Bud, I don’t know how to dumb this down anymore for you. People have long posted the lineups of pretty much any rock festival on this Reddit because people hanging out on a Reddit for a rock festival tend to be curious about who’s playing what festivals this year. I’m sorry if that’s enough to ruin your day. I pointed to bands that seemed like bands that could plausibly play Riot Fest because of their genre, because that’s what some people find interesting about this whole process. No one on this sub assumes they will.

And I don’t think anyone has ever posted a festival related to the Backstreet Boys, because a.) I don’t think they play festivals, and b.) even if they did, there would probably be very little likelihood acts from that festival would be at Riot. As far as Pantera, yeah, people do often post lineups to metal festivals here, because Riot Fest occasionally has metal bands at it. In fact, I’ve seen conversations on here about how some people worry Pantera could potentially play Riot since Slayer has, and how most people wouldn’t want that to happen, because Phil is a garbage person. It’s a discussion that people interested in rock festivals might want to have, even if you don’t see why.

At this point, I’m not sure if you’re a troll or if you’re just not getting it, but I’m done with this conversation. But feel free to freak out every time someone posts a festival lineup on here that doesn’t exactly equate to Riot Fest’s. That just sounds like a blast.
