I went to this thing the past 2 years in Chicago and it's the best thing going.
such a fun, relaxed festival. Getting to see the Replacements was a fucking dream come true.
this new lineup is fucking rad.
its better than fucking boner-oo and coachsmellya and lollipoploozer all combined.
check it.
Chicago Lineup | Riot Fest
The Cure Janes Addiction and Weezer it's like I'm in college again and everything's awesome.
Flaming lips? sure why not.
The National? All the kids love these guys.
Wu Tang? wow.
Tegan and sara, metric yup. CHEAP TRICK?! HOORAY!!
Patti Smith?! i'll take that.
what's this?
WHAT?!
fucking WELLER?!
ka-BLAMMO!!!
I'll read the rest tomorrow. so help me god if they mix it up with the skull punishing metal of someone like slayer or mastodon, the modern indie stylings of someone like of mice and men or kurt vile, and bring back some other old classic bastards like social distortion or fucking stiff little fingers or the buzzcocks, and mix in some shittty 90's emo like dashboard confessional or something, this might get even better. maybe some dirty bluesy 60's sounding nonsense like black joe lewis, and finally some great grunge or post grunge bs - like mud honey or failure. plus, you just know they're gonna have some of that popular modern punk like dropkick murphys or the dropkick murphys. they'll probably even make the boss tones toot their tooters once again. they have shit like that every year. it's fun to watch bands play in the sunshine with a hot dog and a beer.
