Is anybody else now thinking that this really is a one off show? If they were planning to do another one, wouldn't it have been announced or gone on sale by now?

I hadn't even bothered to look at the tour schedule.🥲  Thank you.

[pacejunkie punk]

Also for anyone outside the country lucky enough to score a ticket, you may need Electronic Travel Authorization in addition to passport to travel to the UK. Americans will need one starting January 8 so that will apply for this show. Plan ahead.

 Holy shit my brother got tickets and he's taking me 

If anyone has to sell a ticket by any chance please hit me up! I feel bad for my sister not being able to go as we always go together. But I have her blessing lol. Can't wait!

Thanks, it's so lucky he got them! He loves Green Day too so it'll be great. He's been to a lot of the same shows as us but we usually don't see him because he and his friends can't be bothered to queue for hours like us so he's always further back. I'm gonna make him go there earlier

Oh yay! I’ll keep an eye out if anyone has any spares. Be warned, it’ll be a bit chillier than Wembley If last March is anything to go by  🤣

Travel sorted, work sorted, hotel sorted

 

LETS GO 

[Rumpelstiltskin2000]

The Speedways confirmed as support for the 15th

[Hermione]

So excited for this! I've been listening to songs they play a lot that I'm not familiar with as it'll be nice to know more of them

[farley drexel hatcher]

What time are people thinking of getting there? I don’t want to queue stupid early but also looking at trains, the later the more expensive for some reason. But I’ll probs be solo most of the day as my friend has to work so idk. I can’t remember what time I got in the queue last year but there were already people there 

[purplebenny]

We won’t be hitting til 6ish, work and what not

The weather forecast looks decent so far (7 degrees cloudy no rain) so I'm hoping to get there before 13:00. Is that way too early?  I don't even know. I was thinking of the smaller shows at Shepherds Bush and Brixton where there was plenty of early queuing going on but that was Green Day and it was summer so I dunno.

Haha I mean I don’t think it is too early if you think about how big the venue is, I guess it just depends how close you want to be 👀 and I feel like I should absolutely refrain and not care about where I get but I know I’ll get fomo 🤣 I’ve just looked at my photos from last year and I was apparently number 32 in the queue and I got there about 12:30

I randomly already had this week booked off work which bodes well but my friend is working so I’m gonna be solo for a bit at least 

[purplebenny]

Also for anyone travelling, tubes and trains will be busy, north London Derby is on that night also

[Reverend Strychnine Twitch]

Will they be covering The Beach Boys - I Get Around this time?

Probably

Doubt it’ll be too different a set, it’s a tune up Show

[nelegrace]

Hi,

was anyone able to buy a resale ticket for the show so far? I've been checking Ticketmaster and Co regularly and haven't seen any tickets come up.

Anyone who knows the o2 academy, do you reckon there’s any chance they’ll release extra last minute tickets?

If anyone can't go/ has a spare ticket please hit me up! I had a tough last couple of weeks and would be so grateful to find a ticket and go to the show.

 

[purplebenny]

Anyone know of a decent place for a pint near the venue?

[Mollyluna]

To all of you who are going tomorrow: have fun!! Some videos would be nice! As long as you don’t have to put your phones away…😉

Slim Jims is just up the road and great

[Hermione]

The show was so much fun omg! My brother and I got one back from barrier behind @solongfromthestars and @Rumpelstiltskin2000 with great view between Billie and Jason! Just a "regular" setlist I think but it was great, danced the whole time and it was just awesome watching them play up close

https://imgur.com/6emTrSj

It was a bit dumb that they didn't have an encore because it meant the crowd chanted for one and got disappointed (especially as it took ages for the lights to come on) but we thought it was funny 😆. Billie did state clearly that it was the last song to be fair.
