2021.09.19 CANCELLED - Chicago, IL @ Riot Fest

[halo eighteen]

The wording of different articles about NIN cancelling their RF appearance leaves me curious. Some state Slipknot to replace NIN, while others state Morrissey and Slipknot to replace NIN. The latter implies that NIN may have been the surprise headliner Thursday night? If that happened I would have been gutted since only three day pass holders bought by a certain time had access to the Thursday night performances prior to the NIN cancellation, and I just had Sunday passes.

Of course this is all a moot point now.

I think Consequence of fucking Sound being one of /the main publications to make that claim should be all you need to know.

i don't think they literally meant Morrissey is replacing NIN as the Thursday headliner, just that Riot Fest are promoting his addition as a way to soften the blow.

I think they said that just so they could use the follow-up punchline "No word on who is replacing Morrissey."

Haven't we all suffered enough without having to endure Morrissey as well?

Pixies have canceled as well.

well theyre based in Chicago and want to try to seem like they still get scoops.

Oh shit. The dominoes are falling...

Finally got my Sunday refund, btw - I was genuinely afraid that I'd still be waiting after the fest entirely, wondering if I should have tried to resell instead.

Sunday refund was processed yesterday and shows as pending on my Visa.

My refund is also pending so that’s about as positive an outcome as possible.

What a sad needless thing. We could’ve saw NIN close Riot Fest (their set in 2017 was excellent) but dumbfuck antivaxxers ruined it for everyone.

Sunday refund is inbound (and I got my refund for the Cleveland shows.) I ended up using this money to fill in some vinyl holes in my collection. Once those come in I'll post up in the collecting area and shout out my source. It's my consolation prize to myself. ohhh well, one day we'll be through all this.

Not sure what this means. Can you explain?

Just me thinking out loud about how everything has been shitty since the end of 2019, now in the third quarter of 2021 and things still being canceled.

Gotcha. Yeah, it's pretty damn depressing and this whole pandemic thing has most definitely overstayed its welcome (not that it was ever welcome to begin with).

[Swykk]

Damn, Faith No More canceled too.
