Thanks, this is super helpful.  No power banks allowed in?  Will they enforce this?

In case you’re still wondering, they didn’t check my bag at all but there are several other security points, so they might?

So no updates on this show even though they must be about to finish now. Just saw one person on X saying they could hear the show.

Just saw a clip of the show on greendayinc, the crowd looked kinda lame tbh. Nobody was jumping or moving around.

Good Riddance was kinda different tonight. 😅

You forget during the show how special this setlist is. I‘ve never imagined hearing Having A Blast, Chump, Pulling Teeth or She‘s A Rebel, Homecoming or Whatsername live. Also, 36 songs in total is special and something you don‘t see many bands do. 

 

Right?!! I feel that if in a "normal" tour we got any one of those songs (and so many others! Coming clean, FOD, All by myself, Novacaine, Extraordinary Girl, etc) we'd be over the moon. Here it's so many of them that as you say, we forget what a privilege it is to be getting each of them individually. And American Idiot in full and in order, it was my teenage dream. It's still hard for me to wrap my head around it and I get so emotional with it.

It was way better than Berlin show! They weren’t in a rush, Billie was making more interactions with the crowd and he pulled a girl on stage to play The Goid Riddance :wub:

But again - too many VIPs!! It was at least 150 of them, but I think it could be more. The stage was way bigger this time, so few people from the regular queue made it to the barrier, but still - just few and more in front of the screens than in front of the stage.

Here's a pic from a video of the girl playing guitar while Billie sat down

I thought I'd heard somewhere that there have been 300 VIP tickets sold for each show of the tour but I don't know if that was someone's guess or it's true. 

Glad you enjoyed it more than Berlin

Tré has also posted a video of Good Riddance

That sucks! It was similar in Lyon, and I find it really unfair that fans that have the commitment to queue for more than 12 hours are being priced out of getting a good spot in the barricade. You wanna sell VIP tickets? Fine, sell them, but make it truly VIP and sell only a few so that people who queue also have a  fair chance. Or just make a new more expensive section at the front of the stage, a VIP circle if you will, but at least like that you don't give people the hope of getting to the barricade by queueing from the morning, because that is truly disappointing when after all that, you still cannot get to the front row, or if you do you have to be super far from where the band actually is and stuck in front of a screen instead.

Also did anyone else catch the moment where someone in the front wanted to hand Billie a Ukrainian flag and he took it, looked at it and changed his mind/handed it back? 😅

It does sound at the moment like the tickets are not really VIP or GC. I only ever once bought a VIP when a show fell on my birthday in 2017 (well it was actually a gift) but we were only 17 people (and two of those had seats) so other fans queuing all day could easily get barricade. I think on the RevRad tour there were 200 for sale for each show but most people didn't buy them (except Rose Bowl I think VIP had sold out)

That’s the true VIP. That’s fair to both sides. The VIP this tour is just a scam. Even if you have it you still need to queue, cause showing up just at the doors time won’t give you a good spot (a lot of VIPs didn’t get the barricade in Berlin). If it would be like €10 or €20 more than a regular pit ticket - fine. But the price difference is actually really big and VIPs are just fucking expensive. 

The barricade should be for the most dedicated fans, not just for the richest.

It really is a scam now and like you say most fans are locked out by the richest. I've heard of old time fans in the US having to get tickets in the nosebleeds because they can no longer afford the other ticket prices. Very sad

I had VIP for both German shows. There were about definitely way too many of those tickets. I totally agree with you. I don't mind queuing despite having them, because the main reason I buy these Early Entry tickets is that I tend to getting panic attacks when the queue around me gets too packed. So Early Entry just makes the concert a little more relaxed (if the organisation isn't shit like it was in Berlin) for me.

But yeah, to make it a fair thing for everybody there should be way less of those tickets. 

By the way the show was just amazing! The guys were absolutely on fire and the crowd was definitely much more relaxed than in Berlin. And American Idiot in full is just an absolute dream come true 🥹

Yes!! No idea why he did that, but I thought that was very uncool. That was the low light of the show for me 🤷🏻‍♀️

I've got some great pics from the show, and I have the whole Good Riddance video including her getting pulled up on stage and the ending with her... not sure how to post them in here though?

I mean, he did sing „from Ukraine to the Middle East“ in Jesus of Suburbia …

I think he has no problem waving around lgbtq pride flags but maybe waving around a flag from another country feels too much? maybe it would have been a different thing if someone had handed him a german flag because their audience was german. (Although i‘m glad he didnt lmao) 

i agree that it was an awkward and weird moment though 😅 i guess I won’t pass judgement though until i know his reasons for it (which I don’t and probably never will)

I think artists are just having to be more careful these days about making any kind of statement. Like there's always someone who'll be offended? Maybe anyway

When it comes to showing country flags he always wants only the one of the country when the gig is. Once I’ve tried to give him Polish flag at show in a different country and he was like „no, I need the correct one”. I believe he showed Ukrainian flag at one of the Hella Mega shows, but it was more of a statement, cause topic of the war was more recent. Of course the war is still going on and he changed the lyrics to JoS, but also maybe he just didn’t realize the flag was Ukrainian :lol:

Yes, that is what I found odd too, that he had no issue with changing the lyrics but wouldn't take the flag. That's what makes me think it was more of an issue of not wanting to wave another country's flag, than of not wanting to make a statement. But still it was awkward and definitely not a high point of the concert.

I'd get that with a Palestinian flag, as that is quite polemic at the moment, but with regards to Ukraine everyone in the western world are more or less in the same page.

He took my Venezuelan flag in the US back in the 21stCB tour. But I do think that's different because there they are playing at home and they take visitors' flags 😂 but yeah, I suspect this is probably what happened, that he didn't want to take a flag other than the country he was playing.
