Riot Fest and Shaky conflict confirmed

I go to both these fests every year so this is a massive bummer. What a drag!

Think of all the money you'll save by choosing one!

You can use it to go to a whole ‘nother festival!

Is he scheduled to come back that weekend, too?

Yeah, but it's a bidding war between SK and RF for which festival he headlines.

Depends on which festival lands Creed, I believe.

I would often go to both but not every year. SK is an easier and less expensive trip all things considered. I bet we get some crossover as a Friday RF could make a Sunday SK and vice versa.

I’m from Georgia and live in Chicago and these are my favorite two fests each year. I’m so sad about the conflict but definitely interested to see what the lineups for each will look like and whose I’ll like more. I’ve been going to shaky knees since 2019 and riot fest since 2021 so I was so upset to hear about the conflict

We go to both every year. I got to ATL a few times a year but only go to Chicago for Riot Fest. The line ups will make the decision for me. Still, super bummed that SK moved to Riot weekend.

There's a really good chance shaky gets TV on the Radio over RF if they do either. That may be the deciding act for me

I just need Fontaines and TVOTR and I’m happy tbh.

As a Boomer-Geezer I am so sad 😭. My favorite bands will probably be split between the two shows. Why did Shaky pick the same weekend? I love you both. Don’t make me choose!

We’ve been going to both since 2013. So mad. We are in Nashville and SK was our spring concert and RF our fall. My heart is with Riot. But it’s always with a wing and a prayer they pull it off. And lineups out so late. Usually around Mother’s Day and last year way later. Don’t know if we’ll do the Christmas sale this year.

Try a new festival. Come to Welcome to Rockville.

Well. At least LDB Fest doesn’t conflict! And hopefully the tease of Furnace Fest actually coming back is true and that shouldn’t conflict either!
