Lowkey Sigur Ros at Riot would be a god tier booking, give them a two hour side stage closing set opposite Green Day or whoever headlining

I’ve read somewhere (not sure if it’s true) that Sigur Ros won’t do festivals anymore unless they play at night.

In 2017, Boston Calling put Sigur Ros against a good chunk of Chance the Rapper's set. Normally the Blue stage doesn't go as late as what Sigur Ros did. But, it was a great set.

It was sunny and sweltering hot when they played Lolla. Not the most ideal

Thus might be the reason they created that clause actually (if it’s true)

Weezer Blue 30th anniversary tour announcement next week, will be with The Flaming Lips

[Pale Hose]

I like both bands but I really hope Riot Fest doesn't book them again.

It seems like one of the two play every other year.

Apparently Weezer play Msg in mid Sept. So def an option for Riot

[shuck]

Huge news: the Weezer/FLips tour is in Florida during riot fest weekend. Slightly less good news: Dinosaur Jr. is opening for them on those dates.

Fall Out Boy * The Killers (Hot Fuzz) * Slayer
Hole * NOFX * St. Vincent * Sublime
Sum 41 * Power Trip * Taking Back Sunday
Bone Thugs & Harmony * Death From Above 1979 (You're a Woman, I'm a Machine)
Something Corporate * Gwar * The Exploited

[flashii]

Ope, RF also missed out on American Football 'reunion.' Following weekend at Thalia Hall

[comfortdesign]

Killers, Deftones, and Pierce the Veil out, Lolla

No hot fuss at riot, crying screaming throwing up

[flashii]

According to Wikipedia, Justice is "electronic rock" and they appear on the list of "dance-punk" artists. RIOT FEST YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO!!

[comfortdesign]

Fall Out Boy - Rise Against
Hole - The Offspring
Slayer - Lamb of God

Cmon don’t fuck me over this time

[shuck]

I honestly think Fall Out Boy is way too expensive for this fest to book

Maybe like five years ago but idk Riot’s headliner budget really went up after the pandemic. The HLs last year were all playing arenas or stadiums

Apparently they dont pay more than 1.5 for a headliner. So yeah, Fob is prob out of their tange given that they got more for WWWY

Nah they booked The Cure and Foo Fighters last year. I feel like those are bigger-more expensive acts. 

[roccoandhistaco]

They've also already had Fall Out Boy and Blink in the same year back in 2013

[shuck]

I remain slightly unconvinced just because of the Wrigley show that had omnipresent CTA ads for a while, but yeah blink also certainly cost a pretty penny with The Cure

[flashii]

FOB is in according to reddit.
Sleeping With Sirens also seemingly a lock.

[shuck]

Oh, I was wrong I guess. Well it’s good to know there’s one day I’ll almost certainly skip then anyway!

[blurfan]

So Beck, Falll Out Boy and Slayer? That looks like a set of Riotfest headliners

Sounds like I picked a good year to skip!

[comfortdesign]

Where’d beck come from? I’m still holding out hope that they have some crazy get or reunion up their sleeve

I just threw him in there since he's playing that festival in Louisville the same weekend and has a history with the festival

[flashii]

Probably in the minority, but I think The Strokes would be neat. The Voidz played back in 2018 I believe.

[Pale Hose]

Slayer and Fall Out Boy is such an underwhelming start. On the plus side there should be plenty of freebies.

[Mr.BelgianAmbers]

Slayer: Fuck yeah
Fall Out Boy: Wait, what?

Difficult to get excited...

When even a hometown act cant get people excited that tells ya something.
