Green Day (Hella Mega Tour - Potential Glasto Slot?)

[FuzzyDunlop]

Means you can count them all out for the farm

[discgoesmic]

Dates announced, there is a gap for the Sunday of Glastonbury (playing in Ireland on the Monday) - but as people have said, it's rare that they play 4 shows in a row.

Well it would be 4 dates in a row.

At least that Bellahouston gig can’t go any worse than Green Day’s last one there.

You're correct! Amended.

and they do love a cheeky secret gig every now and then. 

Start the rumour mill

Weezer+Green Day for Glasto Sunday pls. 

[zero000]

Can't see it happening. They have crammed a lot of gigs together so it seems unlikely. 

Not really sure they have much relevance nowadays. The 1975 would be a far more relevant headliner.  

[JSmurphy]

All three of 'em have new singles out too.

[Matt42]

Green Day are totally ruled out with those dates.

Don’t think that is completely out of the realms of possibility. Or maybe Billie Joe turning up somewhere considering he was on the farm for a day this time. But does seem the full show isn’t happening.

Tell ya what the new Green Day song is pretty decent.

If the Green Day rumours are true, now would be the ideal time to ban punk.  Or whatever the music they make these days is.

I saw Green Day a couple of years ago on their Revolution Radio tour. Honestly never seen anybody play a gig that good. I have been to Glasto quite a few times. Seen The Rolling Stones, Metallica, Muse and other acts and nobody compared to Billie and Green day. Not even close. Personally I think they’d be a brilliant addition to the festival.

Have seen Green Day 4 times and I humbly disagree.

Looks like they'll probably be at Roskilde festival then, as there's no Danish date yet. Quite happy with that as I've already got a ticket.

 

Considering two of the dates clash with Glasto weekend: if you were gonna travel somewhere to see them, where would you go? 

[priest17]

Shows how little these bands know/care about Glastonbury that they'd announce 2 stadium dates whilst the country's biggest music event is happening. Not even in the sense the bands missing out on playing, they clearly don't think its a weird time to host giant music events when so many gig-goers will be otherwise engaged. Just aint that big a deal.

Ultimate madness. Glasgow on Wednesday. National Express Glasgow to Glasto. You’d be dead but it’d be sick.

They probably know how much more lucrative two stadium dates are to be fair, and summer is so clustered with Euro fests it'd be impossible to avoid everything.

Tbf my plan is to fly to Roskilde festival on the Monday (it starts on Glasto Saturday, 8 days long). So adding Green Day to that would just be a drop in the ocean

[y0ungtitan]

I know what I'm getting myself into by asking this (especially after defending the 1975 as pyramid headliners if they're playing next year) but there's no chance Green Day could be other headliners if they played, could they? Thinking along the lines of Metallica being booked for that slot a couple of years ago.

Potentially. The alternative is that their market is not going to overlap a great deal with Glastonbury and so it can be disregarded. Reading and Leeds would be a different issue entirely.

No southern date on that tour, wouldn't be surprised to see all three of them on the farm!

Pretty sure London is in the south.

No chance for GF - they will not do 4 days running.

Yeah, so unfair that those northern monkeys in London get a gig but southern folk don't
