Not sure if this was already shared, but here are some encouraging pics for Fall Out Boy that Mike posted on Instagram. I found these on the Green Day LIVE on Tour Facebook page.

At first glance, I honestly thought the hot dog with the party hat on was a dick LOL.

Lollllllll!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for posting these and sharing your hot dog observation.

I’m happy Mike shared the support pics for Fall Out Boy ❤️ and making it look like a kitten is in the band.

Mike is so weird and funny I wonder if the hot dog was on purpose too 😆

I saw the thing for FOB online and some dude posted saying it was terrible they did that for FOB and not for Mark from Blink who has cancer... Makes me think of how toxic social media culture has become now. 

What is everyone's thoughts on the setlist? Just seems so predictable and boring to me. I get there's less time, they're sharing the stage with other bands. Some people online were saying the time restrictions force them to have to play only their hits but I see some small changes that could be made that would make it more intriguing.

Pre going tonight thanks to someone on Twitter...I thought the setlist was lame but after being there—the energy people had for the songs was something special. I was in the stands and not a person was sitting, even people who were sitting for Weezer and The Interrupters. People were so into Green Day it was great to see and people lost it song after song. This setlist was for the masses and I’ve come to term with it. 

Also, cause I was in the stands I paid more attention to the video screens and holy hell they should make this a dvd concert thing. The production on it was amazing.

So glad you had a great time. The production does look awesome from the photos and videos I've seen

And this has got to be the whole point about the set list for this tour.  I know many of us would rather have just GD but this is what we are getting and no other set list makes sense.

Is it awful that I would prefer it if FOB and Weezer couldn't play and I just got to see Green Day? 😅  Of course, the circumstances for that to happen would mean someone involved with those bands became sick, so obviously I don't really want that to actually happen. There's a small, selfish part of me that wouldn't be upset if it did, though.

The only show where Billie wears a tie is the show in DC. Presidential candidacy confirmed 😌

It's possible LOL. Also wondering what Kermit the Frog has to do with anything LOL.

I mean, FOB is part of their tour but Mark/Blink are not. Yes it it would be a nice gesture for Mark but they can't be expected to stand there and give shout-outs to everyone in the music scene who is sick; it would take the whole show. Didn't they already post stuff for Mark online back when he announced his illness anyway?

Overall I am happy with the setlist. They have the hits and they have a broad range of stuff over their career even if not super deep cuts, and yes, they can't play as much as they normally would when they have to share with two other bands. Little changes would be nice but with a show every other night, I fear that could get confusing for them. Also I guess they are keeping it fair in that everyone gets the same show regardless of what location they attend.

My only change would be bring back KFAD and the thong. 🤣

The 3rd commandment - according to Drunk bunny - is:

"Thou shalt never wash the drunk bunny suit, no matter how filthy it becomes."

Definitely not the worst tour ever. This tour sounded awesome back in 2019 (excluding those who hates FOB & Weezer way too much ), but since covid has happened, it derailed all the plans and this tour turned from exciting to ''just get over it'' category pretty quickly. I really wanted to hear Stab You In The Heart live, but it just wasn't meant to be. Goddammit.

Oh yeah, I dislike RR Tour more than this. Hearing Forever Now & Jesus of Suburbia back-to-back (or with AI in-between) every night was overwhelming and got stale pretty fucking fast.

I’ve always wanted to hear Dirty Rotten Bastards live!!!

I'm still having so much post concert depression from seeing GD on 7/27😣. I was gonna try and see them again in a different state for the HMT, but looking at plane tickets(I don't have a license yet) it was saying on Delta/ Southwest/ United that it would cost me $800 just to go from Atlanta to the other states the tour is gonna be in.

 

2 questions... any of you who have experience with buying plane tickets(I've also never been on a plane before), know how to get reasonably priced tickets? Ie/ $300 or under? 
 

if all else fails😞 and I have to wait til next tour to see Green Day again, do you guys think the wait will be as long as the RevRad tour was? Like will I have to wait 4 years again from now to see em again?

It's always a 4 years pace with Green Day

I usually use a site called skyscanner that groups all the flights together for every airline and lists it from lowest to highest. That might help.

If you’re willing to make a couple of stops it might be cheaper but airfare is expensive right now regardless.  If you’re gonna take a day to travel anyway maybe Greyhound or Amtrak?

Thanks! I'll check that out.

Ah I see. And I'll be sure to check Greyhound and Amtrak both out.

They usually do 2 leg in a tour.

But this is a totally unknown situation.

Maybe they'll drop a new record later next year, and they'll tour soon after

A lot factors in to the cost of the ticket. Airline, destination, where you're flying out of & returning to, how far out you're booking, etc.

I'm a Southwest person. I fly them pretty exclusively for personal travel. I like that I get 2 checked bags free. I've never paid over $350 for a round trip ticket (usually Kansas City/Wichita to destination & back).

When traveling for work, I fly American because my regional airport is American and my employer prefers we fly out of the local airport. My tickets are always over $350 for those trips because I'm going from a regional airport to an international one.

When I was planning on going to the Chicago date in 2020, I was looking at flying from my regional to Chicago (O'Hare, direct flight) and it was looking to be about $250/$300 round trip for the flights. And I was looking at flights 4 months out. I only looked at the regional for this because it was a direct flight and a very short trip - to the show & back - and i didn't want to spend 5 hours, round trip on the road just to park and jump on a plane. My regional airport is 10 minutes from my house.

So, yeah. It really just depends on your current location and where you plan to go. The best thing to do is book far out because flights go up in cost as you get closer to your departure date.

I see, thanks for the tips! Yeah I was hoping to go to the September 6th show (Seattle, WA) so it would be Atlanta to Seattle. I'm gonna keep looking at flights til they go down/ I find a good price.

Good luck. I doubt they will drop because the airline industry is having pilot shortages and some airlines are actually cancelling flights because of this. Also, fuel is $$$$ so yeah...
