Riot Fest Announced The First Wave Of Their 2021 Lineup And I Hope More Festivals Follow Suit
Going to concerts is my favorite thing in the world. I don't enjoy anything as much as I enjoy live music, and I've haven't missed anything even HALF as much as I've missed going to concerts in quarantine.
We were prepared to see the Foo Fighters, Rage Against The Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Liam Gallagher, and more at Boston Calling 2020; I had tickets to see Lukas Nelson, Chris Stapleton, The Black Crowes, Hayley Williams, and Phoebe Bridgers in the Spring; I thought we were gonna see back-to-back stadium MEGASHOWS in the Green Day/Fall Out Boy/Weezer "Hella Mega Tour" and the Mötley Crüe/Def Leppard/Poison/Joan Jett "old people" tour; but instead - we've just got a buncha isolation covers....
Don't get me wrong - I've loved (almost) all of em - but they just ain't quite itching my "live music" bone. You start announcin' festival lineups, though?! That'll sorta do it!
I don't even care how far out we are! Riot Fest 2021?! PENCIL ME IN! I'LL BE THERE!
Keep em coming! I wanna know what I'm doing on the third weekend of May in 2023! I wanna have a schedule so booked full of gigs in 2021 that I'm overwhelmed. I wanna buy tickets to a buncha shows going on consecutively just to give myself options on the day-of. Coachella, Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, Rock In Rio, Splendour in the Grass - WHERE YOU AT?! ANNOUNCE THE LINEUPS!!!
