From Billie's Instagram story Next two with Sugar Youth lyrics

On this day 7 years ago, Green Day played a second night in Sydney, Australia on the RevRad Tour. More photos: 15 years ago, they played 10 songs from 21st Century Breakdown, then American Idiot, on the Canal+ TV show in Paris. 19 years ago, they played in Cedar Rapids, MI on the American Idiot Tour. I'm learning the names of lots of random American cities. And 22 years ago, they played in Woodlands, TX on the Pop Disaster Tour. Another photo:

Green Day and Offspring should play in Greenville, South Carolina 400 days a year.

This is cute

On this day 7 years ago (10 May 2017), Green Day played in Sydney, Australia on the RevRad Tour. More photos: I'm just going to keep saying that I can't believe that tour was seven years ago, because what the fuck? When did that happen? Don't talk to me about how long it's been since the 99 Revolutions Tour. 19 years ago (2005), they played in Peoria, IL on the American Idiot Tour. 22 years ago (2002), they played in Selma, TX on the Pop Disaster Tour. 26 years ago (1998), they played in Schenectady, NY on the Nimrod Tour. And 32 years ago (1992), they played in Edmonton, Canada on the Kerplunk Tour. I admit I forgot yesterday. Thanks Rumpel.

Here you go! And according to a Google Lens result, it was after the 1st Coney Island show, so May 22, 2018.

I'm looking for a photo of Billie backstage after a show on the Longshot tour. He's shirtless and sticking his tongue out. Yes, I am unashamedly using thirst traps to get people to look at my On This Day thing. That does mean I also need to know what show it was from though, so if you know, please share your knowledge and the photo!

I think if they legally weren't allowed to say something about that on stage if they wanted in Texas or Florida that would apply. That's the difference to me, if it directly affects the artist's performance. Nobody's doing any of the things you're accusing them of. Nobody has even brought up let alone called out Christianity, the only thing that's been called out is UAE's Islamic based laws. Boycotting a country because a lot of people in the country follow a particular religion would be stupid and bigoted. I don't think anyone's even calling for a boycott anyway, just questioning the decision to play (and contibute to the economy of) a country with some major human rights issues that conflict with the band's message/songs, and where their show will be subject to censorship laws.

Hahaha totally. I can understand a band doesn't play in certain countries because of their policies, that's fine, just as some have done several years ago with Israel. But I also understand that many civilians are not to blame for that... And why nobody talk about The Offspring is play there too? More than 30 years and finaly they are playing shows together... but in Africa and the UAE 😆

This is about Green Day playing the country, not about attacking an entire religion. People personally practicing a religion has nothing to do with the topic, the only relevant part is the laws that relate to this Green Day show. I think religion sucks as a concept lol, but that doesn't mean everyone who practices religion sucks and should be attacked for it. If the issue was people in the country being religious/conservative then there'd be calls for them not to play half the US too - the difference between a religiously conservative US state and this religiously conservative country is laws, not what religion it is. The specific issue here is religion (and censorship of government critical views) being legally enforced by a government which creates human rights issues. But there's nothing Green Day can do about that, so the even more specific issue that relates to this show being discussed is just whether it's right for them to play a show in this country. It isn't a discussion about the entirety of Islam/organised religion lmao.

The people saying it are calling out Islam based censorship/"morality" laws. Literally nobody is claiming it has nothing to do with Islam. But there's a big difference between people in a country being Muslim and a country enforcing oppressive laws based on Islam/religion or based on anything for that matter. The issue here isn't the religion itself but the way it is legally enforced in this particular country.

Hope they do! Since they're playing countries they've never even played before seems like a decent chance. I guess the last time they did a proper Asia tour was 21st CB? They're due for one.

I mean, logistically speaking, they‘ll be coming from South Africa and could play in other places after Dubai.

The ticket prices are: VIP Hospitality Lounge AED 3,000 Front Pit AED 1,195 Golden Circle AED 595 Regular Standing AED 445 I think I will wait for a couple of months to see if they come up with an Asia tour or something rather than going to a vanilla Green Day show as my first one.

Got a Fan Pit Standing Ticket for myself.

What I mean is even if they don't actually censor something they are not free to perform exactly as they might elsewhere. Could they wear a gay pride flag like they do at many shows for example? Doubtful. Just the fact they would even have to consider which parts of their shows could cause a problem means it isn't a place they should play imo. Especially given their former stance with Pansy Division - going from refusing to play venues that wouldn't book a queer support act to playing a venue where that act would risk being arrested or worse for performing isn't a good look.

People are just going off based on what's most likely thing to happen. The Boys aren't so fucking stupid that they would accept controversial gig in Dublin just to pull off songs that would piss people off and get them banned from performing in Dublin ever again. At best, Billie might give some speech about loving everyone, but that's it. I realize I'm cynical about this, but they never should've taken this gig. I am very confident about this show being Greatest Hits 2.0 setlist with focus being on biggest hits and feel good songs.

On this day 7 years ago (8 May 2017), Green Day played in Brisbane, Australia on the RevRad Tour. More photos (all by Dana Hope) 26 years ago (8 May 1998), Green Day appeared on MTV. Interviewer: Are you doing anything for Mother's Day? I just FedEx'd my mom my card. Tre: Me too. FedEx'd your mom. If you want to find out how Tre got his mouth taped shut, you can watch the show on YouTube. Billie also played Good Riddance on the Howard Stern Show that day.

Wow yeah this is it. It's not just that the country/government does bad things, every country/government does. It's that they'll be altering and censoring their own show as a result. Considering the Pansy Division thing it really does seem wrong for them to play a venue where a queer act like that would not only not be welcome but likely to be arrested or worse, and to play a show where they can't freely include any song/part of their usual show. Idk how they can play songs about standing against authority when their setlist/show content will have been limited by censorship laws. It's really nothing of any consequence to anything except the band's reputation and fanbase (whether they play UAE or not won't affect the country or human rights there). But it's lame.
