6 April On this day in 2013, Green Day played the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT on the 99 Revolutions Tour. On 6 April 1994, Green Day played the Howden Ballroom in Vancouver, Canada on the Dookie Tour. On 6 April 1991, Green Day played Bear's Lair in Berkeley, CA. -------------------------- 7 April On this day in 2017, Green Day played the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, NV on the Revolution Radio Tour. Oh my God, queuing for this show The entrance to the arena is inside the casino, near a food court. Three different songs were blaring at once. Others remembered Johnny B. Goode – which they were convinced was put on repeat to drive us away – but I only seemed to notice Roar by Katy Perry. The staff eventually said we could stay as long as we stayed awake. Someone tried to sleep in a toilet cubicle. I accidentally fell asleep on a table and a woman claiming to be a manager threatened to have me arrested if it happened again. We moved outside at some point. I don't remember it, but I apparently tried and failed to stop someone asking a prostitute about good places to sleep before falling asleep on the pavement. People started arriving from all over the world in the morning. At doors, a British staff member (called Bill, according to my recap) gave a speech about how he understood how long we'd been there and would get us inside fairly. He did. I wish British staff in Britain were that competent. The VIP tickets were sold out which meant there were 100 of them, but we all got great spots anyway. I was in front of Mike. I was so tired I wrote that I 'felt like I was melting into the barrier,' but the show was AMAZING. 100% worth it and the queue stories were hilarious. Some random tidbits from the recap: Mike was wearing the Otis jacket. Billie began the Holiday bridge with ‘Nevada, Nevada, place your bets!’ After Youngblood, he reluctantly announced ‘I’m kind of getting used to this Las Vegas Raiders thing’ before adding ‘fuck you I’m from Oakland.’ I'm not going to post the whole recap because it's just a load of emotional gushing. I took this photo: More photos: On 7 April 2013, Green Day played the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY on the 99 Revolutions Tour. More photos: On 7 April 2009, Green Day played The Independent in San Francisco on the 21st Century Breakdown Tour. It was the first time they played the album in full. More photos: On 7 April 1989, Green Day (as Sweet Children) played the Veterans Memorial Center in Davis, CA.

I keep thinking about all the Coachella folks who maybe haven’t kept up with Green Day in recent years and are going to fall absolutely in love with that man.

When he posted the Dominos uniform picture someone commented he should wear it on stage and he replied "Coachella?". I'm crossing my fingers for that Also I think the Saviors tour takes the crown for Billie's all time fluffiest hair on any tour

Still INSANE to me that the Saviors Tour started a year ago. That really flew by... https://www.cxnetwork.com.au/green-days-the-saviors-tour/

Chart update- Alternative Airplay- 22, up from 23 Mainstream Rock Airplay- 22, up from 25 Rock and Alternative Airplay- 34, up from 42

The set production was great I thought, a perfect fit and thrilling. Thanks for sharing @GreenDayJunkie86

I noticed that shirt was *tight* in Mexico. I appreciated it a lot.

Why would Green Day tour with Blink again? Even if they'd loved it, they've been there, done that. And the fans do NOT want another package tour, thank you! What a weird thing to complain about.

I saw a quote from the book on Reddit: Yeah it's not new info and I think it's pretty funny since they took it in turns to open on the tour and it was universally acknowledged that Green Day blew them away every night, and Green Day were openly trash talking them during the tour and stating their aim was the show they're the better live act. Green Day were bitter but only that a band they believed to be inferior was more popular than them lol. After their comeback with American Idiot they had nothing more to prove. It's really not a rivalry it's just one band being way better live than the other. Part about a rivalry/rematch is just cope

None of this is new information though, the issue with pop disaster is that while blink had the higher bill, as they were the bigger band at that point, green day were still smashing it, and blink struggled following them every night Difference is after pop disaster gd came back with AI so took over again. So perhaps that was a bit bitter for blink as they’ve never had that kind of resurgence with any of their comebacks. Plus Tom is a douche and using blink now they have the Kardashian connection and their treatment of Matt skiba was not cool

OMG THANK YOU HIS SOCKS ARE THE BEST PART OF THE OUTFIT Other than the tightness of it all It's like how Gerard Way (resident Emo fan-crush of mine) used to dress up as a drag Cheerleader during My Chemical Romance's last tour But better

Saviors would've gone number one in 2005 I will tell my grandchildren I was at the Saviors Tour It was that rad

I think since they did Hella Mega they might do it if the circumstances were right, like I doubt they'd have resentment towards them now. But there's no particular need for them to and definitely nothing to prove. Honestly surprised Blink are that into the idea when even though their live shows have improved Green Day would still blow them away lol

If Dilemma didn’t win the Grammy, I doubt Bobby Sox or OEB would. Not because they are bad, just that the Grammys like certain types of songs, mainly serious ones.

This thread has been dry lately. Let's spice it uppppp I love the pic of Billie mid-air. He's flying. I love Billie's socks

New Green Day post I had to put the rest in a spoiler because there is a million pictures lol Caption: Monterrey!!! Lovely night 🔥🇲🇽 Mexico☀️❤️🎉Let’s all get together and do it again☺️

none of the licensed songs are on there so probably not

At last. According to greenday.fm, Saviors album and streaming sales figures for April have now surpassed FOAM. https://greenday.fm/charts/album-sales/ It's taken some time I know, but it's no reflection on the album's quality of course. As the fans album ranking still has Saviors at 3rd place behind AI & Dookie. https://greenday.fm/charts/green-day-album-rankings/ It's just a sad reflection on musical tastes as punk has maybe lost it's hold on main stream, idk. Still, their loss. Can't think of many bands that have released such an awesome album, after 30+ years. We're the lucky ones. And the band continues to draw huge crowds at venues during Saviors tour. Still, imho, the bestest live band in the universe ever. From their humble beginnings of playing back street small clubs, to 50k plus stadia, it's always been for the fans. So proud to be a GD fan, so proud of you GD.

Self managed/Larry Livermore from 1988 - 1993 (dunno if Larry technically managed them or just ran the label Jeffrey Saltzman and Elliot Cahn (Cahn-Man Management) from 1994 - 1996 Pat Magnarella from 1996 - 2017 Jonathan Daniel (Crush Music) from 2017 - Present

I thought it was weird to use American idiot as the final song Holiday would have fitted it more in my opinion (No spoilers)

Would it be eligible for the Grammys 2026 when they "release" it now as a radio single?

Of all green day speculations that turned into a prank in the end. This is the worst april fools joke for a green day fan.

This is cool to see, especially a year later. I always thought this song would be a hit. The amount of work that goes into getting anything to succeed at radio is crazy. I worked down the hall from the head of radio promotion at a rock label. He was on the phone all day with radio programmers trying to convince them to playing our artists singles. It's all about momentum. If you can manage a few weeks of radio growth, things start getting easier. The stations that didn't want the song suddenly change their minds. Sometimes it was simple and other times he was more or less begging stations to play songs. He also had his own gold record for Dookie, which was incredible

Chart update- Alternative Airplay- 23, up from 27 Mainstream Rock Airplay- 25, up from 29 Rock and Alternative Airplay- 42, up from 50

Tricky but possibly 21CBD era for me. For those of you who don’t visit the fangirl thread, Billie in those striped trousers just does something in my head which blows all the other great looks, cool shirts, hair styles etc out if the water for me.

They certainly managed to make new fans with Saviors…😉 Before Saviors, I knew a band named Green Day existed, and nothing more. Well, THAT has changed completely!😃😃😃

Is it just me or Saviors has actually increased interest in Green Day? They've never lost it, I know, but after Foam, Saviors is doing really well. There is relatively large number of articles on social media.. but it's possible that agorithms are simply constantly feeding information about GD I'm tryin to compare RevRad era with Saviors era, but not only from a commercial perspective.
