Alf Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I was looking at the Undercover event on Fox Theater next week, where 14 bands will be covering Dookie. On the event on Facebook, after the list of the bands it's saying there will be "Very Special Guests". When GD played the secret show at Gilman last year it was announced the same way. So do you guys think there is a possibility of this is happening?

ZSebs Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Well I know Billie will be there for sure because I think he tweeted about it saying he will be there, but I don't think he said whether he was playing or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero_Of_The_Hour Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 It's nearly March so they'll be playing the new album from back to front before it's release...obviously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumpsalty Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Apparently they turned down super bowl because they didn't want to be doing a show during the album process. I guess this is different though so who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Seagull Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Probably to fix the damage other bands made by destroying Dookie. Have you heard the covers? They are horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Green Day playing a secret show is pretty much always possible so I'd say it is. Would be cool, just have to wait and see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw it on Facebook too. As for a surprise show? I definitely think it will happen. Just kind of seems like "surprise shows" are the norm for them nowadays. If they do play, I hope they don't play anything new. No crappy cell phone vids of new material. When they release it, I want to hear to the real recording.

Alan86 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 If this show is a fund raiser then surely announcing green day as a performer would generate more money than keeping it quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerjeezus Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 There's no way they were asked to do Superbowl. The secret show is possible but i agree it's strange they aren't officialy announced because more people would show up and pay. If there will be a secret show I hope a new song(s) will be played.

ghesboro Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Plot twist: the "very special guests" are actually Sweet Children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chin for a Day Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I would actually be more surprised if this ended up not being a secret show. I'm sure they are not having any issue selling tickets. It is a charity function and Billie has already said he is going. People will buy tickets just to meet him. They did a secret show there once before, only announced as "special guests". And, it is a show honoring a GD album. It almost seems logical to have them play afterwards.

That was at a club show in gilman. This is at fox theatre, but you could be right maybe there will be no problem selling out this theatre anyway so it doesn't matter that green day are not announced.

Alf Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 Maybe Green Day didn't want to be announced, so people would buy tickets for the right reason, support Gilman, and not only to see Green Day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixtrix Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Could it be that this is just part of a simple but innocent mind game? Like, they announce a very special guest on a Green Day Dookie tribute show to support Gilman knowing everyone would speculate that the special guest might be Green Day and therefor buying tickets for the event. I mean, Green Day is huge, they barely need any announcement anyway. And for this show they maybe don't want to make it seem like they are the main attraction at a show that is mainly set to support Gilman. Like they want to keep the message clear - Green Day isn't supporting Gilman that night, the audience is. But they probably will be present to play a possible secret show.

It's true that if it is for charity why not announce Green Day to sell more tickets, but the things is, the place isn't huge, if they announced it was Green Day straight and with a week notice, it would collapse. They can sell all the tickets easily just with Billie Joe being there plus the speculation they might play. Monetary aspects aside, it's also possible that they're trying to get in first people who care about Gilman and the scene, to give them the opportunity and also because if it was mostly Green Day fans there'd be lots who wouldn't care about the covers (we saw that kind of disrespect at the bj and norah show in ny) But secret show... I hope so and I think so! New songs would be perfect by me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
