Riot Fest’s Reddit community is buzzing after a teaser promising “20 More Reasons to Be Excited About the Riot Fest Lineup Coming Tomorrow at 10 AM CDT.” The colorful collage reveals hints from iconic album covers, especially Weezer’s Blue Album, alongside nods to hardcore punk bands like Agnostic Front, Victim in Pain, and Vicious Circle.
Fans speculate this announcement will go beyond usual lineup drops — anticipating special album play sets and possibly additional pre- or after-show gigs. Weezer is a heavy favorite to perform both the Blue Album and Pinkerton, while hopeful whispers circulate about surprise appearances from Gorillaz and A Day to Remember.

Early bird tickets have been on sale, and the community is eager for tomorrow’s full reveal, expecting a blend of nostalgic album tributes and festival extras rather than just new artist additions.
