No Brains Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 I'm in England. I'm hoping for solo show tbh. I need to get pre sale. But probably thousands of others do too. It's going to be nerve racking trying to get tickets 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I'd love for them to come to Greenfield again, that's my favourite festival in Switzerland. It's just such a great size, around 30'000 people and great location, very well organised etc. Equally, I'd be over the moon if they went to TRNSMT, my absolute favourite music festival, but they've never been there, though they did play at T in the park in 2005 and were also all set to play at Bellahouston Park in 2017 (the same location as TRNSMT), before that event then got cancelled. Anyone remember that whole drama? Don't remind me😭😭 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarPunk94 Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 99% they will headline german Rock am Ring festival i reaaaally hope they will atleast play some own shows this time around (in germany) in 2022 they also headlined this festival, and only played a berlin show, but you couldnt go to the berlin show if you went to Rock am Ring because its almost at the same time (with camping days etc) so after 2017 (last time) i wish for more own shows in germany 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see Glastonbury happening, but happy to be proven wrong. Reading can't happen based on their US dates. So that makes BST or Glasto (if any), and I agree they're not a very 'Glastonbury' band, even though they'd smash it. Glasto also don't pay very high rates at all, so BST looks the best fit for them imo if they do play some sort of festival. That's if they do of course, they might just go alone and play their own gigs and nothing else.

jengd Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 They were asked, around Revrad I think, about Glastonbury and it just wasn't on their radar but Billie Joe has been to Glastonbury since so at least he is now more familiar with it. They have been big on retro or legacy acts, which hasn't always gone that well, for the last few years so who knows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verycool99 Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Im hoping for an easier show to get to in the north this time around. Huddersfield was quite awkward especially with it being a smaller place, a weird choice. Ended up going to Glasgow as well with a days notice. Hope they bring back Manchester or Leeds for this tour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pouty bitch Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 If they could come to Newcastle (or even Sunderland if it's a stadium tour) around the 19th of May that would be cool Not getting my hopes up though since they've forgotten the north east exists for the past 2 decades 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeJennsitized Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Huddersfield was a very strange choice of location 😂 I want them back in Belfast, if they came to Boucher Road they’d be a 10 min drive from their album cover 😏 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think Glasto bringing Guns n Roses in last year may have opened a whole new door for them, given GnR were previously another very 'un-Glasto' band. Quite honestly I think they'd be perfect headliners, tons of bangers that everyone knows and a huge audience, but BST looks far, far more nailed on in all honesty.

jengd Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 I would love them to do Glasto as we always get great tv coverage of it in the UK. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewe Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 I'm hoping for an early May or late June date in Italy. Or maybe an arena tour, would be the first time that I see them indoor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, Green Day were always pretty unlikely for there, it would just be awesome. Similarly, Green Day have never played Download but they'd undoubtedly fit in there. Again, I think BST are more likely, they likely pay quite well and it's more of a day gig than an actual festival, but Download is certainly possibility if dates allow. The likes of Rock AM Ring and Rock Werchter are quite likely too I'd expect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to both shows last year (RiP and Berlin), but it was indeed stressful (and expensive 😵💫). Hoping for a 2017-esque tour this time!

Like Wacken or something. But could be wrong. Seems like SP are only playing in USA with them, right? I mean when Green Day hopefully headline RaR/RiP festival SP are in UK, but they‘re playing 6(?) shows there? Idk. I like SP as an opening act like Rise Against in 2010 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jengd Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 I’m not convinced they’ll do download, it usually heavier/screamo (is it still called that 😂) Avenged Sevenfold/BmTH type stuff. Reading &Leeds, absolutely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonofSuburbia Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 I'm hoping for more than one UK date. Can see them headlining BST again, but wanting a few more shows dotted around - Liverpool, Manchester or Leeds ideally. Had to sell my Hella Mega ticket because of the train strikes so really don't want to miss out this time round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedundantIdiot Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Went to the Huddersfield HM gig and the organisation, the number of toilets, and the food “options” were shocking. If they do a football stadium next year, it needs to be a venue that does these things better. I was at Leeds arena last night for Fall Out Boy and I hope that GD pick that venue if they do an arena tour. I live in Newcastle, but Leeds it is a much better venue than Newcastle in terms of fan experience, which is why many bands like GD avoid Newcastle. The only criticism I had of Leeds last night was the horrific queue for the ladies between the support act and FOB- had we stayed in the queue rather than walking away from it, we would not have been back in our seats in time.
