But, would be nice! There could have been reasons they couldn’t reschedule it now and coordinate it with the European dates but with borders open again and more time to plan maybe they’ll figure it out later and announce a whole new show. I don’t know, like I said I’m just hoping since I live so close. It’s hard to imagine them skipping all of Canada, especially when Canadians physically couldn’t travel to any US dates. (I guess that’s true of all the other countries they’ve had to cancel or skip altogether but Canada seems the easiest and most attainable for a single show) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlissaGoesRAWR Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I’m still waiting for them to reschedule what would’ve been my first concert, in Cleveland in 2013. I wouldn’t hold your breath, sadly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They never tell you this part but after all the parties involved get their cuts, I wonder how much each band walks away with per person per show. Also I assume this number includes merch sales not just tickets sold? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For one thing, this was the first major concert tour post-lockdown, so people were dying to get out and see live music. Having said that though, I think this also proves that anyone who thought Green Day was not still relevant had their head shoved 9 miles up their ass LOL. This proves their is currently huge demand for their music, which I think makes sense given how perfectly it describes the current state of the world.

People keep telling us rock music is dead and yes, we struggle (certainly in Uk) to hear it on mainstream radio and tv, but clearly there is still a good appetite for rock. Hopefully with the interest around Machine Gun Kelly, Yungblud, Nova Twins and the like it will increase. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alt rock has suddenly become the big thing again in the U.S. As I said, I think we are in the right moment for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're mainly pop and some have shades of hip hop. There's a concerted effort by ClearStream to remove traditional rock from the airwaves. Nowadays, you have to have some extra flare or spice to your music. I don't see traditional rock music making a comeback until the next generation of kids is older. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those artists have rock elements and hits with those rock elements whereas a couple of years ago that would have not been possible. So I'll take it.

Possibly not traditional rock as the likes of AC/DC say, but they do lean that way to me anyway. Green Day aren’t really traditional rock either - at severe risk of starting a genre discussion! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
