Green Day US summer stadium tour 2024 w/Smashing Pumpkins, Rancid, Linda Linda's

[Hermione]

Poor Billie! I guess it's not surprising when he's giving it his all doing these super long setlists night after night, my voice was messed up from singing along at one show lol. Hope he's better soon. It's nice that the show is rescheduled instead of cancelled.

No joke though, I would seriously love to see Kill The DJ get put into rotation. 

And I know everyone says King For A Day has been overplayed, but I want it back just so Billie can wear a thong again.

That would be awesome. And King For a Day is the best and I will never get tired of it

So true. I love that song to death.

I respectfully disagree sir. No need to hear all these songs live for the 1000th time. Play me a show with 2 non-single songs from each album, and throw in J.A.R and some B-sides for fun.

There's lots of Trilogy song in there and it's kind of realistic, but if I had the power to control Green Day, THIS would be what they play, MUHUHAHAHAHAHAHa

Good review here https://xpn.org/2024/08/11/green-day-philly-concert-review/. And this one https://www.cgwall.com/trending/green-day-concert-philadelphia/#:~:text=The evening was set to,canceled due to the weather.

So apparently the event with the Chicago radio show was postponed because of Billie’s voice. It seems like this tour really took it out of him. Hope he’s fine for the rest of the dates.

They talked about it on the Q101 radio show this morning. This was mention in the GD News thread today too.

Jason Freese coming back Thursday just announced! 

[That Dude]

Every member of Green Day can sing.  Just pass the mike between Mike, Tre, Jason, Jason, Kevin and Coley and we're good.    Jillie Bow can sit in a big non-singing booth with a cape and crown and watch as they SLAY. 

 

[stories and songs]

Hope Billie is feeling better today and is ready for the Chicago folks! In the moment in Philly, I really thought he sounded fantastic up until he said he fucked up his voice at the end. Now as I’m listening back to footage I and others took, I’m realizing that his issues clearly started earlier in the night and were probably just pushed over the edge during Bobby Sox.  I honestly thought he seemed a little distracted/maybe not as happy as he has been on this tour during the Philly show and put it down to performing in the rain. But now I think he was kinda pushing through vocally and realizing it was worsening.

Don’t forget about us, the fans! We know all the words, we know the music even better than the band! We don’t even need teleprompter tech! Hey go listen to the Seville 2020 show! Billie just doesn’t even need to sing his own songs anymore!

You get up there and sing Do Da Da and I'll sing THE SAINTS ARE COMING.

I was just going to say that. Band feels a sudden need to play Bab's Uvula Who? but doesn't remember the lyrics? Don't worry my man, we got you. Hell, the whole band might not remember how to play it, but I assure you they can find a guitarist a bassist and a drummer in the crowd who know it. 😂

[Q-Man]

What do we think the odds are of a second leg of this tour or even a separate tour shortly after?

as much as I wish they would, I think the chances are pretty slim. If anything, perhaps headlining some summer festivals in the US in 2025 after they rest from their Australia/Asia shows.

Went to the Chicago show while having food poisoning!  Luckily I was ok since I didn’t eat or drink anything there.  I just felt weak though, lots of standing!  I recently saw blink 182 and Tom performed with food poisoning so I figured if he can perform with it, I could watch a show with it.  

[Montclare]

Did the Chicago show last night.  I got there at 1pm and there were only about 15 people there.  Even by 3pm, it was only up to maybe 30-40.  I was really surprised by that, but hey, good news for getting up front.  The staff at Wrigley massively screwed up the wristbands.  They were supposed to give yellow wristbands to people in the pit, but instead gave us pink, so when we got out to the field, the field staff wouldn’t let us in.  Had to run back and get yellow ones; by this time, they figured out they were giving out the wrong wristbands, but it basically meant the people who showed up at 3pm got better spots than the ones who showed up at 7am.  Luckily I still got a spot on the barricade at the end of the crosswalk on Mike’s side, which is what I wanted anyway (past couple shows I’ve been on Jason’s side, so I wanted to switch it up).

Pre GD- Guitarist from the Linda Lindas tried to toss a pic into the audience and it landed on Alice Baxley.  The Pumpkins drum was massively mic’d up; you could feel it in the floor.  It was great to hear Bullet with Butterfly Wings; I’d put it right behind Smells Like Teen Spirit for the seminal songs of the 90s.  There was a guy massively headbanging during the Pumpkins while wearing a Taylor Swift vest. Tre was watching the first few Pumpkins songs from the side.

The show was great.  Felt like I got run over by a truck by the end of the night; surprised I’m not more sore today.  Got hit by at least 6 crowd surfers in the head, neck, and shoulder (after the first one, I was like, didn’t I have a ponytail in?  They somehow managed to remove my ponytail holder).  People around me were great and kept asking me if I was okay.  It was like I was in the designated crowd surfer lane.   During Minority, Billie highlighted Coley, and I think forgot to mention Mike.  They almost forgot to bring out Blue to him afterwards.  It was great seeing the Saviors songs; I was kind of surprised they kept Bobby Sox in after his voice issues, but he sounded great all night.  After they finished Dookie, it was like, wow, and we still have a whole album to go!

I’ll be seeing them next week in Milwaukee.  You can tell you’re getting older when your first thought at the end of the show is “I get to do this again next week!” and then your body says “I have to do this again next week?!”.

Nice show recap! Say, is there like only one match booth or are there multiple spread out?

I also went to the Chicago show last night! It was a last minute decision, but I scored a good ticket for a good price. I've never seen Green Day in a stadium before and it's a wild experience. I haven't seen Green Day in four years; the last time I saw them was in St. Louis for the NHL All Star Game. Seeing them in such a huge space is truly a spectacle. It's like their arena shows but cranked up x1000. It was so thrilling to have them up on stage with the pyro, fireworks, and balloons! I really enjoyed the stage setup. They had some really cool graphics for the big screens with plenty of references to Saviors, Dookie, and AI. The inflatables were cool, especially the plane that flew around the crowd. Though I couldn't help but think they must have hired the same effects company as blink-182  

It's crazy how good Green Day sounds. There were so many times where I was singing so hard I almost thought I was listening to the album. Then I would look on stage like "oh shit they're right there!" I'm so glad Billie made a speedy recovery. He sounded fantastic. I was also sitting in a great section in the bleachers. Not only did I have a great view, the people around me were fun! There was a family with a little kid seeing what had to be his first GD show. The dad was singing his heart out too. In the row before me were a cute couple who kept making up their own silly dances for each song. There were also several older fans who were jumping up and down! You love to see it. 

Other random things I remember:

- Billie saying "This is fucking me up right now" during Give Me Novocaine

- Billie messing up the lyrics to I think Extraordinary Girl and ...I think Emenius Sleepus

- Billie putting a cubs hat and a random cowboy hat

- Butt wiggling

- Kevin. Just Kevin

- Billie shouting out Chicago, Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin throughout the night....He could've stopped at Chicago since we're in the city proper but I'll allow it

- Billie laughing when Mike and Tre started dancing around him during "Good Riddance"

Overall, I had a great time. Not sure if I would pay for a show at Wrigley again. It's a clusterfuck. I didn't expect it be so difficult to navigate inside of Wrigley. It was packed! Getting home was a mess; luckily my bf was parked in the area and took me home. And as much as I liked the show, I prefer to see the band in a smaller venue even if that is an arena like United Center. Still, it was a great night. Definitely gave me a good dose of happiness I've been missing lately.

I only saw the one outside, but I didn't look inside since I was running for the pit.

There were multiple set up inside the stadium along with the vans outside the venue.

He’s geography challenged. I remember seeing them one time in Camden (South Jersey, right near Philadelphia) and he was like “we’re basically in New York!” And I was like honey…no.
