Rick said:

Wow! Best line-up yet. Hate to say it, but glad to see Raygun not included among the headliners. Been very disappointed in their shows the last few years. Pegboy and Screeching Weasel are going to rip that place up!

Todd Flanders said:

Look mommy, I'm a surfer!

JASON HOLSTEIN said:

you need to let FEAR CITY PLAY MORE SHOWS THEY KICK ALL KINDS OF ASS

Afraid of Oi bands said:

Well looks like I know to say the hell away from the sunday metro show. Good thing Screeching Weasel is up against that mess of a brawl.

Hurricane Steve said:

Oh Flatfoot 56 gets to play with their idols Cocksparer. I bet they came their Jesus loving NRA supporting over sized pants. That band needs to just stop. STOP

Spazner said:

Wow. This is just an AMAZING lineup so far. Really good work, fellas.

RL said:

I don't like the multiple shows on the same day. Now I have to decide between Naked Raygun vs Dead Milkmen or NOFX vs DeadMilkmen. Go back to the one or two days of big shows.

Tom_85 said:

Flatfoot 56 is a good band, and it's great to see them playing a gig like this in their hometown.

pat in arizona said:

the flying father said:

what you talking about Rick? damn right Raygun is a headliner, and they deserve to be!

mosterball soup said:

Glad I went to chaos in tejas this year, cuz riot fest looks like a real boring fest. Cock sparer still knows how to bring it however.

Red Snapper said:

Let's drop acid and go see the Buttholes!

XTina said:

Thanks for making these allages so I can see them!!!!

Luke said:

Craziness. Riot Fest never disappoints.

ben r. said:

there's no way in hell the New Bomb Turks should be playing before Riverboat Gamblers. RESPECT THE ROCK!

Big Jon of Chicago said:

Now THIS is a Riot Fest. Take that, rest of America. God bless you, Mr. Riot Mike. You're an inspiration to Chicago punks everywhere. :P All you need now is ANWL, and you're set! ^_^ And FEAR, The Partisans, and Adolescents. lol.

Ronny said:

This is insane! Thanks Riot Mike!

Demetri said:

Oh how could you put NOFX and Dead Milkmen on the same night? That was a bad move.

Riot Fest said:

Dead Milkmen are playing two shows... you can see them play the night before.

Tom said:

Are the New Bomb Turks playing or not?

Sandy said:

Riverboat Gambler's are a great addition to the fest. Rickster, you're an idiot if you've been disappointed with Naked Raygun lately. What an ass. Which day do I fly in though??????

Jeffrey said:

I DONT THINK 88FL IS GOING TO BE PLAYING IN L.A... Looks like I"m going to have to FLY to CHICAGO FOR THIS ONE!! NOTHING ON L.A. SHOW YET... I KNOW MURDER CITY IS NOT GOING TO BE THERE FOR SURE THOUGH SO WHOS" TO SAY WHAT OTHER BANDS ARE GOING TO DITCH L.A?!

animal fan said:

ben r. said:

As of now, the New Bomb Turks are NOT playing. Not sure why they were ever posted to the site. They just played in Chicago in February.
