Beerjeezus Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I know how weird this sounds but I got a source in the events industry according to whom Holo Mega might be considered to replace Hella Mega in case travel still will be complicated in the coming years. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacejunkie punk Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 If people could pack into a live space to see them, why would you need holograms? Just to avoid the need for the band and crew to travel? And if it was streamed virtually they could also appear live. Holograms are for dead people. This is just bizarre. Sounds like a joke suggestion somebody made. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grohl Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 They could just do a cool virtual tour with livestreams if Hella Mega can't happen. Tickets would be much cheaper too. I wouldn't mind paying for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Dude Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Holo Molo Tolo. Fantasy is better than reality anyway. It could allow everyone to have the perfect view. Heck, you could be on stage with them. Interact with the band. Backstage passes for all. Want to hear King for a Day 50 times in a row instead of good songs? Hit that replay button!. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What, shown at a drive in cinema type set up? Could work but I think there are lots of countries, UK included, that don’t have the drive in set up, but maybe it will come.

Sounds like a joke suggestion somebody made. Total agreement. The problem is packing in fans, not the band. A livestream with like a drive-in makes more sense; lots of concerts are being held that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Slave To The Network Posted October 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2020 I'm not going to a GD show to just see holograms of them. I could just watch videos of them at home and it would be the same experience minus the money and being around other people (so, win win). I'm paying to see a real, living, breathing Billie, not a cyber ghost! What a completely stupid idea. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jengd Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I just assumed it would be to let them and their whole crews avoid all the different quarantine issues, especially in Europe right now. Every country has different measures and you can hardly run a big tour if you need to quarantine for 14 days each time you change country!

MarriedtoMikeDirnt Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I hope this is a joke. No way in hell I'm buying $250 tickets to see a damn hologram. I had a plan to get my hind quarters on stage and everything. If I don't get to hug Mike Dirnt, I will be livid. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IcyMoffatt Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I hope it doesn't happen, because people paid a fortune to see the bands live. They certainly don't want holograms! Unfortunately, it might happen if there is no solution against the virus. The tour can't start, for example, in 5 years from now when the album came out earlier this year. Some artists offered some hologram concerts in the past and they still managed to get all (near) sold out shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squashie Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Story of the Year is doing live streamed concerts for 3 of their albums (playing each one in full). A digital ticket for one show is $15 USD and it is live - no pre-recorded crap. Here is the link to more information about it. Their next show is Oct 29. https://ghostsignal.co/ I saw some insta stories from their first live streamed concert and it sounded really good. I did not purchase but have been tempted. If it timing is delayed further, I could maybe see GD doing something like this, but I think it's a low possibility. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grohl Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Livestream are no replacement for concerts but with everything up in the air, I would be thrilled if Green Day did a livestream show. It's at least something while we're going through this drought. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely not a replacement, but it's a way to get to the fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post pacejunkie punk Posted October 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2020 I thought they might consider one as a fundraiser for the Golden Bull. The bar is supposedly planning on streaming live shows. Green Day would be a great one to kick off with. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
