It seems it will be their first time playing in Greece.

Love that they're playing several new places. 😊❤️

Looks like a festival run this summer. 🫣

After many years, they're finally playing in the land of my people.

You guys have no idea how important this is to me. I'd prefer to die than miss this.

Happy for you @petros!!

I love that they are going to countries they've never been to before, or countries where they haven't been in decades. This is shaping out to be a real world tour. Only South America missing for now, but I have the feeling they will cover it too.

I was a bit surprised they have never been to Greece though. So much European touring, you'd think they would have visited at least during the AI or 21stCBD when they were big everywhere.

 So happy for you! I so understand that excitement 🥹

I just bought tickets. My first ever GD concert. I am so excited! I remember back in 2005, the 10-year old me sending a message to a local greek radio station asking if they could confirm a rumor about GD planning to play a show in Greece that year😆. Now i understand that attending a live show can bring as much as joy as  hearing a new record, and for fans that don΄t have this privilege, keeping the passion for the band high can be difficult. I am looking forward to this show, which i am sure will be packed with people full of special love for this band!!

Taking a little holiday to Athens next year 😎

Of the festivals they have announced so far for next year, this is the first one for which I'm considering to go.

There is a high probability that I will actually be in Greece the last week of June for work, meaning I'd only have to pay the round trip from that city to Athens, as the company would cover my ticket from France to Greece. So I could do this relatively cheap. Also, I've always wanted to go Athens, it's high on my list, but haven't had chance to yet. And the fact that it's their first time there makes it extra especial and exciting. Also, it's my partner's birthday on the day of the concert, and although he's quite sick of Green Day by now, I think a festival would be fun and I could sell him on the idea.

The main hold back is that Greece on July sounds like literal hell.

Of course I got tickets immediate as they went out.

It is and especially Athens, but go for it if you're going to be here anyway. 

Any GDCers coming that need any help or info about Athens don't hesitate to message me I'd be happy to help with any questions about the city or where to live or whatever.

Thank God that they are also coming to Austria without playing on a festival! 😍 In the message from Green Day it says:

The mailing list pre-sale for the headliners begins this Wednesday @ 10am local - the code will be sent at 11pm local tomorrow.

for the European Dates next summer. How am I able to get such a code?
