Little Boy Named Booze Posted April 9, 2018 Posted April 9, 2018 Hi, I heard yesterday that Green Day was supposed to do a Canadian Tour. Nothing was announced but the creator of the Rockfest (a City in Quebec) told that Green Day cancel a Canadian Tour and they were supposed to stop at the Montebello Rockfest Festival. Here is the link. It's a french website. http://99scenes.com/green-day-nine-inch-nails-ont-passe-proche-de-jouer-rockfest-2018/ Do you think GD still can announce something cool in the near future ?
Grinch Posted April 9, 2018 Posted April 9, 2018 I’m still surprised they didn’t tour Japan this time around. They always hit it every other tour
IcyMoffatt Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 QUOI?!?! GD AURAIT PU ÊTRE AU ROCKFEST!?!? Scuse, c'est l'emballement. Back to english now. It isn't the first time GD canceled for the Rockfest. I don't remember if it was in 2012 or 2013, but I remember the Rockfest to have released the official list/poster for the festival on the due day with GD on the top of it. But like 2 minutes later, the list/poster was gone and reappeared way later without GD on it. I think it was because the negociations weren't done when the Rockfest released the list and the festival was so sure GD was going to say yes.
St. Jonny Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 There actually is a tour in the works and there was talk of that. Montebello rockfest does not have the field to hold the capacity of people who would come out for Green Day considering how terrible the festival has become in the last couple years. They are just too BIG of a band for that festival. If it was in Europe, perhaps but they will never play Montebello, and for good reason. I know the festival organizers and they are some of the worst the world over, GD should never work with them.

Schlappy Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 This seems like rockfest asked them and they gave them a maybe knowing they would cancel later heh

The problem is that the festival is too big for Montebello. - It isn't normal that people need to abandon their cars on the side of the highway to go to the Rockfest. Highway 50 became litterally a parking lot. - Every year, the only grocery store of all Montebello became empty. And this caused grocery stores in Lachute problems in restocking during the weekend, even if this town is 45 minutes south of Montebello. And there are only like 3 small restaurants in the entire town. If you want to eat during the 3 days of Rockfest, buy your food in Montréal. - Another problem with the Rockfest is the camping site. People get so drunk that they can't find their way back to their camping sites and they just sleep wherever they can (even in strangers' tent). - And when the festival is done, Montebello looks like a garbage site. I would love to see GD back in Canada, but not in Montebello.
LaughingClock Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 Osheaga in Montreal is the best featival in Canada IMHO.

For a couple of years I eagerly anticipate the lineup and really wish to see Green Day as a headliner. Hasn't happened yet but still hoping it'll happen!! Billie did come a couple of years ago to play with the Replacements though!! -- Would be so amazing if the band did a Canadian tour, I won't even need to take summer vacations, the tour would be my vacation.
Thatsername Posted April 13, 2018 Posted April 13, 2018 Maybe Green Day cancelled the show because The Longshot is coming to the festival instead

(and maybe Mike and whoever else who is actually in a The Longshot, since we don't know yet!) It'll create some talk/tweets for sure!

Let's not forget the rivers of puke you have to navigate around all weekend... I remember the last year I went, I saw a random person barf all over someone's tent, then just walk away.

What do you want him to do. Babysit the puke? Maybe he should have wasted his whole day waiting for them there. Perhaps he should have alerted the authorities and sent out an APB for the “person with the tent”. Do you even think before you post? Jesus Christ on a stick. OK, I’ll stop kidding now. I worship you!
vicky1212123 Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 Wait, green day is touring again? is this just a Canadian thing or are they going to come to the states?
