Riot Fest 2025 Tour • Page 8

What if the trio is talking about the trinity? Gwar, Andrew WK, and TBS? Not sure, just trying to think outside the box.

 

I liked the 2023 Bamboozle hints that were like “Don’t Panic! I’ve got another Confessional. My Chemicals caused a Fall Out that turned the Day Green and one to remember”

And then it ended up being fraud, bankruptcy, and a puppet

 

I'm finally doing it next year. Going out there for my first riot. Can't wait

 

12/10. No notes. *Chef's kiss*

 

Another thought: In referencing how much they love the "Riot bands," I wonder if they're referring to reunions by bands with members who have played Riot in the past but the bands reuniting have not...

 

I think the one clue is for a band that has been a two piece, three piece, blah blah blah.

 

So in other words Op Ivy, right?

 

It's the 20th anniversary, so I hope they have something big under their sleeves

 

Think we'll get any more hints? I was fully expecting more than two... LOL

 

If they do another “indie” day again I could see Vampire Weekend headlining. They are on Boston Calling and rumored to be on Bonnaroo (out tomorrow). They did two nights at Northerly last year (with lawn open) so there’s a high demand to see them in Chicago. Also at the end of their set they did a mini covers request set which I feel would be fun at Riot, if they did like a mini covers set of rock/punk songs.

 

I've said it once, I'll say it again

LCD SOUNDSYSTEM PLEASE

 

In terms of indie headliners who could headline, it’s between those two and The Strokes (and the Killers if you call them indie) unless there are others I am blanking on.

I think having one pop punk headliner (Green Day), one indie headliner/day (especially with Pitchfork done), and one alternative (think like The Cure) or metal headliner works well, covers thee different bases.

 

I think there'll be be minimum pickup from Pitchfork's demise.

 

Bob Mould is a “maybe.” Announced a tour today with two Chicago dates April 25/26

 

Nine Inch Nails is out, they're playing United Center this year

 

Shit what.

Did you happen to catch a date?

 

Not a specific one, but someone posted about it in Tour Prediction

 

Lock/Out season comes earlier and earlier each year...

 

September 2nd supposedly

 

Yeah, just read that on the subreddit.

 

If that ends up being true what a crazy fucking weekend that will be in Chicago. Holiday weekend on top of all these shows. Oasis aug 28th. Mcr the 29th soad 31th Sept 1st nin 2nd

 

With the Just Like Heaven and likely Kilby Block Party news, Rilo Kiley is possible.

 

This St. Louis radio fest doesn’t realllly mean anything for Riotfest EXCEPT the notion that Ludo is finally playing shows that aren’t only Halloween weekend, so my long held hope they play riot is inching closer… also get The Urge on a line up already!

 

I'm sure it's easier to get the whole band on board in St. Louis, but I would love to see them again. Their Chicago show in 2022 was so much fun.

 

Taking back Sunday/coheed/foxing out. Northerly island August 19th. On the west coast riot weekend
