On this day 8 years ago (21 January 2017), Green Day played in Krakow, Poland on the Revolution Radio Tour.
I remember having a conversation with the staff at Mountain Warehouse in Falmouth about whether a wizard-themed tent for kids would be suitable for camping on a snowy street in Poland (it wasn't and they were worried I was going to die). Fortunately no-one camped overnight. I got there about 6:30AM and was 15th in the queue. There were fans from Finland, Ukraine and all over Poland there. A girl from Warsaw said the ticket and travel costs were an entire month’s wages to her, but it was her first chance to see Green Day and she knew it would be worth it.
People gave out "bang" signs in the queue and everyone held them up during Bang Bang. Billie took one of the photographers' cameras to film them. Scattered was the highlight for me. Such a shame they didn't keep playing it.
