Despite a rumor that has escalated over the last two weeks, after canceled / replaced headers, a late arrival schedule and more, the 2018 Riot Fest apparently unfolded without a hitch. Friday in Chicago.

Taking place for the fourth consecutive year in Douglas Park, in the North Lawndale neighborhood where the violence of the city is rampant, Riot Fest is generally used as an introduction to a part of the city that many concert fans do not necessarily know . Local residents sell parking, cold drinks and homemade food, while spectators head to the park from the Chicago Transit Authority's rides, taxis, buses or pink-level train line.

For years, Riot Fest was hampered by what appeared to be an almost annual rainfall that destroyed the various outdoor urban parks they called home, leaving them paying heavy repair bills. But for the second consecutive year, the organizers dodged this ball as temperatures should be around eighty degrees throughout the weekend without rain in the forecast.

Liz Phair, a native of Chicago, went on stage early Friday at 14:00 central time. Each year, Riot Fest offers the type of program that requires early assistance, as veterans and familiar names, such as Phair, occur early in the day, every day.

An early presence Friday was a good indication for the organizers despite the problems that made the toxic word of mouth on social networks in the wake of the launch of the festival.

"I'd like to ask the city of Chicago to see if they're going to rename the Damen exit from the outlet to Guyville," Phair said, noting the Damen Avenue exit from the Kennedy Expressway that runs through the area. Wicker Park on the northwestern side of the city.

It is at Wicker Park that, from his beginnings as a Chicago artist, Phair has created his first amazing album, still in the news, in 1993. Exile in Guyville.

Guyville defined Wicker Park, acting as a metaphor for the male-dominated music scene of the '90s that she was struggling to break through. The tradition of the album has also long been to assert that it also functioned as a rebuttal of the classic title of the 1974 Rolling Stones. Exile on the main street.

From there, just a few months after the twenty-fifth anniversary of his release, Phair and his four-piece support band went through cuts like "6" and "Stratford-on-Guy". song!

Introspective Guyville cuts like "F – k and Run" lost some of their lyrical power as part of the full group festival. Phair exchanged the harmonica solo in "Divorce Song" for a ripping guitar solo and filled his set of hits like "Polyester Bride", "Extraordinary" and "Why Can not I."

"I did not know what to expect, but thanks for the welcome of Riot Fest!" said Phair at the end of an early afternoon sun Friday at Douglas Park.

Riot Fest has always done an admirable job trying to solve a complex problem. In 2014, Henry Rollins animated a panel of members of Pussy Riot Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Masha Alekhina. The two men spoke eloquently about their incarceration in Putin's Russia, the importance of freedom of expression and more.

Pussy Riot has been scheduled to occur this year, a series that has grown in scale and has grown after the suspicion of poisoning a Russian activist and Pussy Associate Riot Pyotr Verzilov, last Tuesday.

Verzilov is being treated in a Russian hospital after apparently losing his mobility, sight and ability to speak. He is one of the members of Pussy Riot who interrupted the final of the World Cup in Russia last July and the alleged poisoning would have been in retaliation for his activism.

The band members said since the scene Friday in Chicago that, even if he had regained consciousness, he was far from stable.

"Boys and girls, the murders will not stop us," said Tolokonnikova. "We are much more than that." They are more than a mere politically conscious punk-rock collective, having launched the MediaZona website in response to the lack of independent Russian media.

The group presented a powerful, politically-directed set under green winter ski masks. A prerecorded list of twenty-five points unfolded between the songs, highlighting the ideas of wealth inequality and more.

"Stop the poisonings and murders of people whose only fault is honesty," said Tolokonnikova, referring to Verzilov, ending Pussy Riot's invigorating Friday afternoon on the Radical scene.

"Chicago was so good for us when we played in basements and warehouses," said keyboard player Matt Johnson. "I'll tell you, this drink all day long in the sun makes you go there quickly!" replied drummer Kim Schifino.

Matt and Kim are the best performers of the festival. The duo is energetic, entertaining and engaging and never disappoints in front of the big festival.

From DMX to AC / DC, the group launched balloons, giant beach balls, etc. Almost every day, next to hits like "Cameras".

Few performers take the stage with the level of energy that Matt and Kim do, as evidenced by the fact that Kim tore up her ACL on stage last year. But Friday at Riot Fest, she was perched at the top of her drums, bouncing off the stage with an imprudent dropping only a year later.

Weezer took over from Blink-182, who pulled out of the lead last week because of persistent medical problems with drummer Travis Barker. The group nodded in this direction with a late cover of "All the Small Things".

Blankets were an important part of the whole Weezer, and for good reason. Earlier this summer, the result of a viral campaign on social media, the group recorded its first number ten success in ten years after the release of a reprise of the Toto Africa classic in 1982. This track has arrived late in their Friday night set, as well as cover songs such as "Take on Me" by a-ha.

Elsewhere, Weezer has been working in more recent titles like "Feels Like Summer" alongside hits like "Buddy Holly", "My Name Is Jonas", "El Scorcho" and "Say It Ain Not So" opener.
