Riot Fest 2018’s first wave of band set to be revealed next week

In their consistent smart ass presentation, Riot Fest is teasing their 2018 lineup. They officially announced today that they will announced the first wave acts for this year’s RF on Wednesday, May 30th. And they have a limited pre-sale tonight at 8pm CST.

Here’s their post from today:

You can stop asking us now. Please.

The first wave of the Riot Fest 2018 lineup will be revealed on Wednesday, May 30.

We’re very excited about it, so we’re putting a limited amount of 2018 presale tickets on sale tonight at 8:00 p.m. CDT… do not sleep on this, you lazy sod.

No, we didn’t book all of the exact bands you wanted us to book. The lineup of excellent Riot Fest 2018 artists probably won’t be in the exact order you wanted them to be in. They most likely won’t be playing in the exact location you wanted them to. You even want them all to play for free.

We’re in the business of giving you what you want, which is stuff to bitch about. In that spirit, stand by, because in less than a week, you can start complaining about the Riot Fest lineup instead of just complaining about when the Riot Fest lineup will be released. And that’s all you really want, right?

RF fans have been clamoring after Lollapalooza was announced to see what they get this fall on the south side of Chicago, while the Riot Fest Twitter Guy has teased the masses. Last month, RF even posted this corporate themed video teaser that mocks up the alternative music fest as a spreadsheet-driven creation from a some board room.
