Green Day will be playing Dookie and American Idiot in Jakarta, according to the promoters. They also said: “It was actually quite difficult to invite them. The process took quite a long time, I even had to come to LA, I was invited there.”

Interesting that it says Green Day will be playing Dookie and American Idiot at this show too

Hm, thought I saw a conversation about the support act being homophobic but now don’t know where I saw it.

I think this is concerning the show in Malaysia and not the show in Indonesia (but maybe I have missed something else, besides Tre being a grandparent :lol: ).

so are they playing Dookie/AI or not
also i have a gut feeling that this time around if we do get a random deep cut it'll be from 39/smooth, UNO or Father Of All (Pollyanna included)

They're only playing Dookie and AI in full in Australia, the other shows will likely get a similar setlist to te one we've been seeing all year long.

I have zero sense of time when it comes to the part of the world they’re playing in and was surprised to see it’s probably been over for hours already lol.

LOVE Forever Now staying on the setlist!

Full show

 

 

I think that's the first time that Billie sings the "I ain't gonna stand in line no more" just like studio version, actually. 

Really hope that Forever Now makes it in to the festival sets as well, even though I doubt it. 

Also, Welcome To Paradise is a really good "opener for the Dookie songs" after TADIKM

The taxi driver who brought me into town said 'I can't believe you came to JAKARTA just to see Green Day' and I can't believe I'm coming here to say I did indeed go to Jakarta just to see Green Day. 😂

Back when I first became a fan, I read about the crazy Jakarta show in 1996 and thought I'd like to see them here one day, but I never thought I'd seriously do it. Since I was taking my mum to Japan anyway, I bought a ticket as soon as they went on sale and as it got closer I was like, 'what the fuck have I done?' 

But I got here and arrived at the venue around noon. There was no shade in the queue and I seriously thought I was coming down with heatstroke. Actually got up to leave at one point because I felt so faint but I dunked a whole bottle of water on my head and cooling towel (highly recommend the Sukeen ones) and started to feel better. I got lost on the way in because the place was huge but thanks to a Singaporean fan and some lovely Indonesian people I got onto the barrier where the crowd was split. The staff gave out plenty of water so by the time Rebellion Rose finished I felt much better. Rebellion Rose were really good. 

That was the loudest crowd I've ever been in for Bohemian Rhapsody and that carried on into American Dream. I was impressed! Haven't heard anyone screaming that song so loud before. The crowd gradually got a bit quieter, probably because of the heat. Several people had to be pulled out.

I'd decided I wouldn't jump or go too crazy because of the potential heatstroke but I couldn't help it when Paper Lanterns started. Loved hearing that song again and Forever Now!!! Hands down one of the best Green Day songs, especially live, and I never thought I'd be fortunate enough to hear it again. 

There were quite a lot of phones and Billie told everyone to put them away during Longview. Of course he then had us all get them back out for the flashlights in Boulevard.

The girl who got onstage for Know Your Enemy forgot the lyrics and Billie was so sweet about it. She sang the chorus to make up for it and she rocked! As a Muslim it made me so happy to see someone in hijab onstage 🥹 Billie behaved perfectly appropriately too, just giving her a fist bump. Unrelated to the gig itself but it was surreal to see a musholla at a Green Day show, with the sign in the Saviors font and everything😂

I ended up going as crazy as ever throughout the show but the heat exhaustion must have passed because I never felt ill again. Bobby Sox was the highlight for me. Billie asked 'do you want to be my girlfriend?' and 'do you want to be my boyfriend?' before starting the song and both times men and women screamed 'YEEEEES!!!'

When Billie came out for Good Riddance, he joked, 'Jesus, how many people here can play Good Riddance? Well, I can play it too!' He asked if we wanted him to play it or someone from the crowd and everyone roared 'YOU!' He said he'd play it and 'I won't mess it up.' He did burp though.

There were people from all over at the show - Philippines, Singapore, China, Saudi, Korea and of course me from England 😆

So happy you made your wish of seeing them in Jakarta a reality!! And thanks for the recount of show, sounds like a great one!!

I recorded Wake Me Up When September Ends and the band leaving the stage. I'll upload them to YouTube when I get home.

Way too many phones out in Macau and Jakarta seems like it ruins the vibe
