I've not seen any Coachella videos so I don't know how good the set was, but this part of the review surprised me: 'In lieu of added staging or guests (a little of friend and occasional co-performer Billie Eilish would have gone a long way), Armstrong relied on classic rock concert tricks for audience engagement.' I'm so glad Green Day don't usually bring random celebrities on stage. I know festivals are different and the Coachella crowd must be a difficult one, but Green Day are still considered one of the best live bands in the world - they don't need a celebrity appearance to engage the audience. And it's cool that they give fans the chance to have the best nights of their lives on stage, rather than giving some other musician publicity. I also don't really understand how that would improve a shit performance 😂

The short sleeved shirt he wore during the Go-Gos set had me in a tizzy. I’m so annoyed he’s not wearing one tonight. You’re in the DESERT, LET US SEE THE TATS.

Sorry to miss the watch party but I didn’t know it was in this thread. I posted in the show thread wondering where everyone was. I feel silly 🫠 I agree with those who said this was an amazing show, I can’t believe how tight they sounded. Just spot on perfect performance. Bobby Sox was the best I’ve ever heard it. And it is truly mind blowing how they can play an entire set of hits like they do. That’s how you do Coachella

For as small as the rock genre has become over the years, I think it says a lot about these guys’ showmanship that they not only rock a crowd of that size that hard, but to headline it this many years into their career is crazy work. They may not be the very top of the bill, but god damn for as many forces that are pushing back at them, they are soaring over that shit. Well fucking done, can’t wait for next week too!!

I may complain about Green Day's setlist but damn they never disappoint. They are just phenomenal on stage. That was such a great show! Even with the minor sound issues they were amazing. Hoping they throw in some different songs next week but either way I know it'll be a great time.

Billie is so sick of the way this guy is playing Also him trying to join the bows and he got removed lol

Holy shit ANOTHER Palestine lyric!! That’s my GOAT 🐐 “Running away from pain, like the kids in Palestine”

The band is getting a lot of positive reviews on the main Coachella thread on the Reddit page. A lot of people are hearing the band for the first time in years on there. So ya love to see it!

I know a standard festival setlist isn’t especially exciting for those of us who follow them closely, but keeping in mind this crowd likely largely hasn’t seen them perform before, this is a super impressive set of hits. And they’re playing EXTREMELY tight tonight too

Gah Billie looks sooooooo good at Coachella! I told my BF it doesn't make sense that Billie looks that good. He just looked at me like 😑

Sara just replied to a comment of mine of insta. I'm famous. 😅

Early April is what I consider my “Green Day-versary” and this year is a big one! My dad got American Idiot when it first came out and I was resistant to liking it at first — I liked heavier, darker rock at the time and felt like Green Day was too upbeat for me. But over the next few months and hours upon hours of listening to them in my dad’s car, they grew on me (or “wore me down” is probably the more correct phrasing ). I admired them so much for the political statements they were making and just thought they seemed like really awesome people. My parents eventually got me Shenanigans and International Superhits on CD and I’d comb through every word in the liner notes. I’d never really taken an interest in band members before and Billie really changed that for me, because I had so much respect for him and found him so talented. This is not the fangirl thread, but yes, I also found him impossibly attractive in all the ways. In early April 2005, I realized that perhaps Green Day meant a bit more to me than most bands. I’m now the age they were when they released American Idiot and it’s hard for me to wrap my head around all they’d already accomplished at this point in their lives, and how they created a timeless masterpiece in their early 30s. The AI-era version of them seems so young to me now. Part of me feels like I’ve loved them for 20 years, part of me feels like it’s been no time at all, and part of me feels like I was never even me before I found them. It is crazy to think they’ve been part of my life for two decades, but I’m so glad they have been, so glad I’ve gotten over breaks I’ve taken from them in the past, and so glad I’m here and they’re here and I get to witness them still doing awesome stuff like playing Coachella for the first time. I’m having more fun as a fan now than I ever have. What a ride.

I’m so proud of our guys! They looked and sounded excellent 👏 sucks there were sound issues on the live stream but those things happen. Can’t wait for next weekend!

Hey but Billie gave us a little tease when he took off the tie and unbuttoned his shirt a little 🥵

These big festivals you have to do it strategically, not to sound technical or business like, but it’s got to be a good mix of hits and casual fan songs. They’re not likely to do the usual Coachella shtick of having a guest up there so they have to kill it and I think it went really well. You start adding deep cuts and you can plummet quickly at these things

Shoutout to that guy for doing the studio intro for Good Riddance lol

“We are the kids of war and peace, from Palestine in the Middle East” THATS WHAT THE FUCK IM TALKING ABOUT BABY!!!

I find it EXTREMELY cool that they’re a headliner this year. Amazing to be asked this far into their career, and what great exposure to a new audience!

Again, I'm not allowing any AI slop to fill this website. Make another thread and you will be suspended for spamming.

15 April On this day in 2009, Green Day played the Uptown in Oakland – the last time they played 21st Century Breakdown in full. On 15 April 2005, Green Day played the University of Miami Convocation Center in Coral Gables, FL on the American Idiot Tour. More photos: So that’s a wrap. I hope this project will be a great resource for many years to come. It was a lot of work but I'm glad I completed it. I’ll eventually add new events as they happen and go back through the thread to remove ‘_ years ago’ so it will always be relevant (I definitely don’t have the time or energy to change the numbers each year). I still need to add some things I missed in the beginning and quite a few Saviors Tour shows. I’ll post when I add them so if people want to see them, they know what to look for. If anyone would like to reminisce on the anniversaries of anything, whether it’s shows, albums or videos, please continue to do so! The best thing about this thread is people sharing their own experiences

They did an awesome job! So grateful whenever this stuff is livestreamed, it’s fun to be part of it.

“Gimme the guitar back pleeeEEEeeaseee” LMFAOOO

Shit like this is why my "Green Day phase" isn't just a phase.

Setlist aside, this is the most energetic, well performed show these boys have had in a long while. The energy in that desert looks amazing!

Thank you for you kind and very true words: I'm just so glad to have found them! And this community of course!❤️ (Although I'm sometimes still angry with myself for doing this so late, where the fuck did I live not to notice them sooner??) But these days with new music coming soon and the Coachella pictures everywhere, I have to say that the feeling ist still getting more intense. I can't express how much I love this band... If this continues, I'll be a nervous wreck until the Vienna shows. 🤣

If they bring out Rock and roll all nite after this i’m gonna cry

Just noticed Billie hit 3 million followers.

Full show, minus the encore

American Idiot, One Eyed Bastard, and Welcome to Paradise are now on the band’s YouTube channel.

Exactly this. When you find something during such formative years of your life, it really alters the course of your life, I think. My political views and just general values align so much with theirs that now when I read an interview them and love what they’re saying about the state of the world, I have to laugh because we’ve basically just gone in a circle. I love what they’re saying because they’ve influenced me for the better from a young age. And same with me too in taking a break from them — I couldn’t really divorce my identity from them even when not actively engaging because they’re just so a part of me. It is so cool and awesome that we were both able to get back into them and be able to enjoy such a fantastic time in their career and in the fandom. It has been such a joy to be part of it.

There can't be many bands that have over 30 years releasing albums, that have attracted new generations of new fans along the way time and time again. I'm so happy for @stories and songs and @cris and many others of course. And if I'm correct more recently @Mollyluna, to find and have GD in their lives. I, like many others of course, have been with them at the start, but always made up to welcome anyone with love to GD land, whoever they are, wherever they're from. There's no barriers with music, it's universal for everyone. And we all love the bestest band ever of course.

Chart update- Alternative Airplay- 21, up from 22 Mainstream Rock Airplay- stays at 22 Rock and Alternative Airplay- 30, up from 34

14 April On this day in 2012, Green Day inducted Guns 'n' Roses into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. They also performed Letterbomb. More photos: On 14 April 2010, Green Day performed four songs on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. More photos: On 14 April 2010, Green Day played the Fox Theatre in Oakland on the 21st Century Breakdown Tour. They played the album in full again. The show was partially filmed and videos can still be found on YouTube. If you only watch one, I personally think this is proof that Christian's Inferno should replace St. Jimmy for at least a few shows. I used to watch the knock-off DVD every other day after school. Also had a shirt from the show (from eBay) that I wore to death. More photos: On 14 April 1991, Green Day played Coconut Teaszer in Hollywood, CA. On 14 April 1989, Green Day played Psycospecific in San Francisco, CA.

Billie's comeback with the "I'M BACK" and dorky profile pic is so cute lol

Catching up with the Coachella footage. Billie looked and sounded fab. His hair is almost a mane and the touch of eyeliner. ❤️❤️ That tease taking his tie off. 💥🔥🔥

Also did I spot eyeliner on Billie tonight? 🥰🥵🫨

This sounds like the best Bobby Sox live version yet

@The GrohlI’ve been wondering if I’m hallucinating his hair blowing gracefully in the wind like a model.

No matter how many times I hear it Brainstew sounds so badass and grungy....even when Billie forgets the words lol

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE VIP SECTION GODDAMNIT! good one Billie 🤣

I lose an hour off my life every time they play that instead of like, anything else.

ughghghh billie is so cute. He seriously ages in reverse. "Who is on mEnTaL HeAltH MeDicAtiOn" lol relatable

Billie’s hair looks delightfully poofy this evening I’m happy to report

I love when we all gather on one thread and watch the concert. It's like a GDC sleep-over lol oooo i didn't even notice that when I posted some from Mike's pictures on his Instagram story. Maybeee

Yeah you know what, we don’t need AI slop filling up this website.

When your co-worker is talking to you about Earth Day events, and she says Green Day instead of Clean and Green. Just looking at me makes people say Green Day!

I'm very appreciative of the tight shirts Billie has been wearing lately.

Love this description of Billie from that review: “Still sprightly at 53, eyes still kohl-rimmed and twinkly.” Indeed. I do somewhat agree with that reviewer that Coachella would be the place to do something different from a scramble of greatest hits. A lot of artists do something unique for their Coachella set from their standard concert. I take zero issue with the song choices (perhaps She and Warning would be nice additions for this crowd…I also want Bang Bang but don’t know how many people would know that one). But I would’ve liked to see them presented/structured differently — maybe by year, leading up their biggest hits from AI and 21CB, which that crowd would likely be most pumped for (as the reviewer noted). I think a condensed Eras Tour-style set would be neat. This isn’t meant as a criticism, they played phenomenal last night. But I think if there’s one place to play around with the set a bit and add some pizzazz to the presentation, it’s Coachella.
