PLUS, a birdie told me that Billie Joe Armstrong is going to play a Green Day song with his son at this benefit. Also, Jello Biafra from the Dead Kennedys is on this bill. Spread the word!"

letsdanceon Posted December 15, 2016 Posted December 15, 2016 I kinda felt like it might happen when I saw one of the swmrs dudes post that they might have some really special guests with them 😉
MaraGreenDay Posted December 15, 2016 Posted December 15, 2016 1-2-3-4-Go! Records is doing a few shows too. "On Sunday 12/18 we have a show with VERY special guests and some of them will be announced Friday morning (7pm/$20 sliding scale)". The "VERY special guests" got me thinking

Just like anything else I'd imagine, first come first served, ya snooze ya lose, etc.

lizziebix Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 Seems logical to me considering his heartfelt comments on the loss.
Strychnine. Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 Wish I was out in Oakland just so I could go and be a part of the support for the Ghost Ship tragedy. I've already donated to some of the donation pools that were floating around on facebook, but it would be nice to be able to help more. I really hope Green Day fans don't try to make this about Billie Joe/Green Day and let it stay about what it's intended to be about.
IsaGreenDay Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 Seems like the first band went on at 8:40pm... Is it over? Did he end up playing?
Thatsername Posted December 17, 2016 Posted December 17, 2016 So it seems this is happening on Sunday? They write something about a very, very, very special guest here, too!
M0n3y Posted December 17, 2016 Posted December 17, 2016 Jakob Danger with a very special guest. Now who would that be Oh 'Murica, sometimes you're so far away
Billie Joes Eyelids Posted December 17, 2016 Posted December 17, 2016 I think it will just be BJ, not the whole band

Hoping for Green Day/BJA if only b/c Oakland needs all the love and support it can get right now.

It says "very special guestS" so we can hope for Green Day, or its either BJ plus some other special unrelated person. BJ will be there anyway for sure, being in that venue and for that cause.
ruskinator Posted December 19, 2016 Posted December 19, 2016 Green Day (minus Tre) + Pinhead Gunpowder. Photos on twitter @zackruskin. Will post a recap in a bit.
MaraGreenDay Posted December 19, 2016 Posted December 19, 2016 Pinhead?! Ugh, so jealous! But glad to see the guys there, I was sure they will be doing something like that, love how much they care for their home and the people there
Todd Posted December 19, 2016 Author Posted December 19, 2016 Tim Relva posted a clip of Armatage Shanks on instagram! Also, Pinhead???? I'm freaking out haha
LizTheRusher Posted December 19, 2016 Posted December 19, 2016 This is so cool. I'm glad they are doing such a special performance for such an awesome cause. Although, I am a little jealous that I don't live closer. I can't wait to see some videos tomorrow! I hope this event really brings some light to the people's lives who were efected by the tragedy; they deserve it ❤

Liam Posted December 19, 2016 Posted December 19, 2016 Just now, Todd said: I see that now! Someone was exaggerating a little They're probably playing PHGP songs but from the very few pictures we have, there's only one with Billie and Bill and they're clearly playing with SWMRS
