Riot Fest 2023 Schedule Release

Always a little anxiety when the schedule is released.  Not knowing if there are conflicts, who may be playing too early, or too late, etc.  This year’s schedule was just release and, while not perfect, there weren’t too many casualties.  Especially considering we have a lot of moving parts both nights getting to Frank Turner and Too Much Joy.

The biggest conflict is one of Jimmy’s future favorites, the punk supergroup Fake Names.  They are playing right before Foo Fighters on a different stage not allowing us to get from them to be close-ish for Foos.  A few other lower priority conflicts are Head Automatica, Crass,  100 Gecs, Bayside, and Tegan and Sara.

Anyway, here’s my curation of Friday and Saturday:
