They're not headlining Oxegen - that's got announced today, plus that article in the NOTW only said they were in talks.

Well Oxegen always has 3 headliners, one for each day of the weekend. I'd much rather see them at a stadium show than a festival though. I've been to Oxegen every summer for the last 5 years and I'm hoping to give it a miss this year! It's getting too expensive. Plus, I've already seen Kings of Leon 4 or 5 times now so I can afford to miss out this time around. Can't believe they're at Oxegen for the 3rd year in a row!

Edit: Oh, I'm just noticing now that the other headliners have been announced too. Killers and Snow Patrol.....no thanks.

The Killers have also done 3 years worth of festivals now.

I'd rather see GD in their own setting tbh cos i know im going to be a bit emotional when they take to the stage for the first time over here :cry::D

I would of thought they'd do a tour in the US first?

I think I'd rather see Green Day at their own show, but I'd still go to Reading if they're playing...

Didn't they tour the UK before the US with American Idiot?

I could be wrong.

I don't know, I wasn't really into them that much until a little after the UK tour; so this will be the first time ever I see them in concert... :D

^Ha same here :D. But on youtube there's vids of UK concerts from early 2005, and US concerts from mid-late 2005, so I'm just going on that.

Green Day played a few shows in the UK before American Idiot was released. Then they toured the US and Canada in fall of '04, did a world tour that winter, toured the US in the spring of '05, then another international tour, another US tour in summer/fall, and then ended their touring with Australia. I'm pretty sure that's how it went :D

So, I'm guessing they'll do something similar. Maybe not as big though, unless this new album becomes as popular as American Idiot was.

They toured the US at the end of '04.

Yeah, that's true. I remember that they had a show and in-store signing in NY on my 16th birthday that year.

Ahh yeah you're right, I just had a look at all the tour dates on GDA. Man that's a lot of dates!

I don't think I'd mind the UK going second really, it'll be quite cool to hear what the shows are like first so we have something to make our mouths water.

I've been hearing loads of rumours for Green Day headlining oxegen, if there true, I might just die of happiness!

I think I'll maintain my Oxegen routine again this year. Stalk them in Dublin and meet Billie Joe. :thumbsup:

Wouldn't be bothered going to the festival though, especially if they do their own headline show.

Eh, ok I really have to start reading threads fully before I reply....ok so scrap that entire post :P

Funny that you mention that,

I was watching the other day seeing Panic at the Disco and 50 Cent (who was at Reading '04) getting bottled off stage. It amazes me how they get bottled off and then Green Day goes up there and pulls off an insane performance with the whole crowd singing along, especially the beginning of Basket Case. Check it out if you haven't seen it before!

Anyone who throws bottles at a festival is a complete and utter moron. It'd never happen to Green Day though, they've been playing Reading for years and they own any crowd.
