Rise Against / AFI / Anti-Flag - Mourning In Amerika Tour Tour • Page 2

Afi headlines red rocks with circa survive

 

I saw AFI with Circa Survive and Citizen last summer. There where 500 people there and they gave away a ton of tickets.

 

So this is playing at huge venues some places? Ours is like...1300? Max?

 

Palladium is 2100

 

so did I. I guess i'm going to Nashville.

 

Philly is about 6,500 but they always oversell

 

Rise against is sneaky huge.

I'm totally into this and will be at stone pony or philly

 

Where was that at?

 

Columbus, OH at Express Live!

 

So how did AFI lose their popularity? Weren’t they big on mtv a while back, does that just fade and make it hard to fill venues???

 

i hope afi and antiflag some how end up playing Friday of riot fest

 

Yeah. I like you folks and all but I’d never take that much time on directly linking the venues. Lol.

 

I can’t believe they’re gonna be at the Santa Barbara Bowl. I always crossed my fingers that they’d play there since that’s a great venue for them. Too I bad I don’t live in the area anymore... Guess I’ll have to try and hit up the Irvine date

 

There is overselling and then there’s festival pier. Most places oversell from 6500 to like 6700. Festival pier oversells from 6500 to 9000. It’s ridiculous.

 

I am happy to avoid seeing Rise Against at Festival Pier for the 3rd time in 10 years. Gonna splurge for pit tickets for NYC.

 

Is afi just not very popular anymore???

 

"Every pair of online tickets comes with one (1) digital album of Rise Against's The Ghost Note Symphonies, Vol 1."

Anyone have any details on what this is exactly?

 

is afi not popular anymore?

 

Why are you so obsessed with this question that you've asked it four times in this thread?

 

i just don't get how they are opening for rise against? maybe i'm underestimating rise against popularity

 

If you compare their social media follower count, it’s very clear who is more popular and why they are opening:

Facebook:

RA - 4.2 million
AFI - 1.3 million

Twitter:

RA - 371K
AFI - 113K

Insta:

RA - 288K
AFI - 87K

 

Yeah Rise Against has been far more popular than AFI for a long time. People forget how huge Rise Against really is. The band has been way more relevant on a mainstream level for the past 10 years than AFI has ever been. Rise Against is easily the biggest band to come out of the punk scene within the last 15 years.

 

ok give me some songs to check out for rise against

 

The Sufferer and the Witness album. Album is perfection.

 

Yeah, I don't know why it was a debate about who was bigger. I love AFI, but you hear Rise Against on the radio wayyyy more frequently, as well as at sporting events, on TV, etc. Rise Against is on a different level than AFI at this point in my opinion.

That said, can't wait for this tour. I can't fucking believe I'm seeing these guys in Maine. I've never seen Rise Against before, can't believe my first time will be in my home state.
