, his crowd's going to be not much smaller than Blink's which is why I'm opting for Knocked Loose.

 

I can’t wait until Blink starts this tour so I can see what they are playing. A Kerang article when the tour got announced said the press release mentioned this tour would lean into their punk roots. I didn’t take much stock in that at the time of course. But with Travis’s tech saying they are putting together a setlist with some songs they haven’t played in a long time, my hopes are starting to get up. At least we have plenty of shows before Riot to know whether I should be extra excited or not though!

 

My fear is that Blink omits those deep cuts for their festival shows and stick to a greatest hits show.

But I'll lose my mind if they finally play a song off Dude Ranch that isn't Dammit.

 

Almost all of the festivals they are playing on this tour have a punk lineup, so hopefully they will keep the same set. I assume it is probably only a few songs switched out anyway.

 

They played 24 songs last year at lolla. The tour set was 26 songs

 

so they are in fact going to make a meal out of this, haha

John Stamos Breaks His Silence on Riot Fest. Will He Or Won’t He?

 

Jesse & The Rippers at the Metro on Friday confirmed

 

I'm assuming it'll be packed in a similar way to NOFX last year, MGK in 2021, and Incubus for 2019. But I'd imagine not everyone will stay for the entire set. I'm guessing you see a lot of people dipping in and out because of everything else going on.

My plan is to watch the first bit of Trio, catch about 30 minutes of Al, and then pop over for the last half of Stiff Little Fingers. This is definitely an evening where that Deluxe VIP viewing area is going to come in super handy.

Some of that depends on what the band is opting to consider their "punk roots." Supposedly the WWYF set list will skew heavily toward Enema, TOYP&J, and S/T. There's a very real scenario where they're talking about cuts from Enema or TOYP&J which... Doesn't hold water for me. But it's also not inaccurate to your average fan, y'know?

Excited to see the set list, though! And I'd imagine Four Chord might be a good representation of what we wind up getting.

I guess I'll just not-so-secretly hope we can get "Pathetic" or "Josie" at a minimum. Haha. I'd say "Apple Shampoo" or "Lemmings" but I don't want to push it.

If they actually do all of that shit... Their social media is gonna be real fun leading up to the festival.

 

With no barricade.

 

John Stamos comes out as "the Vulture" for the encore. IYKYK.

 

Turns out there was a misunderstanding and they got Richard Stamos instead

 

‘Begrudgingly agreed’: John Stamos agrees to join Riot Fest lineup after years of begging, but with a few conditions
