Goodnight Adeline and Suzie Chapsticks sound like summer songs to me maybe even Coma City

On this day 7 years ago (30 April 2017), Green Day played in Perth, Australia on the RevRad Tour. More photos: 19 years ago (30 April 2005), the American Idiot Tour came to Amherst, MA. Photo from SmalltownLibraries on Reddit. Credit if reposting. And finally for this month, 26 years ago (30 April 1998) Green Day played Houston, TX on the Nimrod Tour. I combined all of this month's "on this day" Instagram stories into a GDA article. There are some things that haven't been posted yet because I started halfway through April, so it's worth having a look if you're enjoying the Instagram stories. https://www.greendayauthority.com/news/6157/ Also made a reel of them. It goes into a void when I try to post it on Instagram, but it's on the GDA Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/reel/812985026831751

I can see this happening, not just with all of the pride stuff, it is also a great summer song. In general.

Correct. And downloading/buying. I could see Bobby Sox coming back for the summer. I could see it being a Pride thing. It did briefly chart when the album came out, but wasn't pushed then.

Radio vs streaming

If it’s #1 across the board how is it only #38 on the hot rock/alternative charts??

While I enjoy both songs, I think the only remaining song that could be a single is 1981. However, I don’t think we can expect any songs from Saviors getting the single treatment at this point

I never get seat tickets in my whole life and I am not rich, I don't think its a fair assumption to think every persong who go buy pit/premium tickets are rich, you know crazy fans do what they need to do to see the bands they love. Prices got really crazy in the last few years

Uhhh, Topps are making Green Day cards? YES.

Premium tickets and front row have always been a thing only the wealthier could afford, even when tickets were cheaper. I remember as a kid we would buy seats in the rafters or back of an arena to get them cheaply, we couldn’t ever afford seats down front. I agree that Ticketmaster “fees” and bots are bullshit but most small to medium bands are either losing money or breaking even with the cost of touring today, it affects everyone. For a while it was the revenue stream that replaced album sales but now it doesn’t even do that. It’s an industry wide problem. Everyone down the line has raised their costs from the fuel to the venue to the hotels and food. Only the biggest acts can still make money but the costs of stadium tours is astronomical. Luckily Green Day has the money to even do it.

New peak of 38 on the Hot Rock and Alternative chart.

Yeah, i know there are a lot of costs involved, a lot o people that must be payed from the revenue, but it's getting harded to pay concert tickets sometimes. From a brazilian perspective, we got shows here that costs literally over a minimum wage to get acess to premium tickets and to get a 'front row'. I can't accept this as a normal thing

DM me if you have any questions, I can help you with structuring a simple story or edit what you have. Go to a bookstore and see some examples in your chosen age range Or you can reach out to this person and ask if they’d make a custom Green Day book hecreative.com (link isn’t copying)

With the costs of touring today, they may not be able to lower it by much. And Green Day brings along three other bands to give the audience more value for their money and they all have to be paid. I would love to see the actual expense sheet of a single stadium show to see where all the revenue goes but I know literally hundreds of people and companies get paid out of that ticket money.

Reddit took off... I'm so glad that people can come together over a simple idea.. Green Day would kick ASS as a childrens book. Your idea was perfect also, to do a book on each era and show the friendship. This is gonna be a lot of research and I feel so lost. But as a HUGE Green Day fan since 9 years old with nothing but time and YouTube videos of the boys I think I got this, hopefully...

Looks like you’re getting a lot of good feedback on reddit and a few artist volunteers. Show us when it’s done

cool action, but I just don't think resellers are the only problem. The band should also care for the high priced tickets their concerts have from the start
