almightyseancore Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 just got home today. everything was amazing except for the mud, and the sole getting ripped off the bottom of one of my chucks on the first day. i spent the next two days with it tied onto my foot with the shoelaces. seeing mineral twice in two days was a dream come true. i talked to chris from mineral a little at the double door show, and he said there's a good chance of a gloria record reunion, as well as finally issuing an album they recorded but never released. bands i caught: day 1: title fight gwar failure nofx gogol bordello offspring janes addiction day 2:samiam 7 seconds dandy warhols the world is a beautiful place die antwoord afghan whigs get up kids flaming lips mineral (after show) day 3 (slept in a little) superchunk naked raygun mineral mudhoney the cure (got there early to get a close spot, watched social distortion from the monitors while waiting) it was a fucking amazing time, and worth all the bullshit i went thru to get the money and make it out there. edit: what ever happened to alkaline trio and thurstin moore being on the bill. i could have sworn they were booked.

smailtronic Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 just got home today. everything was amazing except for the mud, and the sole getting ripped off the bottom of one of my chucks on the first day. edit: what ever happened to alkaline trio and thurstin moore being on the bill. On Saturday, I saw the entire sole of a pair of Vans embedded in the mud near the Rise stage. There must've been a ton of wrecked shoes this weekend. Don't ever remember Alk3 in the bill (they played RF in 2012), and Thurston Moore had visa issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I remember, Al3 was booked but had to back out because they booked the discography shows in Chicago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brody Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Anywhere would be better then the last two years at Humboldt. Worst festival layout of all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Anywhere would be better then the last two years at Humboldt. Worst festival layout of all time. Just in case you didn't realize the layouts had no overlapping area the last two years. They were essentially two different locations.

One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Layout in 2013 was great. Layout last year sucked. This statement actually makes sense. I will give them the benefit of the doubt and say they would have changed the layout from last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottheisel Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I know of a few small bands playing (Signals Midwest, Pears I think) but haven't heard anything about headliners. Metallica was heavily rumored earlier this year but then they got announced for Lollapalooza, so that rules them out. I wouldn't be surprised if Green Day does it.

smailtronic Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Looking forward to the almost-assured Drive Like Jehu show. I hope Riot Fest keeps with their tradition of having bad headliners; it's great to be able to run home and clean up before heading to the after-shows. cephcarn4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llamaface Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 As Cities Burn just announced some anniversary dates in early August on the west coast. It would be cool to see them do Riot Fest. They said in reply to a Facebook comment that there were no more shows to announce. Might not be true, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crime Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Does anyone know if they are announcing the line-ups for all three Riot Fests tomorrow or just Chicago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
