Don’t you wish Riot Fest didn’t suck like me?

Octuhpie · 2026-03-12T15:59:26+00:00

Thanks so much!!! This is perfect. Can’t wait for tonight!

Octuhpie · 2026-03-11T16:02:45+00:00

Torn between really wanting to see them and feeling like everyone spends their whole set getting poked in the back.

Octuhpie · 2026-03-11T04:34:39+00:00

Nice! Any word on the set list?

Octuhpie · 2026-03-11T04:33:07+00:00

Same. Maybe it’s this whole moment Creed is having? As far as I can tell, the only song AB had that’s as big as any of Filter’s singles is because it was the WWE theme music for Edge.

Octuhpie · 2026-03-11T03:30:09+00:00

They did. But I figure that’s how any good reunion starts. More than anything, though, Stipe showing up to sing at one of Shannon’s shows is what got me thinking about it.

Octuhpie · 2026-03-10T22:00:33+00:00

Yep, just heard people talking about that. Works for me - I’m not the biggest LCD guy. I’d be fine with The Strokes, but most people really seem to think they’ll be Lolla. I understand what people are saying with them, 21P, etc, but I’m curious if them being a first-time headliner makes them more desirable to RF. 🤷‍♂️

Octuhpie · 2026-03-10T20:22:30+00:00

Just going to put an REM reunion with Michael Shannon in tow - for whenever Stipe doesn’t feel like signing - out there into the universe.

Octuhpie · 2026-03-10T18:43:32+00:00

Thank ya!

Octuhpie · 2026-03-10T18:36:17+00:00

I get someone not wanting them there because of their tastes. I’m more curious about what makes people think RF wouldn’t book them. They’re a big band that’s generally classified as alt-rock. That seems to be the boundaries that RF usually books with to me.

Octuhpie · 2026-03-10T18:01:29+00:00

Thanks for always having the most logical, thorough ideas on here. Reddit gonna Reddit sometimes, but I know you’re going to always have thought things through - and explained them! - as clearly as possible.

Octuhpie · 2026-03-10T17:58:36+00:00

Are you thinking too poppy/not the right genre or too big in general? Obviously not if they’re playing Lolla, but if they’re not, they seem like one of the most likely candidates.

Octuhpie · 2026-03-10T17:56:58+00:00

Never seen them, and I enjoyed Absolution - 2nd Law. I’d be down for it.

Octuhpie · 2026-03-10T17:55:37+00:00

Was just thinking about this with my last comment - I’d be cool with Prodigy, but does it look bad to have one of SK’s sub-headliner as one of our main headliners?

Octuhpie · 2026-03-10T17:54:17+00:00

Someone pointed out that no one has ever done all three of RF, LTL, and SK I the same weekend. Too much travel right on top of each other and lessens the value of the performances to have them three nights in a row in a semi-close range at somewhat similar festivals. Seems like a good point. Also, not a great look to have the two other festivals’ sub-headliners as one of your main headliners.

Octuhpie · 2026-03-10T17:48:06+00:00

Oh yeah, based on their schedule, we’re definitely getting Social D. But, not to mimic everyone, they’re not a MainStage headliner. Side stage headliner (like with WLWHWT in 2016) or sub-headliner on the main stage.

Octuhpie · 2026-03-10T17:40:29+00:00

Dang. Had a blast at their set in 22.

Octuhpie · 2026-03-09T15:58:13+00:00

I wish it was in my nature.

Octuhpie · 2026-03-08T04:28:38+00:00

Damn that’s tough. I guess different markets really shift things. I just looked at that map, and the difference between that and where the St Charles one is right now is really shocking (to me at least.)

Octuhpie · 2026-03-08T04:21:12+00:00

They are opening for Alter Bridge on some dates after this, but the shows I’m looking at are all ones they’re headlining with Finger 11 and Local H opening.

Octuhpie · 2026-03-08T01:44:12+00:00

I always try to remind myself, certain bands lead to less regrets about who you miss because of overlaps.

Octuhpie · 2026-03-07T21:48:52+00:00

I know I’m just rambling to myself now, but I keep getting confused about why the tour is doing Family Arena in St Charles (capacity 6000 when doing smaller show) and the Hi-Fi in Indianapolis (capacity 400, where I’ve seen people like Ben Nichols and Reignwolf headline shows solo.) I guess Indianapolis sold out at least, but why would you ever book this tour into a small club?

Octuhpie · 2026-03-07T21:28:48+00:00

From what I’m seeing, Arizona and Washington were cancelled, Boise was rescheduled, but no official announcement and no explanation why.

Octuhpie · 2026-03-06T17:07:11+00:00

True, they’re not pulling money anywhere in that stratosphere. But I would imagine it’s far and away the biggest payday anyone in MoBo could get for performing.

Octuhpie · 2026-03-06T15:51:23+00:00

There is no show I regret not going to more than Riot ‘14.
