Pale Waves

The 2022 edition of Riot Fest happens this month in Chicago, and there have been a few last minute changes to the lineup.

”I’m sorry we booked so many bands you like and there are scheduling conflicts. Next year we won’t book any bands you like.”

Riot Fest regulars Taking Back Sunday, ”Gansta’s Paradise” hitmaker Coolio and more join this year’s Riot Fest lineup…

New additions join My Chemical Romance, Green Day, Halsey, Dua Lipa, Weezer, Avril Lavigne, and more…

Bad Religion, Jimmy Eat World, Descendents, Portugal. The Man, Rocket From the Crypt, The Wonder Years, Lunachicks, Jawbox, Jeff Rosenstock, Less Than Jake, Alexisonfire, The Get Up Kids, Madball, and many more are on the stacked lineup…

The lineup also includes Wolf Alice, The War On Drugs, Thrice, Phoebe Bridgers, Gang of Youths, Princess Nokia, Higher Power, and more…

While we wait for The 1975’s highly anticipated new album Notes on a Conditional Form, artists including Phoebe Bridgers, beabadoobee, Rina Sawayama, Pale Waves, Clairo, Cavetown, and Gracie Adams, did a special virtual tribute to the band.

Rina Sawayama, Heather Baron-Gracie of Pale Waves, and more will also cover The 1975 for the livestream special.

Day one of Boston Calling 2019 had a sort of meh headliner (21 Pilots), but plenty of good stuff in the undercard, including Christine & The Queens, Lord Huron, Gang of Youths, Turnstile, Yaeji, Fred Armisen, and more.

The 1975’s tour brought them to Chicago’s United Center on Wednesday night (5/8), where they played one of their typically over-the-top sets, with Matty Healy directing the proceedings in true larger-than-life frontman fashion.
