Yes, you read that headline correctly. Chicago’s Riot Fest can cost you as cheap as $18 per day, while the city’s major festival, Lollapalooza, costs more than Riot Fest’s 3-day admission price for a single day. That’s a great deal that stays in line with the DIY attitude of most of the bands performing at the punk festival, which also plays (with different bands) in Philadelphia on the same day.
The lineup for the Chicago version of the festival was recently released, and it includes some amazing bands for such a cheap price. Headlining the festival are hometown punks Rise Against, as well as IGGY AND THE STOOGES and ELVIS COSTELLO. Other highlights of the lineup include awesome 80s hardcore group Descendents, the reunion of Dan Andriano of Alkaline Trio’s ska band Slapstick, The Promise Ring, and the reunion of the original lineup of Chiodos. That. Is. So. AWESOME.
A 3-day pass costs just $90 while a 2-day pass costs $36. Fans that choose the 3-day option get entrance to the 2-day festival in Chicago’s Humboldt Park, while those that purchase the 2-day option get just the former. The full lineup for the festival in Philadelphia hasn’t been released yet, but REFUSED are topping the bill. Check out more details via the festival’s site. By the way, there are more bands to be announced soon..

Last year Mumford & Sons, Old Crow Medicine Show and Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeroes embarked on the Railroad Revival Tour, in which they travelled to a few cities throughout the US together via train. The tour was inspired by the Festival Express— Janis Joplin, The Grateful Dead and The Band’s 1970 railroad tour throughout Canada.
In July, a crew of electronic artists is set to embark on yet another tour inspired by that original Festival Express tour. Skrillex, Pretty Lights, Diplo, Grimes and other artists are set to travel together on a private train that’ll stop in Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg, Edmonton and Vancouver (Grimes wont be performing in Ottawa). At each of the stops, a festival is set to take place.
Last year I complained on this blog about Coachella’s decision to extend their festival to two separate but identical weekends. They did it so that more people could attend the festival without making it more crowded (they did it for the money), and, admittedly, their experiment seemed to work well. I know people that went to the festival on each of the weekends and both of them reported back that they had a great time.

Everyday there’s a new service, a new site, something remixing two different things to be the thing of a different thing. What is Instagram? It’s the Twitter of pictures. What is Hulu? It’s the Netflix of TV. You get the idea. Everyday there’s a new music service that threatens to be the savior of the industry. The service that, with just enough users, could change everything. Too often though, promises are made only to be broken later. So, which music service are worth getting excited about, which ones may actually change things? The results may surprise you.
