I'm not the biggest FOB fan but congrats to them for playing one of the biggest shows of their career at one of Chicago's most iconic venues. Talk about a homecoming! Also I want to go credit to the writer who correctly pointed out FOB from the Chicago suburbs and not Chicago. (Yes, I'm that person lol)

Someone explain to me how this doesn’t violate their covid protocols 🙄

Lol at the introductions (2:40):

Am I the odd one out here for not being obsessed with the "bellie"? I generally prefer it when Billie is a little on the slimmer side. Don't get me wrong - it's absolutely not a bad thing and he's still just as attractive. It's just not one of the features that I particularly focus as a point of interest.

I didn't think we were supposed to be talking about this, but yeah, it's concerning. Seems like it puts the whole tour - and band/crew - at risk. I also agree that it's strange Billie is so camera shy off stage lately. It's one thing to not be on social media himself, but it feels like he's been actively avoiding even appearing in other band members' posts/stories. We don't get to see him unless it's a concert photo or a behind the scenes video from Oakland Coffee.

THANK YOU! I feel so validated! Some people tell me it's easier to say you're from Chicago than explain what exactly Naperville is. I still don't buy it because you can say I'm from the suburbs of Chicago. I was so confused when people started asking me in college where in Chicago I was from and they listed suburbs.

tabeltz That's Green Day's gear. I went to my first shift at my new job and it was setting the arena for the Hella Mega tour. Pretty neat shit. https://www.instagram.com/p/CS6AjPds22z/

Someone in the reddit post said the person in question is alive, was saved by another crew member so that’s a relief.

I think I just need all the photographers to check in as safe right now

The restaurant that Jason posted is the same one I had breakfast at the other day. 😊

@The Grohl and @Montclare 😬

I never understood people saying they were from Chicago but then saying a suburb. Not buying it.

Ditto. 🙂

How could anyone not like Kevin?! He's nice, cute, talented, cute, sweet,....did I say cute? And he looks nice. These shots of Billie on the screen in black and white are killing me 🥵🥰😏

That photo with the rainbow over the venue is actually beautiful! I don't think I ever got any rainbow shots on tour.

I think bellie is used interchangeably here, both meaning when he's got a little extra as well as just showing any skin there, no matter the size. Personally, I do like it when he has a bit more.

The other photographer, Elliot just posted on instastory so far nothing from Jake.

Hella Mega posted from Philly

The whole thing!!!!!! Especially “my name is Billie Joe Armstrong and I’m a fucking moron.” AT LEAST HE KNOWS AND PUBLICLY ADMITS IT! He is aware! Phew! P.S. I love Jason White and so happy Kevin Preston is now in the band to add to the awesome and Jason Freese everyone so amazing ❤️ Best band lineup ever and forever!

I got a shirt this year and I gotta say it's pretty good quality. It's not thin and cheap feeling like most shirts now. It's nice and thick but not too thick. It's been though a few washes and it's still good! Hope this helps!

Here we have the swinging bellie and a crown.

I love those random moments! It's been happening a lot at my new job because the one thing everyone knows about me is I love music! It happens here a lot with NIN. People will hit me up when they do anything and I love it 🤣

Can we stop with the Brittney discussion please? This thread is for posting/commenting on Green Day instagram photos not for scrutinising the band's families and personal lives. A photo with her in it isn't an excuse to start doing it again. And I don't really get the weird speculation about Billie (and Adrienne - again not a member of Green Day) either, if he's not into being on social media that's his business.

Looks like Kevin has been out water skiing on Lake Minnitonka!

One! Twenty One So-ongs. Leave out your deep ones. Bask in the light One! Twenty one so-ongs. Hella Mega's Cool It's the same every night ONE! Twenty One So-ongs! Did you try to play the trilogy? But they booed you off of the stage did you puke too close to pukey Like a unicorn stabbing someone....in the heart.....

Yeah, I am wondering about that too!

Apparently they're still in the mix. This was posted by someone at the Philly show

The photo that Jason Freese posted from the show was from a photographer called @marckantorsir on Instagram. The photo was taken from the back of the stage so he was also around. Not sure how many photographers would be backstage. Surely not many. Sincerely hope whoever it is pulls through

You know you're a GD fan when you're sitting in a park in Philadelphia, the Rocky theme starts playing (because, Philadelphia), and your first thought is

Does anyone else see a bit of a resemblance between Billie and young Paul here? 🥰

Wasn't close enough to get bellie porn shots last night, but these made me laugh- It looks like Mike is bracing for Billie to slap him in the face Looks like Tre's stealing Kevin. Elvis sneer

Well, look where I showed up last night.

When you have to drive past downtown for something and you see the stadium where Green Day will be playing and get incredibly giddy and excited and keep glancing at it until it's out of view. I was literally talking to myself going "That's where Green Day is going to playyyy! I'm going to see Green Day there!! Green Day is going to be here soon!" It was a full on fangirl moment for sure. Good thing I was by myself.

Oakland Coffee posted this pic of Mike https://www.instagram.com/p/CS7tuWjBzXx/?utm_medium=copy_link

this guy is also a tour photographer for Fall Out boy https://www.instagram.com/elliottxingham/?hl=en He hasn't posted in a couple of days, but Jake did reply to his posts 2 days ago.

That’s not a bad thing. The Billie Joe Les Paul Junior is awesome and not only retains value but even goes up. Billie Joe did not put his name on a piece of junk. But I want one now too rich for my bank account 😆 Oh well. I’ll wait for the next run (if there is one). I hope the next run is exactly like the 2006 BJA Juniors. If that’s possible. A re-issue of the 2006s would be great.

I think the problem would be that we have live performances of almost all the songs they are playing on this tour already on BIAB and AAF

I don't think this was posted before but it's kind of adorable https://thisisjoy.tumblr.com/post/660142952446820352

Word of caution - I ordered a shirt and after I got a confirmation notice they emailed me that they canceled and refunded my order because my size was back ordered. They offered me a discount for when it becomes available but I haven’t received a code or anything yet and don’t know when I can try again. I really want this shirt but now I’m in limbo 🥺

Hella Mega posted this - a Hella Mega cookie The other night after Billie dropped the mic he said "what was that line again"!

So this is random but does it ever annoy you when Billie changes the words to a song instead of singing it live? In Columbus he didn't sing/scream "Waking up this time to smash the silence with the brick of self control" during She, which is a song that I've really been into lately. He screamed something "inspirational," I can't really remember what. I was just like... It's not a big deal but I feel like after a lot of people see them for the first time, they always remark about how much he draws out songs with random breakdowns, hey-ohs, speeches, having fans sing, etc. I get it's all part of the show but this is the first time where it's ever really mattered enough for me to think about it. I feel like there's definitely less of that this tour though. Ain't nobody got time for that.

We can fantasise about both but we try to be careful and lighthearted about it, and about what we actually say here, it is all just nonsense in our heads after all.

That's me under the head of the guitar! (looking like I've seen God, hahaha)
