To be honest, I hope they will be releasing the album first, then doing some smaller gigs like they did last year (well .. a little bigger though), and finally announce a stadium tour for 2013. That would be the best in my opinion. When first their new album gets popular and succesful, Green Day gets new fans all over the world, and they then announce tour dates in real stadiums (Wembley, AWD Arena, Santiago Bernabeau, etc.) their show will soon be sold out.

Right now, they'd actually not fill up stadiums in Germany unless they'd just do one concert. They ain't as popular as Coldplay or U2 here in Germany ...

That's just what I am hoping for. I think it's a little too early, since they've "just" been here two years ago.

Italian fans really deserve a show after what happened in 2010! Can't wait for the announcement on tuesday... D-2!

How would they know this early on? They've just made it up like they do every single year. It might make more sense/be more likely next year than it has been other years since we know they're work

green day gains so much popularity in germany, they could fill up every stadium here, no matter if they release a new album or not..

6 hours till the announcment :)

i rly hope we can see more clear after the announcement..im so nervous right now :D

We don't know this for sure yet. It hasn't been officially announced, so anything is still possible.

Efestivals is very reliable.

Stereoboard have announced Foo Fighters as first headliner so far...

and now Kasabian so looks like the efestivals predictions are right, as most people thought anyway

so was i !!

will still be a great gig for those who are going, seeing Foo Fighters will be pretty awesome.

The BIG question of course is where does that leave us re a Green Day tour? a question no one can answer right now and them not playing Reading/Leeds doesn't really tell us much, does it?

we need an 8th video!! all too quiet at the moment, but maybe that's because they are working hard :)

Paramore?

Glad I don't have to go now! They should have made Slipknot headliners and put Paramore on right before them! :shifty:

I'd be there at the barrier with a nice big bag of rotten fruit :D

Or at least a bored, expressionless face :P

Fairly disappointed overall, if you ask me. Especially considering there is no Glastonbury. Very disappointing indeed.
