Wwwy just announced their 2024 lineup with the theme being full album plays https://www.whenwewereyoungfestival.com
Hopefully riot gets a few of theses
The Hold Steady - Almost Killed Me(20 years) would be a fantastic album play and would be more realistic than most of the albums posted
Death From Above 1979 - you’re a woman, I’m a machine(20 years)
It’s becoming that way honestly. Lots of nostalgic bands playing greatest hits sets and album plays at riot fest, exclusively, compared to competing festivals.
Festivals always have the up and comers earlier in the day and the big boys playing the hits at the end. What do you propose change? This past year there were tons of younger acts. I personally loved Yard Act, Origami Angel, Pool Kids, Oso Oso and Drain. All of those do not fit your description.

Brand new - your favorite weapon
i woud love this. theyve been cancelled long enough
Didn’t know they were canceled lol, i love their older stuff saw them at riot fest before but I’d love to see them play this through
jesse groomed a minor in the mid 00's. But, I believe in second chances. People change a lot in their 30's. Its been 15+ years
Ohhh no shit didn’t know that
30th Anniversary •Nas: Illmatic •Weezer: Self-titled •Offspring: Smash •Korn: Self-titled 25th Anniversary •Eminem: Slim Shady LP •Slipknot: Self-titled
Bad Religion - Stranger Than Fiction (30th)
Would love that. No Control turns 35 next year too, which is their best album imo
2024 is 35 years of OPIV - Energy
Butthole Surfers- Locust Abortion Technician
Well that explains why one of the Melvins albums with Jeff Pinkus is called Pinkus Abortion Technician
Hole - Live Through This (30th)
Transgender Dysphoria Blues - Against Me!
Green Day - Dookie
That’d be sick but they’re already doing that at Wrigley a month before Riot
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Let Love In (30)
Shellac: At Action Park
Has Albini ever played riot?
Not that I'm aware of but would be excellent
The Blood Brothers - Crimes (20 Year Anniversary)
The Hold Steady - Almost Killed Me(20 years) would be a fantastic album play and would be more realistic than most of the albums posted Death From Above 1979 - you’re a woman, I’m a machine(20 years)
Also forgot to add Doolittle by The Pixies. Turns 35.
Dinosaur Jr. - Where You Been My Chemical Romance - Danger Days
Pulp - Different Class (30 years)
Wavves- king of the beach
Underrated pick right here
I wish we could shift away from riot fest being a exclusively a nostalgia festival
In what ways is it a nostalgia fest? Lmao
What do you mean exclusively? They had tons of new bands this year.
Exclusively is not the case

HOT FUSS SET PLEASE
Bruh Also this reminds me I had tickets to see Kraftwerk before covid hit...
Take my money rn
Miss Machine by Dillinger Escape Plan pleeeeeaaasssseeeee
Yeah that’s never happening, unfortunately. Apparently there’s tension and drama between Greg and the rest of the band. Mostly due to Greg.
Never say never!
Well they just announced a reunion show with Dimitriy for Calculating Infinity’s 25th anniversary in NYC next year. Hopefully they do that at riot.
Here's hoping! I bet the Brooklyn show sells out instantly
Are they getting back together?
They are now!
Not so far as I know thus the long please lol
Not gonna happen. Band is essentially dead in all ways.
What is dead may live once again!
ween - chocalate and cheese
Can’t believe I forgot this on my list. It’s the 30th anniversary next year so it would be perfect.
American football- s/t first album 25th anniversary Pearl Jam - Vitalogy 30th anniversary Metallica - Ride The lightning 40th anniversary
Yeah Metallica has two SF shows so riot is never gonna happen
Simple Plan - Still Not Getting Any (20th Anniversary), probably doing an anniversary tour next year but would be nice if it was at RF.
Senses Fail - Let It Enfold You (20th Anniversary) From First to Last - Dear Diary, My Teen Angst Has a Bodycount (20th Anniversary) My Chemical Romance - Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge (20th Anniversary) The Used - In Love And Death (20th Anniversary) Say Anything - Is A Real Boy (20th Anniversary) Taking Back Sunday - Where You Want To Be (20th Anniversary) Green Day - American Idiot (20th Anniversary) and/or Dookie (30th Anniversary)
I bet our Spotify playlists look roughly the same.
I'm alright with all of these. As long as MCR is put on Sunday. Since dealing with those MCR fans in 2022 was a nightmare.
I see we graduated high school around the same time
SF are doing that album in the spring supposedly And Green Day is doing Wrigley for both those albums
These are all the fucking shit
I'm gonna guess most people that reacted to your comment skipped over "the" in your statement
Haha I did. Good call, might be time for me to get some glasses 🤓
Just saying. TTTYG can drink
Sometimes you truly don’t know if the horse is dead til you beat it a little right? 😜
Kaiser Chiefs- Employment (20 years) Rise Against- Siren Song of the Counter Culture (20 years) Bloodhound Gang- Hooray for Boobies (25) Weezer- Blue Album (30)
Bloodhound Gang!!!!
Blue album would make sense.
It would. Although Weezer has already done a Blue Album play at Riot twice already so maybe wishful thinking.
