Green Day to play All Things Live in Dubai UAE in January 2025

You already know the answer. Human rights in general is a huge problem in UAE as in other countries in the same region. I don't see how boycotting them will make any difference or how that will help them evolve. Hope everyone that goes to the show has a wonderful time. - Today

Yeah it’s a really weird choice to me from a brand-alignment perspective. I remember hearing about Beyoncé playing at some resort in Dubai a while ago and thinking it was a bizarre choice (I don’t know much about her but feel like she probably has progressive values that don’t align with what goes on there). This feels similarly off. I’m not like *mad* because they have fans everywhere, I’m just surprised from a PR perspective and a bit disappointed that they are not paying better attention to what matches their values as a band. And this isn’t even an event for local fans, really, it’s a trade show that will probably largely be for attendees. It’s just very far from what Green Day stands for in all ways. -

This. Green Day is known for supporting women and LGBT+ rights and now they're going to earn a lot of money playing in the country where human rights are violated. It's just doesn't feel right, sorry. Of course it's their choice. Of course regular fans live there and deserve this show. But there are many countries where fans are still waiting for Green Day show and where basic human rights aren't violated. -

I'm impressed by the international presence of Green Day on this upcoming tour. You all think they are stacking these distant countries during this tour because of their age? For example, when the next album cycle comes out, it won't be as easy for upper 50 year old men traveling to middle east/south africa, etc. They might as well go big on this tour, I love it! -

i get your points, and to some extent i think the same about such announcements, but its not as easy as people who blame such moves think honestly, who cares in the end? its the world we live in nobody cared when the worlds biggest sports event (soccer world cup) took place in qatar you could also say "dont play in the US because its where a mass genocide on native americans took place with millions of dead people" please dont get me wrong, i would love to have a free and peaceful world, and famous persons of public interest should sometimes consider if its worth the money and do more background-checking, but speaking of greenday i am sure they are aware of how some places in the world are stuck in the middle age, but i cant blame them to still go there for the first time ever(?) and bring one of the best nights in a fans lifetime -

Kind of lame to play a country that oppresses LGBT+ and women to that extent and is built on slave labour tbh. If nothing else it seems like a terrible PR move -

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 . -

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.
