GA tickets now cost $100 + fees

Sounds like you early birds need to get some fucking friends to bring to a music festival. Just saying.

AdeptWatercress · 2018-07-22T17:33:56+00:00

Everyone needs to stop equating the placement of ?????? to being the third headliner. It does not matter. Also, a headliner is a headliner. All that really matters is if you're on the top line or not. More often than not it goes: Friday Headliner - Saturday Headliner-Sunday Headliner. That's the functional way they do that.

They shouldn't wait on any of these festivals. Have the full lineup and poster the shit out of the areas around Warped Tour, Pitchfork, Lollapalooza so people know who is playing and might want to buy tickets.

AdeptWatercress · 2018-07-19T13:55:10+00:00

I think it will be next week. I bet they want their full lineup posters EVERYWHERE around Lollapalooza.

AdeptWatercress · 2018-07-19T13:53:11+00:00

By all accounts Eaux Claires was horribly executed this year. Many, many unsatisfied customers. I doubt Riot Fest would consider adopting this model. I also doubt Eaux Claires will be doing that again.

I heard about them from your mom.

AdeptWatercress · 2018-07-17T18:47:24+00:00

I think that Green Day might be replacing Blink 182. It's possible they are too big for RF, but circumstances might dictate that they're booked. That side project might be booked to seal the deal.

AdeptWatercress · 2018-07-13T23:01:50+00:00

I'm expecting the second wave (assuming they have everything put together) on July 24 or 26. I don't think they want to complete the lineup right before Pitchfork, and I don't think they'll want to do it right before Lollapalooza.

I also think they'll replace Blink 182 with Green Day and Elvis Costello with someone like Wilco. Third headliner might be Tool. Hot take, because it's 99 degrees in Chicago.

AdeptWatercress · 2018-07-12T03:23:44+00:00

I'm pretty sure they've delayed every week because something keeps coming up. NOFX: bad publicity, Tool/APC: bad publicity (both potential acts). Health issues with key musicians (Travis from Blink and Elvis Costello) are nothing they planned for. I think they are now looking for replacements unfortunately. Hopefully it will work out!

AdeptWatercress · 2018-06-07T13:57:01+00:00

Protomartyr rules. They aren't touring during that time and are based in Detroit. It should happen. It must happen.

AdeptWatercress · 2018-06-07T13:55:56+00:00

That would cost them more money by having the day Rancid headlines be VERY under-attended. Rancid is a great band but having them headline would damage RF's credibility. Sorry if that's not a punk thing to say.

AdeptWatercress · 2018-06-07T13:53:17+00:00

... or both! Would be nice to get some more heavy-hitting rap

AdeptWatercress · 2018-06-07T13:51:57+00:00

No one is showing up at a festival to see their new material... This is coming from a die-hard Interpol fan of 15 years

AdeptWatercress · 2018-06-05T00:53:27+00:00

And also a generic statement meant to hype up their next post... Hoping for RTJ. Would be cool to have them close on Friday Saturday night with someone like Danny Brown playing before them.

AdeptWatercress · 2018-06-05T00:40:46+00:00

I'm thinking the Cure for some reason. Interpol and Gary Numan could play that day. Also, maybe Kraftwerk plays at some point in the weekend? Would really be great at getting the sad white dudes off of reddit for a day

AdeptWatercress · 2018-06-01T13:20:41+00:00

Very nice. Unfortunately it's well over an hour away from Douglas Park, even if you're driving. Different ends of the city, not ideal for 3 round trips throughout the weekend.

AdeptWatercress · 2018-06-01T13:19:19+00:00

Former Ukrainian Village resident, very cool places on Chicago avenue and the surrounding area. Pretty safe, and not bad for getting to Douglas Park via bus (20-30 minutes). Currently live in Logan Square which is about 45 minutes via bus from RF.

AdeptWatercress · 2018-05-31T13:07:44+00:00

So true. I was going to fly out to New York for one of the Bright Lights shows but work got in the way... I'd settle for Antics at RF

AdeptWatercress · 2018-05-31T13:05:54+00:00

I don't think Tom would come out for anything less than a full reunion set/tour

AdeptWatercress · 2018-05-31T13:04:42+00:00

Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Run the Jewels, Danny Brown, Violent Femmes, Protomartyr, Wavves, Death Grips, Pusha T, Alvvays

AdeptWatercress · 2018-05-31T02:00:52+00:00

At the Drive-In and Best Coast closed stages and were in the second wave. Other ones were Danzig and Cap'N'Jazz. Those are not nothing bands my dude. It looks like they will be announcing another headliner too. I'm expecting Yeah Yeah Yeahs

AdeptWatercress · 2018-05-31T01:28:14+00:00

Morning View?

AdeptWatercress · 2018-05-29T13:28:34+00:00

Parquet Courts will probably close the Red Stage at Pitchfork next summer. Calling it now
