This has been a long time coming. Can't believe they're headlining for the first time. AND blink? Do I smell Pop Disaster 2 coming? :ga:

Oh, I'd love to go. 
But I'm flying out the week after and well, it would be so irresponsible to do this.

To anyone going - have a great time!

It definitely looks cool. Now is announced that some bands will play whole records I'm very tempted to go. I mean, what a better deal than seeing Bad Religion playing Suffer and end up the week seeing Green Day playing whatever they want to play :lol:

Besides, it would be an amazing gift for my gf that is finishing her studies. But is that or waiting for the southamerican dates... Let's see what happens

Got my 3 day pass yesterday.  Letting you guys know first.  Breaking news.  I will be staying at the Green Day stage the entire day to be as close to the stage as possible.  Beer shall be a noble sacrifice. Water too, but who needs that…actually I’ll bring a water backpack.  Let’s go September!!!

P.S. I was going to write this in the “random Green Day thoughts” thread, but I saw this was already made .  Sometimes I forget I can make a thread too lol

You gotta say hi to Billie and Kevin for me :lol:

If I manage to be a person they pull on stage, I will say hello to them all and hopefully talk myself into the touring band.  I mean their live shows have been pretty good and all, but a 4th guitarist/backing vocalist could really put them over the edge 🤣

Aim high! I like the way you think 😂

Never thought I’d see the day where Green Day, The Beach Boys, and Knocked Loose are all on the same bill but here we are 😛

i wonder if Blink and GD are gonna actually get along this time

I would hope so. Billie is a sassy-pants, but I think he would be one of those people to NOT start stoof. Idk about blink tho

I hate how the press is still saying that Charli XCX and Green Day have a feud, and it is "finally over." Give it a break, man.

They probably won’t even see each other, but I think they’re all cool for the most part.  I heard there was some drama about Blink 182 not being cool with Green Day headlining over them for the When We Were Young festival.  If that’s true, they got lost in their own hype.  Green Day has been and will be here to stay. Break up drama doesn’t make you more worthy of headlining above them, no matter how much press that may attract.

I thought Charlie XCX thing was pretty funny and GD handled it beautifully, made it very clear they were unbothered by it and having fun.  As for the Blink thing I’m sure there is quite a lot to suggest our guys get on just fine with Mark and Travis, I think Tom could be the issue, if there is one.

I remember Billie saying he liked a Charlie xcx song back in the day, so it makes sense that he would be cool with the whole situation.  That pic of tre wearing that sash was great though.  It had to be said.  “Actual headliner” lmao that’s good stuff.

To be fair, I can see where Blink Stan’s might be coming from as Blink was certainly appealing to a larger audience at the time given their reunion, and festivals need to book acts that drive sales, blah blah blah.

 

Their personal feelings on each other aside as I’m sure they’re chill with one another, it is super funny to think that Tre Cool will very possibly be shoulder to shoulder with a Kardashian LOLLL :D

I think Blink dislikes Green Day way more the Green Day dislikes them now…especially if it’s true Green Day declined a Pop Disaster Tour several times…and if Blink yelled at GD’s management on Pop Disaster that tells you something plus Tom’s ego I think makes him not like Green Day. Travis seems cool with Mike and Tre spoke highly of his talent Billie and Mike have shared pictures of being with Travis. Mark not sure about he seemed to diss them in his book.

In his book, Mark referred to green Day are friendly rivals. He seems to think they can't stand each other. I have a feeling green Day doesn't think much about blink these days lol. That'd be so dumb if blink actually got salty that green Day headlined over them at WWWY. I didn't hear about that.

That’s cause Green Day is better and more successful. Oh well Blink’s loss. I’m sure Tom will leave again soon.

Why does everybody think Tom has issues with Green Day? Angels & Airwaves opened up for Green Day on their 2012 European tour. Tom didn't have any issue playing before them then.

Just seems like cope on Blink's part framing Green Day showing them up as being a worse live band as "rivalry" lol. I don't think there is one, GD just got better reviews on a tour and acknowledged it and that was it.

it's mostly Mark that has issues with GD considering his book

 

Hopefully weezer can help quell some of the tension that may still exist from Pop Disaster/WWWY
