Libertine Angel Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Yeah, bands don't get the final say at all. Booking agents, management and then label people are the ones who decide everything from venues to supports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it’s possible who they’re using now is the same one they used since RevRad but I’m sure management has some input and can request things, it’s his job to look out for the band’s welfare as well as maximizing promotion. It’s a balance, but I don’t know exactly how it works. I heard they changed their booking agent after that tour. Makes sense. I thought the tour schedule wasn't reasonable - they had with shows in the US, Europe and Japan all in the same week or something like that.

RedundantIdiot Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I have to agree with the comments about the UK Rev Rad tour: three arena shows within 40 miles of each other (Leeds, Manchester, Sheffield), two London gigs and a cancelled Scotland gig. Hopefully the gigs are a bit better spread out next time with a gig in Scotland. On a different note I wonder if we'll get the proper lyrics to this in one of the songs? 🤔 Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to prove your fantasy. If you drink two liters if water today, Billie will bring you onstage to play with Green Day. And the album will be released sooner. Drinking all that water will shorten the wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a festival yes it's normal to play all the hits. But for a Green Day show in example: an arena, I'm hoping for a more ''fan setlist'' Like songs we don't hear often.

Not that I complained about that at all, I live closeby to all three places and went to each of those shows. but yeah, I think more dates in more spread out locations would be great. Possibly some double nights at some venues too? And I hope they play Leeds Festival... I'm going for the first time this year and will likely go in years to come as well.

Mashmister Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 It wouldn’t surprise me massively if Green Day were the secret set this year, it could be their comeback show and if the rumours of an August single are true, it would fit perfectly.

Nah, not gonna happen. THe rumoured secret sets seem much more believable. We don't even have a hint of a new single at the moment so I can't see them being in this country four weeks from now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s their manager, he’s subletting his apartment starting around the time we anticipate things might start to happen with GD promotion, and there was recently a going away thing for him with a cake that said “Good luck in LA”. It’s not fantasy, it’s logic.

Jankowski576 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 While this thread has been really roundabout it’s so much better to be a part of this fan base than some others. I’ve been keeping an eye on Blink 182 reddit and it’s just people fine with how bad they are live and just accepting mediocrity. Meanwhile our thread just slaughtered our favorite bands lyricist for 10 pages because we know what they’re capable of 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
