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

 

Well here’s a list of songs Blink is rehearsing for their upcoming tour, if it helps anyone

GOD DAMN

 

Holly hell that list is insane!

35 songs listed and they usually do 25 songs in their sets, so some of these will probably be axed and the rest of the deep cuts will be rotated. If they play Waggy and ETILFY you may see my body levitate over the crowd.

 

Hopefully we get apple shampoo in honor of DHC playing Riot too!

Edit: I feel like there are enough deep cuts for us to get some at least. I just really hope we get one of the Dude Ranch ones! I’m definitely excited for the set now though!

 

No She's Out of Her Mind

 

Still no Adam’s Song… ugh

 

lol at rehearsing all the small things. i bet they could play it in their sleep with their feet. love seeing the deep cuts tho.

 

Only a month away now!

 

I don't know why I thought I had listened to or seen the Hold Steady before and not really liked them, so I didn't give much thought to them being on the line up, but I tossed them on last night and loved it. Will definitely be seeing them now

 

Going over the schedule again, I'm still pleasantly pleased with it... But man, that Militarie Gun/Agent Orange/H2O cluster is really fucking with me. Haha.

An older band I've never seen and passively enjoy (Agent Orange). A newer band that I l love who will likely be playing a bunch of songs live I've seen them play 2x already but the new single slaps (Militarie Gun). And an all-time favorite band I've seen 6+ times over the years without any new music/who I saw play a 30-minute set last weekend but I know I'd have a blast at regardless (H2O).

I'll probably check out the first few Agent Orange songs, bop over to the H2O stage for a bunch of songs, and then head back to Riot for the last 2-3 songs of the Militarie Gun set. It'll be a hustle but worth it maybe?

The fun thing about Riot is that no matter what I do it's probably gonna be fun.

 

This is the exact same issue I’m having. I’ll probably do the exact same thing as well. Guess we’ll have to meet up.

 

That’s a big one for me too. I’ve never seen Militarie Gun, Agent Orange is playing an album, and I like H2O the most of the three (and their last riot fest set was probably one of my all time favorite riot sets). Will probably split time between all three. But there are so many other spots that I don’t feel strongly about, so I wish those three were spread out instead. The scheduling for Saturday definitely made the day a little less exciting for me.

 

Other than that cluster, I'm actually pretty into Saturday's schedule! It helps that I don't really care about Riot/Roots at all between Superchunk and Weezer. Haha. And there's some artist overlap where I've seen one recently enough that it doesn't bug me (Dropkick, Buzzcocks).

Weirdly, one of the sets I'm most excited about for that day is Wishy. It'll be lowkey but I've been listening to them obsessively the last couple months. A nice start to the day before things ramp up with the three-way, the Cribs, Superchunk, Citizen, the Souls, and so on.
