smailtronic Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Three bands I want to see on Friday, four on Sunday, eight on Saturday. On the plus side, I may be able to head out early Sunday for a work trip. On the negative side, I'm almost guaranteed to run into constant band overlap on Saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pushbacktosquare Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Chicago residents: if someone gives me a floor to sleep on, i'd GREATLY appreciate it. I can provide good company and an uber ride to the venue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
openupyourskull Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I'm seriously considering flying out for the Toronto RF to see The Cure, since they're one of, if not my all-time favorite band and I've been waiting years and years to come to Mass again with no results. Just a question for seasoned veterans of Riot Fest - how long do you think they'll be playing as headliners? Looking at past schedules, it looks like the headliners almost always got only an hour and 15 minutes of stage time, an hour and 30 if they were lucky. The Cure are known for their long sets - they're usually given a minimum of two hours as a headliner. I just don't want to spend hundreds of dollars to get there only to see a brief (by their terms, anyway) set and no other bands on the bill for Saturday really interest me except maybe the Lips and DFA.

Looking at past schedules, it looks like the headliners almost always got only an hour and 15 minutes of stage time, an hour and 30 if they were lucky. Someone who saved past schedules could probably answer you more clearly, but from what I remember about Chicago... The actualy headliners, the last act to play on the biggest stage each night had two hours (8-10 or 8:30-10:30, I think). The folks who played in the second to last spot on that stage, or the last spot on the other two 'big' stages had 75-90 minute sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Going all three days so this information doesn't do much for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like I'm off to Toronto then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smailtronic Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I'm not going to be able to use the Sunday part of my three day Chicago pass. $60 and it's yours. Can deliver it Saturday at the festival, or somewhere around town Saturday night. PM me if you're interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tardcore Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 sort of meh on the whole thing. I just commited to going to a festival in Portland at the end of September, so I might just unload my 3 day VIP pass. Still on the fence, but PM me if interested.

smailtronic Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 got my mineral tickets already. may pick up GUK tickets, but i'm gonna wait for the schedule to come out. Based on the already posted order, I fully expect the Get Up Kids to be playing STWHA during at least one other act I want to see, so seeing them that night solves the problem. Saw them in a ~300 capacity club in Baton Rouge a couple years ago and it was awesome.Looking forward to being able to stumble home from Bottom Lounge that night. Quasi-related, did they ever announce the tenth band that's playing an album set at RF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tardcore Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 I think they're still witholding that announcement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnstiles Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I think the tenth band is television. Also, I'm in for the mineral after party. So stoked to see them at fucking double door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pushbacktosquare Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Bought my ticket for mineral. Very stoked. Also, if anyone from out of town is booking a hotel or has a place to stay, let's get in touch. I have yet to sort out my housing plans and I can pitch in if you're booking a hotel. Word.
