On my way to Dublin for the concert tonight, the excitement is real. Too bad the airport pissoir has to wait a few years to get its favorite record played back to back live.

Loving the tour so far - such a shame that I don't get to see them this year (fingers crossed for a 2nd leg) + Homecoming sounds and seems to be the highlight of the show (please do not remove this song from future setlists, ever) + Lot's of sing along with the crowds, but less interaction between songs + Dilemma and Minority beeing played a step down from eb tuning, my guess is that they do this to spare BJ's voice (you can clearly tell that the high notes is a problem for him sometimes (OEB, Homecoming, Look Ma etc) + Bobby Sox is fucking amazing as a closing song - I think that BJ nails the high notes on this one, better than in the beginning after the release of the album - Please drop KYE

I'm calling it now. This my favourite album / tour cycle since 21CB.

Damn, I need a sign that says can’t play or sing but gives great hugs. 😂😂 My god, was Glasgow even better than Manchester!! Totally awesome show, as in jaw droppingly good. I think Billie choked a bit in WMUWSE. How the hell did people get golden circle, or was it full VIP? I never saw golden circle for sale! Had a great view straight on if further away (annoyingly the park slopes slightly but enough when you’re 5’). The stage settings, light show and pyro are just fantastic and Billie sounded amazing, I thought they were a little louder than in Manchester and Mike’s bass was higher in the mix at times. Sounded great. It rained a bit and I thought we were going to get soaked but it went off and got quite nice for a while, got quite chilly around 10, you can Billie’s nose is pink at the later stages ❤️ I am so tired of sloppy “journalism”! “First time in years” only 2 years, this sounds nearer 20! 🤬

I think I might agree. The only downside is Billie has less interaction with the crowd, he has a lot to get through. I thought it might feel like they were just ticking boxes but though they blast through each song I got no sense of them just going through the motions, they are clearly getting a kick out of playing both records and new stuff.

Well, this was... simply fabulous. Really, there's something about Glasgow and concerts, a buzz in the air, or something else, but the two just go together incredibly well. and yes, organisation was horrendous, as expected, plus since I had booked a hostel in Edinburgh to catch the first flight back home next morning, it took me a while to get back, including missing the last Scotrail service by just 10 seconds after running from Central to Queen Street and then missing the coach from Buchanan as well haha. But it was all worth it in the end. 100 %. This is probably the best performance I've seen the guys put on so far. Everything from the setlist, weather, sound, stage production and backdrop, Billie's voice, instrumentals: absolutely everything was on point. It was eerily perfect to be honest. Really good sound for an outdoor gig too actually. Obviously, this being my 4th gig, for subjective reasons nothing will ever beat the first time I saw Green Day for purely emotional value, but this concert really is proper live album material and I don't just say that because I was at the gig myself. I would love to see at least a single song on some live compilation or YouTube release. PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE GD The video you posted on TikTok from this gig just once again confirms you have SBD recordings from every show... Anyhow, I managed to get just behind barrier / second row, slightly to the left of the catwalk. Security were handing out blue wristbands to those furthest ahead in the queue, first come first serve, and as I was only 2-3 rows back before the doors opened I got lucky. The guy who got up on stage for Dilemma was standing only around 10 meters further back from where I was. He absolutely nailed the song and his stage presence was perfect too. As Billie said himself "only in Scotland" It was a surreal experience. I actually got to talk to him just after the show, his name is Jake and he has a band "Conflict Hope". They're really good, so go check them out if you have time: Anyhow, excited to see them one last time this tour at Wembley, though I can't see how anything could top all of this. And since I got resale tickets last minute, I'll be in the seating area just to the right of the stage, not in the pit, where I prefer to be. But still, last time they played Wembley 14 years ago it was a great show by the looks of things. So, I expect this time ought to be great as well.

I have Mega Evolved into Mega Fangirl over Billie taking my flag. That thing has been with me since the Paris show in 2010. It's been to all kinds of places but its most exciting adventure was definitely Costa Rica where it made it onto TV. Framing it has flag shagger vibes, but I think I'm going to have to retire it and frame it with photos some of Billie holding it.

Billie is looking completely gorgeous, we are getting flashes of hip and bellie and in Glasgow he had a couple of shirt buttons come undone. I’m not looking for any photos of that though, no sir, not hoping there are good, clear photos out there 😙

Peep our boys

It was a totally awesome show! Amazing energy start to finish and Billie was really on form. Seeing Dookie played in full was amazing, but getting American Idiot in full was definitely the highlight for me. It was great to hear some of those songs live for the first time (for me). I was lucky and got barrier a few people back from the catwalk, and had an awesome view. Arrived at about 12 noon to join the queue. My highlights were St Jimmy (Billie's energy during that is incredible), and Homecoming when the whole crowd were singing "we're coming home again", it was a real magical, spine-tingling moment that I will always remember. Also Mike and Tre running on at the end during good riddance to goof around with Billie was so cute. It's so great to see how much they are just loving being on stage and being together. You really feel the love and deep friendship between them. Billie said "we're gonna keep doing this forever", I really fucking hope they keep putting out music and touring, these guys are still just right at the top. It was my first Green Day show for 11 years, so pretty special for me. I felt super emotional during the show and also an overwhelming gratitude that these guys are still there for us. IMO GD shows are as much a chance for me to show them my love and gratitude for their work as for them to put on a show for us. Just love these guys so much, they are so unique and special ❤️

I feel like this gif belongs here

This show was possibly my favourite of the tour so far, although only by a tiny margin because the other two were so good. Where I was, everyone was singing, jumping and dancing. The band were really into it. Billie's voice was definitely hoarse yet he still sounded great. I was like, "how is that even possible?!" He's a total pro. While Tre was singing All By Myself, Billie was holding the Scottish flag up at the side of the stage (and then securing it as his cape), which was sweet. The fan who played Dilemma was great. I'm not that into fans doing anything more than Know Your Enemy, but that was just a lovely moment in general. He was so happy and we were all impressed, including Billie! Hard to choose a highlight but it was probably The American Dream Is Killing Me or One Eyed Bastard. I was so happy to be there seeing them again when they came onstage and I'm always that happy to hear One Eyed Bastard. On the way to the train station the day after the show, my friend and I went camera shopping and on the radio I heard the presenter saying "so you know what was the biggest gig of the year in Scotland? No, it wasn't Taylor Swift. It was Green Day!" They were gushing about how great it was. My phone pics are shit, but I'll share some anyway. I've got loads more photos of the fans onstage if they ever see this and want them. It definitely wasn't sold – it was a first come, first serve thing that was split in half, and no-one really knew about it until they saw maps of the park for the show. The VIPs only had access to Mike's side, but GA had access to both. It was a bit of a shitfest and the VIPs were ripped off in several ways, but I'll save that for another post.

Now this is the kind of content we need more of.

Woah, just saw that they uploaded the whole of Dilemma to their Instagram in soundboard quality! I've uploaded it to YouTube for those who don't use Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C8rp9dZpkEU/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Bring on that live album Green Day!

Yeah that irritated me too to be honest.

Haha! Surely a sign like that would get you on stage!😉 That article is annoying. Describing the guy who got picked to play guitar as 'a crazed fan'.🙄 Surely a crazed fan would try to stab them or something?! Totally the wrong adjective imo.

From Green Day's Instagram story

Billie’s eyes are extraordinary! 😍

Green Day should just play for 4 hours every day for the rest of time. And two show a day, minimum. If they could stick Still Breathing in somewhere, that would be cool.

Have only included the pics that haven't already been posted by a member of the band. Has anyone else noticed Tre and Mike aren't posting?

A sort of tour BTS video here from Tre's wife. Lots of pics of Tre and some other stuff https://www.instagram.com/reel/C8nbut9N4OE/?igsh=MTBha3h1eno0M2F4Yg== Couple of screenshots (too many pics to get them all on my phone)

Cool video of Billie getting pumped for the show https://www.instagram.com/reel/C8mgRL_OKWx/?igsh=NzlzbmRsenE2NWZv These are the best screenshots I could get on my phone Do you think he practised the cups

Couple of dogs patrolling last night, not aware of having seen that before. What a night! Crowd were a bit dull where I was and it’s a bit of an odd venue. Billie laughed at one point and said “why are some of you pointing backwards”. I don’t think those seats had been sold but folk had moved in to them to be closer, some were very far from the stage. BUT Green Day were fantastic, as good as ever I saw them I think. Billie is looking very trim, sounds fantastic, was in great form and clearly enjoying himself. I’m liking Corey O’Toole, he’s there but not doing as much as Jason who is too present for me sometimes. Jason W had blue hair, at least it looked like it. You know the setlist, but they came almost 15 mins early, 7. 45 and played til about 10.20 give or take a minute. Their energy never faltered, it was over too soon and I can’t wait to do it again Tuesday!

The post-GD-tour-void is kicking in right now😢 On the one hand I feel so happy and grateful that I was able to attend 4 shows and I'm full of wonderful memories, but on the other hand I already miss them and the time between tours is always so long.

Or those of us who aren't going 😮‍💨

You are a hard taskmaster!

What a great video to wake up to

On this day

Ah, on a desktop now. Okay, so it looks like ticket requests go live at noon. Fingers crossed we get them y'all.

The full show is on YouTube!
