They've not been great tbh They could be amazing live for all I know but however good they are they just don't have a reputation for it the way GD does, not even close. Being more popular with the young generation counts for something but it's not all that matters when it comes to selling concert tickets. I guess could be wrong but I feel pretty sure GD are the biggest live draw out of these bands. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw FOB in 2015 and, unless they've improved, I wouldn't advise people getting their hopes up for a blast while they perform. They were great at playing their songs, but other than that they were quite bland. For sure they would get forgotten about 30 seconds into GD's set. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross_19 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 FOB shows have a strange dynamic as well. Its rare that the lead singer isn't the one that talks to the crowd. Honestly when I saw them, other than singing every song Patrick was mute. It was odd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mary Daze Posted September 7, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 7, 2019 I’ll join this conversation around here! FOB and Weezer will definitely NOT be headlining/ getting as much stage time as GD in Germany at least!!! I wouldn’t mind GD doing a tour with those two bands if: - ticket prices were still below € 85 per show - Weezer doesn’t play for more than 45 minutes - FOB doesn’t play for more than 1 hour - GD play for AT LEAST 2 hours - Bohemian Rhapsody and the drunk bunny don’t get cancelled - Weezer and FOB fans aren’t absolute dicks (yet to find out about this) 4 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe. Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 If Weezer and FoB had been announced after tickets went on sale nobody would be batting an eyelid. Theyre just supports! A stadium show can fund some better supports! That’s it! It’s not as deep as everyone’s making it out to be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atomic Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 (edited) Sorry if this is a stupid question, but if the tour is indeed real, what does it mean? will green day have shorter setlists? and if so, will they ever tour the next album alone? honestly im not that interested in FOB or Weezer, but seeing Green Day is my dream since I was like 10 Edited September 7, 2019 by Atomic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not as deep as everyone’s making it out to be! I don’t know what makes you think that. This is not being presented as Green Day on tour with special guests. This is a package tour with it’s own title. The name, the merch, the flyers, the separate social media, everything supports that. This is being promoted by all three bands in an equal manner. This is no way a simple Green Day tour with bigger opening bands. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian's Inferno! Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 There's no way FOB is a support band on this tour for GD. I could see Weezer being one but no way FOB. They are currently MORE POPULAR than Green Day right now. Their recent material has done way better than Green Day's in terms of sales and streaming numbers. The fact that what we've been hearing about the tour is just Green Day, FOB and Weezer and not one band in particular being favoured over the others so it just seems like each band will be given equal sets I'm not familiar with how tours work but is it possible that you'll have the option of being able to see only GD without paying the full price for all 3 acts?

Goofygoldfish Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I am just about coming to terms with this idea, but no way will I ever come to terms with them not headlining when teamed with those 2 bands. GD have to be the headliners, even if as some say, they have same length set (and that had better be 2 hrs+) but GD must play last. I feel anything else would be really disrespectful to their status, both current and past. I've seen Weezer before - they were harmless enough, and don't mind seeing them again. Am more than happy to bounce around to them. However not so much if they are the reason for higher priced tickets, and having to compete with their fans for near stage spots. FOB, similar, but I haven't seen them before. I don't think this is a money grabber for the bands, as no way will they make triple the profit of 3 single shows (unless the tickets are sky high), also some fans would have gone to 2 or 3 of the single shows and are getting a bargain with 3 in 1. I will go to whatever show they put on, and as someone else said about 4278926782648197 pages ago, there is no support band that would put me off seeing GD. But I really do hope that they do their own tour as well, and maybe some club shows (question - is there an 'official' capacity that it needs to be below to count as a club show?) Super proud that I've finally caught up enough that I can actually post in time with the current conversation! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe. Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I don’t know this so feel free to prove me wrong, but have Fall Out Boy ever sold out stadiums? I can’t recall them selling out Wembley or the Emirates for example? I’m unaware of them selling out a Hyde park style gig, other than Reading where they had a very strong sub to help push tickets, and am 90% sure they didn’t sell out of day tickets. I can only speak from a UK perspective, but just because their latest album or whatever has been more popular, or they have more Spotify listeners or whatever, doesn’t mean they have the same pulling power at gigs. I can’t see Green Day opening for them. Maybe FoB would get a special, longer set before Green Days standard set, but I can’t see them shortening the main attractions set 23 minutes ago, pacejunkie punk said: I don’t know what makes you think that.

Because Weezer definitely aren’t as big as Green Day in the US or UK, compare their latest tours. Pretty sure the same comparison with FoB works too, although I can’t say for certain 3 minutes ago, Beerjeezus said: Yeah, most probably, but I'm still not interested in this.

Popular Post Asa. Posted September 7, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 7, 2019 I dont know more than anyone else does, but if I had to guess, I imagine Weezer would perform first, followed by FOB, with Green Day closing. Just what makes the most sense. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misery11 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 No offense to anyone but ya'll are crazy if you think this is going to be a small thing. It's the Hella Mega TOUR. Not the Hella Mega a few shows during the summer. No way FOB/Weezer are just supports. This is basically Pop Disaster 2. It's likely going to come to the UK too as its already been leaked for Paris. And with the news of all three bands releasing singles on Tuesday it's gonna be planned to be something big. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
