While I agree that the prospect of another year of generic setlists is disheartening, at least they’re still getting out there and playing shows, giving fans the chance to see them in places that they play less often than others - Louisville and Quebec City for example. They could just as easily have packed it up after the two year Hella Mega run and rested on their laurels until the next record is released. In all likelihood, in a decade or two Green Day won’t be playing nearly as many shows as they are now. Don’t take them for granted, even if they’re “just” festivals - let’s appreciate them while they’re still going strong, still near the top of their game after some 35 years.

We're living in repetition.... Content in the same old shtick again

Buckle up for another year of Hella Mega setlists...

Of course it's exciting that GD are announcing new shows, but for me at least, that excitement wans when it's festivals. The older I get, the more unpleasant festivals become. I get some people really like the idea of seeing multiple bands in a weekend or day, but they're just overwhelming and tiring. Give me a good ol fashioned tour! And at the rate they're going, it makes me sus that they might headline Riot Fest this year since they did Lolla last year...

After they’ve spent a year and a half teasing a new album? You tell me you don’t feel a burst of excitement when you see an Instagram notification from Green Day and then a crushing disappointment when you find it’s just another festival announcement with what we know will be the same setlist they’ve been playing for two years.

"Oh Yeah", your right, I'm sure I'm not in the "Minority" that sadly this topic is deemed a little "Redundant". I'm tired of "Waiting" for some news. I'm a "Misery", "I Want To Be Alone". My mates are calling me "The Grouch" I'm so "Uptight". I'm desperate to gain some "Knowledge" of some progress, but "No One Knows". But "Hold On" stop being an "American Idiot" be positive and look to "See The Light". Take the "Longview" and maybe go on "Holiday" before I become a "Basket Case". They say a prayer sometimes helps, I'll try "Church on Sunday". "In The End" though I really need a rest before I "Suffocate". Perhaps go to bed for a long sleep. But, If by some miracle of biblical proportions, the album is released in October, maybe some kind soul on here will remember to " Wake Me Up When September Ends."

This thread is becoming redundant

Billie looks so good in these photos, I'm mesmerized at how young he still appears at 51

We get greedy in this thread. Green Day have gone longer without records or teasers. I’m also eager for new music, but I’d rather it be good and ready rather than rushed. I think their marketing strategy is whack but, in the end, it’s their choice not ours.

A release in the fall is increasingly inevitable

Amen. I really wonder if there‘s another fandom out there complaining cause their favorite band is announcing new shows.

I really think we're in for something big! Judging by the teasers and the fact they have Rob Cavallo and CLA back on board, they seem to be putting a lot of love into this one!!! If it were just another throwaway fun celebration of rock album like FOAM, they would've released it already.

I miss Viva La Gloria live. So good.

A countdown to 1972. I can't let you click the link before telling you......the album already came out on March 17th. We all completely missed it or something. I don't know what happened, but gosh poop we missed it. https://yourcountdown.to/green-day-1972

The chances are 19 out of 72 that it stays the same.

Timeline Of Events Feb 28/23 – Chris Lorde-Alge who mixed Nimrod, American Idiot, 21st Century Breakdown and Uno/Dos/Tre, has posted two pictures from the studio featuring Green Day in the past couple of days.

May 14/21 – A short video clip was uploaded to Green Day’s Instagram account featuring Billie Joe in the studio teasing a new song.

My love reaction's not enough. I'm lost for words. Spammy posts and lack of reason. Misspellings of what we were. Went through pages til I'm nauseous. GDA's down now I've wasted, fake it, ate it now i hate it cause I cannot post. I've lost my voice. Theories are redundant cause we all want something new. I'm lost for words.

Now the routine’s turning to contention… like a production line going over and over and over rollercoaster

Chances are it's gonna be the same setlist. But not 100% sure. We don't know what's going to happen until their first festival on July 14th in Milwaukee. 4 months from now. I still believe for some new songs 😇

At least it 100% won’t be on album 14 now

I didn't saw the hella mega so I don't mind them coming 10 minutes from my house doing their thing 😂 Cant fucking wait!!! July 16th babyyy

damn, the hopes of a US tour this year are dwindling...

Oh boy, they just announced another festival 🤦🏻 https://instagram.com/stories/greenday/3064202738283137542?utm_source=ig_story_item_share&igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Taking the setlist of the Innings Festival 23 as a standing point, I tried to create a realistic setlist which may be performed with the release of the new album. I took some songs out, included unnamed new songs instead and changed a few ones. (I had shared my dream setlist previously which wasn't realistic) This is for fun. So without a definite song order the new realistic and fun setlist can be as: -Bohemian Rhapsody/Blitzkrieg Bop -lntro Theme 1- New Song xx 2- Welcome To Patadise 3- American Idiot 4- Holiday 5- New Song xx 6- Boulevard of Broken Dreams 7- Longview 8- New Song xx 9- All By Myself/Dominated Love Slave 10- Bang Bang (changable with Nice Guys Finish Last at some dates) 11- Hitchin' a Ride 12- Viva La Gloria 13- New Song xx 14- When I Come Around 15- Give Me Novacane/St. Jimmy 16- 21 Guns 17- Going To Pasalacqua (changeable with Paper Lanterns or Armatage Shanks or Stuck With Me at some dates) 18- Minority 19- Knowledge 20- Basket Case 21- She (changable with 2000 Light Years or Burnout or I Was There or Scattered at some dates) 22- Wake Me Up When September Ends 23- Jesus of Suburbia 24- Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) So no Know Your Enemy, King For A Day, Brain Stew, Geek Stink Breath or Rock and Roll All Nite but adding 4 new songs and including some old ones by changing them from date to date so the setlist won't be exactly the same for each date. I just had fun thinking on it and wanted to share.

When you try Fiji water for the first time, decide it's actually gross, and start judging Billie hard

Lush was mine. He looks a picture of health too. you wait, it’s a constant battle once the middle aged hair thing starts!

Now I cannot speak, I lost my voice, I’m speechless and redundant ‘cause I love you’s not enough, I’m lost for words!!!

Glad someone is excited. What a time to be a fan. Endless festivals and greatest hits shows celebrating 1994-2010 🤷

CONFIRMED Finally Green Day at FEQ 🤟🤟🤟🤟

Isn't this album out yet?

Love this hehe but I don't think they'll start with a new song unless it's a big hit, which is difficult by their age,,,

Nice set list!!! Although if I were to change one thing, I would think that some of the new songs would most likely be played back to back

Green Day and Billy Talent on the same Stage 🙏😭😭 My fave Band with one of my Top 5 bands. I mean last year we got a super line up at Rock am Ring but this year? Awful

For some reason I just didn't read the title of this thread and didn't even realise that was Rob, I've never seen him without hair before 😅 He's looking pretty good for 60 tho!

Some pics of Mike with Rob https://www.instagram.com/p/CqBxJvnPPlp/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Another article on the guitar. https://www.guitarworld.com/news/gibson-billie-joe-armstrong-les-paul-junior-2023

Really good source here in Quebec. Biggest festival of the year. Translate: It smell like Green Day at FEQ 2023 On July 16th. We are waiting for Billy Talent, Foo Fighters and Green Day... in the same night! Answer tomorrow at noon for the whole lineup.

Billie wanted to call their first album 39 after his brother’s 39th birthday that year. Maybe they’ll call the new album 60 after Rob’s birthday

Reckless speculation

I still believe in October-November 2023 release date.

New versions have leaked, very expensive though Silver https://www.thomannmusic.com/gibson_bja_les_paul_junior_sm.htm Black https://www.thomannmusic.com/gibson_bja_les_paul_junior_veg.htm

He's still a little cutie Look at those gorgeous smooth rosy cheeks! Someone pls get the man a nose hair trimmer tho

We get results, dammit!!

HOW does Billie look 30 omg

If this song is on the new album, then I’m seriously not interested in the rest of it and would think the whole crew has become completely out of touch with reality.

When you go down a street out in the middle of nowhere called Armstrong Rd. and think about Billie.

My boyfriend said he likes The Network better!! And I thought he was a keeper

Came across this list suggesting GD have written 228 songs. Haven't checked it in detail yet, for errors etc, just wanted to share. Songs written by Green Day (click spoiler for list):
