WTF. Is it always like this with all the awesome shows during RF?

[blurfan]

Ok this is confusing her website lists the show as September 15th but her tour poster on Twitter and the event page on LN have it as the 14th

Usually it's like one awesome show, but I don't remember anything like this before.

[shuck]

smh another act that was clearly booked to play the festival and got dropped off at the last minute

If Gorillaz and Janelle Monae were on Riot Fest Im sure lots of people would say they jumped the shark.

Eh Beck and RTJ headlined before. Neither of those would have been a stretch. 

[shuck]

Also yeah I’m obvs gonna be at the Janelle show. The official Inforoo preparty at the show, the afterparty for the preparty going at the Uptown Lounge until 4 AM babey!

[xfinitypass]

So it’s confirmed for the 14th? If so, I’m definitely going to plan to get there a day early

[kidcharlemagne]

Anyone done VIP for this. I think I’m in, but did t know if it’s be worth the extra $100 for VIP

She changed it so she can go to RF.

I was toying around with working a half day on Friday, but with this I'll be taking the day off.

Kruder and Dorfmeister are playing Concord Weds, 9/14 and Overmono live is the following night as well. Tough choice with K&D being a pretty rare act to catch and Overmono just on top of their game... Chicago is in full swing this summer with an asinine amount of shows I certainly cant afford.

thanks for mentioning the Overmono show the day before the fest, might do that over Janelle, but that's a tough decision.

Interesting

[supЯefan]

Why did they even delete the tweet.

Facebook post is still there.

Sacred Rose announced this yesterday; wonder if Riot Fest is doing something similar, especially since the video was them lighting a bong made out of their pop cans.

Presale for single days is in 45 minutes. Full day by day breakdown is announced thursday at 10.

[xfinitypass]

Found a great deal on a flight, so I’m officially in for this! Probably going to do Overmono the night before, but not buying a ticket yet in case a better official pre show is announced. Looking forward to the day by day breakdown tomorrow

[xfinitypass]

Fuck they stacked Saturday way too hard

[blurfan]

Pretty balanced three days for me. I don't know anyone after Screaming Females on Friday so I need to do a bit of research there.

Calva Louise is cool

[Nathan Fieldcяab]

Sunday probably the weakest of the 3 days for me but tMV, Gaslight Anthem, GYBE, Ride, Oso Oso, Nothing, Caroline Rose, and Just Mustard is plenty of support for The Cure imo. Think I might pull the trigger here

[Bow and Arrow]

I'm very curious to see how Sleep Token is scheduled because their album is still in the top 75 of Apple Music a month after release which is unheard of for a hard rock album. So they'll draw a main stage crowd but I can't see them doing a show in broad daylight?
