He’s doing a show at the local grow store I get my supplies from. It’s like 5 miles from my house. They’ve pivoted a bit and moved into a bigger building, now also have a huge rc track and store, an arcade, and a stage pretty much anyone can use. They host local bands, events, craft shows, local pro wrestling events (UPW) and more. They also have an outdoor setup as well for about 2,000 people. We actually have a grad party scheduled there for my kid next week. Never really pictured myself at an Afro Man show, but it’s so close to home I can’t really pass it up.
Man bro the Saturday lineup of Riot Fest is the absolute worst of the 3 days. ICP, Death Grips, 100 Gecs, and Mr. Bungle all in the same day. All complete garbage. I’m still going jus cause I wanna see Sleep Token that bad and this is their only Chicago appearance this year, but I was REALLY hoping there was at least one other band performing that day that I gave a shit about. I see what they did because essentially they put all Hip Hop influenced and adjacent bands on the same day, including Sleep Token, but the other ones are all fucking horrible. I somewhat like nothing,nowhere. and I guess I might stay for QOTSA but Goddamn.
For the most part yea, but there’s a few on there that it woulda been dope if they fell on the same day, like AFI, The Used, Foo Fighters, etc.
Nothing must see personally, but still would have made it more worth paying full day festival prices, cause 1 day is still $120 after fees, and I know damn well tickets for Sleep Token’s solo tour are prolly like $60 max, they ain’t that big yet.
