And fans like us who have been waiting for 10+ years for an opportunity!

I really hope they don't pull a Matty Healy and use their show to advocate because it won't actually change anything – the local LGBTQ+ community will just suffer for it. If we're serious about forcing change through boycotting, the whole world needs to work closely with the local community to do it. Until that happens, one band refusing to play there won't help (again, it'll probably just do more harm than good), and I don't see why the decent local people should be deprived of enjoyment because the laws suck.

I don't. I have been to UAE several times from the 90s. The last time I was there was in 2017/2018. I see a huge difference and it's going in the right direction. Dubai is a huge city and is also different from other parts of UAE. If one part of the world doesn't get to experience music, movies, theatre etc from other countries I don't see anything positive about it. The reason for the changes that have been in UAE is due to the attention the country has gotten and hopefully that will continue. 🤞

I might actually make it to this one! On one hand, I don't want to go to Dubai because of all the human rights issues and censorship but if this is the only way after the COVID debacle, then I might try. Jan 27 seems like a good time and who knows maybe an Asian tour is on the cards as well? I will wait for a bit before booking the tickets.

Does nobody have an issue with the fact that they are playing a country where Homosexually is a criminal offence ? Being homosexual is officially prohibited in the UAE which Dubai is a part of. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_the_United_Arab_Emirates#:~:text=Both civil law and sharia,the partner or the guardian. I am a bit disappointed by this one. Unless Green Day use this as a platform to advocate for equality .

Cool that Green Day are playing some destinations they haven't visited so far for this tour!

Same! It's one of my favourites now

I wasn't super into this song at first. But it totally grew on me. Now I can't get enough of it! Interesting how that can happen

Woohooooo. Can't wait for the official announcement. Dubai is going to get an awesome show. 🤘

All Things Live in Dubai is heavily hinting at a Green Day appearance at the next festival. More info in the article. Official announcement on Monday: https://whatson.ae/2024/05/it-looks-like-green-day-are-set-to-perform-in-dubai/

It's so weird when you look at the Hella Mega page on Wikipedia the list is so short. I get the logic of not including the GD only dates but just makes it look like there were barely any shows. Don't know if that makes sense https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hella_Mega_Tour

On this day 6 years ago (5 May 2018), The Longshot played in Phoenix, AZ. Thanks to Rumpel for finding Billie's selfie from that show (the only decent photo) because I've hardly saved anything from 2017 onwards. I unfollowed Longshot a while ago and now I can't get back in to look for photos for this project. 7 years ago (5 May 2017), Green Day played in Melbourne, Australia on the Revolution Radio Tour. That girl in the centre makes the whole photo. More photos: 15 years ago, they played a short set on In Session With Zane Lowe at Maida Vale Studios. I actually remember listening to this on the radio. I got the date wrong and listened to the whole show that day just in case, so I was very excited when Green Day were actually on the following week. It was great. I've still got the cassette I recorded it on somewhere. "That one just fell out of our bums." – Tre on the Foxboro Hot Tubs "eBay!" – Billie Joe when Zane Lowe asked if he could keep his promo CD (he's actually a huge Green Day fan, so I doubt it ended up on eBay) More photos: 19 years ago, Green Day played in Columbus on the American Idiot Tour. I don't have any photos of the show, but this photoshoot was done that day. 31 years ago (5 May 1993), they played in Wigan, England. "We're Green Day, but it's time to change the pace a little bit. We're Green Grass." — Tré Cool "Tré has broken his toe, so he can't do ballet for you this evening." — Billie Joe (however, the audience member they called up to "do ballet" was unsatisfactory, so Tre did some anyway) More photos 32 years ago (5 May 1992), Green Day played the Beacon Hill Bandshell in Victoria, Canada. There are more of these fab photos taken by Sarah Kramer on Instagram And finally, 34 years ago (5 May 1990), Green Day played one of their many shows at 924 Gilman Street.
