Local Man Achieves Nirvana by Pretending 'Riot Fest 2026' Lineup Isn't Just Another Cash Grab Featuring Bands That Broke Up in 1997
AITA for thinking the only thing more chaotic than the mosh pit at 'Riot Fest 2026' is the ticket prices? TL;DR: They announced the lineup yesterday and, surprise, it's 90% nostalgia acts who are legally obligated to wear skinny jeans. Also, the headliner is a hologram. Again. We're supposed to act excited, but honestly, I'm just waiting for the inevitable "unforseen weather" that turns the whole thing into a muddy, overpriced version of Woodstock '99 but with more ironic merch. Guess I'll save my rent money to stand in a field and listen to a band that was mid the first time around. 🤙
