I do see the possibility of a headline show in Germany. I notice the same pattern for the summer 2025 tour as in summer 2017, when they played Southside and Hurricane. Contractually, they’re not allowed to perform in the catchment areas of these two festivals. This essentially leaves only the eastern part of Germany, and they’ve already played in Berlin this year. In 2017, for this reason, they held their own show at the Olympiahalle in Munich.

Leipzig?

In summer 2017 they had Hurricane, Southside and Munich. So its still possible but I hope for Cologne, Dortmund, Hannover or something like that 😕

I reckon Hanover ist too close to Hurricane festival.

[GuitarPunk94]

what about Frankfurt in germany?

or anything, its been 7 years ..

yet again, they have currently 10 cities during their european (festival) tour, with only 3(!) of them being real solo-shows

[Tomcat20]

I’ll say it again: Green Day playing at Hurricane and Southside limits where they’re allowed to play their own headliner shows in Germany. Once a band agrees to play at a major festival like that, there are often geographical exclusivity clauses in the contract. It’s the same situation as with Rock im Park and Rock am Ring. Because of this, they could only schedule their own shows in the north for summer 2024—in Berlin and Hamburg.

Hamburg is on my list over cities to visit and I love Berlin so. 🤞

Which means Cologne is still possible.

And around the expected date there is no event listed yet on the website of the Lanxess Arena. There is something on the 15th and the next one ist the 22nd 😏

 

But as long as they are never playing at the Waldbühne in Berlin again I'm open for anything 😅

What was wrong with the Waldbuhne?  I went to concerts there years ago and it was great.

Because in Germany during working days open air events have to stop at 10pm because of local residents (hope this is the right word 😂) so they had to rush during Good Riddance this year. We call it „Nachtruhe“ 😂

Wasn‘t it 10.30 pm? But yes, they rushed….😅

Yeah could be 10:30. oh no, up to 5000€ 😂

Not sure if I remember correctly though. Berlin was my first „real“ Green Day Show (after the festival in Nuremberg), and I was slightly delirious afterwards…🤣

The venue looks really cool. Did they sell standing and seating tickets? Or was it a first come first served kind of thing? 😊

In my opinion, the standing area was way too small for a concert like Green Day. But the worst have been those STAIRS! 😵‍💫Just too many of those damn stairs 😂Especially the way back upstairs after the show was like hell. Maybe I'm just getting old 😂

They sold the standing tickets as Golden Circle I think. The seating tickets were first come first served, but we managed to get really good seats.

Yeah same for me after the Rock am Ring show. I usually walk 20 minutes to my camping site. It took 1.5 hours after the show 😂

Sounds like a good deal. Thank you. 😊

So I just looked up the event calendars of some other possible (indoor) venues in Germany:

The Olympiahalle in Munich has an event listed from 18th - 21st, so that's definitely out.

The Westfalenhalle in Dortmund could be possible. There's an event listed from 14th - 15th and after that nothing else in June

Festhalle in Frankfurt has nothing listed in June yet

Quarterback Immobilien Arena in Leipzig also has nothing listed in June yet

Rudolf Weber-Arena in Oberhausen has something listed on 14th and the next one on 24th

ZAG Arena in Hannover has something listed on 17th and the next one on the 26th.

 

So, that's for now 😅 There may be other venues and of course more cities, but those are the ones that spontaneously came to my mind besides Cologne.

Would be awesome (except for Leipzig). Probably in the next few days 🙏

We also have the Barcelona Rock Fest as a strong contender proposed by @roquer a few posts back, playing from the 26th to the 29th, and they will be announcing this "amazing" headliner on November 4th.

I suppose they could do both? Oslo 26th, FinlandEstonia 27th, Barcelona 29th, and Luxembourg 30th? But I'm exhausted just typing it, so it might be a bit of stretch.

Pretty much us right now 😅 I guess we'll have to wait and see. But I'm loving all these theories. They sure know how to keep us in our toes

EDIT: Thanks @sampy for the geographical correction!

Resurrection Fest and Barcelona Rock Fest will announce on Monday that headliner and the strong rumours are that it will be Slipknot.

I’m pretty sure that Green Day will end the European tour in Madrid (Mad Cool) and Lisbon (NOS Alive).

Trucking all the equipment back from Athens to Portugal? Sounds like a logistical nightmare and it's easily 4000 km on the road. That's certainly not going to happen. The tour will end in Athens, I think. After that, Billie and co will take a little vacation on santorin like right after the American idiot tour. 🤣

[GreenDay_Fan]

If they do play an extra show in Germany that's outside of the Radius Clause of Hurricane/Southside that can't be announced until a later date, it'll most likely be on that June 24th. Following the pattern of a show every 2 days except for Vienna, I think the following dates will be:

June 13th: Download Festival (To be announced soon)

June 20th and 22nd: Hurricane/Southside

June 24th: Extra Show in Germany? 

June 26th: Tons of Rock

June 28th: Tinderbox

Not saying its a definite they will be playing at those two festivals, but bands as big as Green Day have more than one sets of equipment. If the price is right and they get millions for playing two extra festivals, I don't think they will turn it down to headline.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. If there’s a solo show in Germany, it’s gotta be on June 23 or 24 (Hurricane/Southside will almost definitely be on the 20th and 21st; when they played there before, they did one show after another without any days off in between). But there’s still no date for France, so they might play there on the 23rd/24th.

It’s pretty unlikely they’ll go back to Mad Cool after what happened in 2017; seems like they don’t have a great relationship with that festival. If they don’t start the tour in Spain at the beginning of June like they did this year —and this time it looks like they’re starting with Download in the UK on the 13th— I don’t think Spain will get a show, unfortunately. The tour will most likely end in Athens.

Like I said earlier, I'm not predicting it or penciling it in, but Bilbao BBK is that same weekend as Mad Cool in Spain and NOS Alive in Portugal. If I had to bet I'd say the tour would end in Greece, but just saying there are possibilities in Spain/Portugal if the money is right. It just feels weird that they'll skip Spain, Portugal, and France on this Europe run. I think that extra show on the 23rd or 24th would be in Germany, if it was in France, I don't see why they wouldn't announce it yet with the other individual shows.
