I wonder if Riot Fest fucks around and goes heavier this year. At the very least, I get the feeling that the Slayer day will be. I noticed last year when I went for Sleep Token that they try to match the general vibe each day. So for instance, the day that Sleep Token played, they had all the more Hip Hop/RnB influenced shit on the same day. ICP, 070 Shake, nothingnowhere, Mr. Bungle, (Not really Hip Hop influenced but very funky regardless, somewhat fits the vibe.) etc. So if the LOG/Mastodon rumor ends up panning out, they will most likely play the same day as Slayer.
Lolla is a lot better this year than last year, very hype for Skrillex, Blink, and Deftones, all 3 of which I never got to see yet. Also hype to see (But have seen before) Future, Zeds Dead, Zedd, Black Tiger Sex Machine, Pierce The Veil, etc. Will prolly peep The Killers too depending on who is playing during their set.
It’s crazy to me that I have Odd Future’s logo tatted on me, (Satan I think that was before you got here, was my first basement tattoo at 14 years old, now covered and gone, was obsessed at one point tho.) but this will now be twice in a row that I straight up skip Tyler at Lolla. He was last there only like 2 years ago. I jus straight up do not care anymore. I don’t even throw them on for nostalgia’s sake. Only Frank Ocean cause his shit stayed timeless.
My kids have already been pleading to go. Tyler and Deftones are pretty much our family soundtrack
You takin em? 🧐
I’d love to, but nah. It’s pricey between the tickets and hotel and air fare. Plus, they’re still just 14 and 11 and I’m not ready to be trying to bring them to a fest that big yet. They beg me every year to take them to Rolling Loud and I have to pass for the same reason
There is exactly one band I'd want to see on that lineup (Hanabie)
And I only recognize like 4 other bands on that entire lineup. Honestly the thought of going to an all day fest like that sounds super unappealing to me.
I kinda wish shows would start doing like 5-10pm hours in general, so I can be home and in bed by 10:30/11:00.
