Also, my phone spazzed out when I tried to quote this post and I may have accidentally flagged it. Apologies all around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynamitekid Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Really exciting. I could totally see them doing an NYC show and a Bay Area show too. nickj 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tardcore Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 the "official@ statement is that it's a one-off show. I'm pretty sure they'll announce headlining spots on other Riotfest stops (still doing Denver? Toronto?) but I'd bet Riotfest shelled out enough to make this happen that they have exclusivity.

Korgull Of Morgoth Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 You know the current musical scene is in a very sorry state of affairs when the first 3 lines of bands at ALL international festivals are comprised of reunions or acts that released their best stuff 25 years ago.. jeromium and nickj 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdwell Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Really really really might end up going to this....I don't feel like I can let myself miss a Jawbreaker show, but it's a lot of money that I don't have currently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kylet Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Oh man. I hope they do headliner shows. I'd love to see Jawbreaker but I really don't wanna go to Riot Fest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nancy_raygun Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I was so excited when this was announced and now I'm just trying to convince myself it won't be as cool as it seems. Hopefully they follow it up with a tour. nickj 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cephcarn4 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 (edited) I don't want to go to Riot fest but at the same time I have always said to myself I would travel for a jawbreaker reunion. I do imagine they will play more gigs, but I really want to catch this. I am also hoping their set conflicts with someone like Prophets of Rage or Paramore. I feel regardless of this reunion taking 21 years, Jawbreaker still will not be the big draw the replacements & Misfits were.

Snaggle Von Swift Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 As soon as Fest stated that they couldn't getting Jawbreaker, I purchased my ticket for Riot Fest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh damn did they say that? I know it's pretty absurd to think this but after seeing the news that they're playing riot fest I immediately thought what if Fest comes out at 4:00pm today with the announcement and drops that Jawbreaker is playing. One can dream I guess haha. Snaggle Von Swift 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they follow it up with a tour. It sounds like Riot Fest gets some sort of exclusivity period when they get these bands to reunite. I'm actually kind of shocked that the Misfits haven't had a full, proper tour yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaggle Von Swift Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I heard from a few people that this Misfits signed on for 10 shows (one of which being Riot Fest). But it's been 7 months since Riot Fest and no talks/rumors.. so I guess those tips were false. nickj 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cephcarn4 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Misfits are currently waiting for Danzig to finish his solo obligations. He is currently about to host his first festival than do some European dates. I bet after that we will see something Misfits related. No way on earth Glenn & Jerry pass on this cash cow nickj and Snaggle Von Swift 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicondevil Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Snagged Jawbreaker tickets for the show at Great American in SF. I think it sold out in about 5 minutes. Got randomly lucky and saw the FB post right when it went up, then proceeded to freak out trying to get tickets without using their bad links. I finally get to cross this off of my shame list. I probably could have seen them all of the time in SF, but I wasn't into them back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickj Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Will probably try for a ticket to see them in Brooklyn. $40 before fees seems kind of steep, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
