I’m very curious to see where they go from here. Another split tour? Or will they attempt to do this again on their own? There’s no way they don’t come back for more $$

Realistically, they have about 10 years to cash in before calling it quits/changing their show so I think they’ll want to be efficient with their touring/release schedule.

I really hope they just do a regular tour. I get they may want to do another monster tour in the future but they have to know that not everyone loves Hella Mega.

Well, I think it seems clear that doesn't matter since HM did so much better than their previous tours. Obviously, I still maintain my opinion that HM is an atrocity, but it's a profitable atrocity so if they're able to repeat the success, they have no reason to go back to normal tours, unless they want to appease GDC user Beerjeezus. (And unfortunately it takes little to do that).

I feel like they would do a regular tour and not just exclusively do these atrocious package tours.

I hope they do a run of club shows again. That was seriously my favourite way to see them. But I understand these big headliners pull in more money.  we’ll see!

I guess they should if they care about not being an exclusively legacy act. How many albums do they want to release and not play live? But maybe a regular tour but with fewer dates and stadiums? The thing is, I think they went for the package tour because they wanted to coin themselves as this legendary 90s/00s nostalgia band and it drew lots of people so maybe that's what they'll keep going for. Slowly rolling out some of the old material like the BBC sessions fits the vibe too.

The tour as a whole was, it grossed 90M spread over two years while the Idiot tour grossed 68M over two years. But 2005 on the Idiot tour was the biggest individual year they've ever had for attendance and gross.

I'd prefer that as well but it doesn't sound like that's what Billie wants: "We want to keep playing stadiums, Green Day is a stadium band.”

Wow, I got to see this tour at the ballpark of the 2021 World Series winners! Pretty cool!

Another post from Jake: "Life has really been put into perspective recently. As many of you know I was in an accident a few months back & I don’t need to get into details but my world has since been flipped upside down. Luckily I’ve had a few consistency’s like the support of my family, my girlfriend, my best friends and all of you. There aren’t enough words for me to describe my appreciation for all of you and the new appreciation I have for life. I’m happy to be here, getting better one day at a time. Can’t wait to face this adventure head on with you all ✌🏽" https://www.instagram.com/p/CWPX5zOlhtG/

Does anyone have any inside info on whether Green Day will add more shows (solo or hella mega) for next year?
 

Potentially for countries they missed/ cancelled due to COVID? Australia in particular 😈

Sounds like Jake is doing well

The first European dates for the tour is at the end of May and the first hella mega shows are mid June. Is a tour abroad going to happen at all? I'm just unsure what to expect for next year, it seems like it's changing day by day.

Hopefully we'll know more in the new year once the scientists have had a chance to weigh up this new variant? I think it's anyone's guess at the minute...

One report I saw said that Onmicon wasn’t making very people ill and I think we are going to have adapt to this sort of thing for a while.

[GuitarPunk94]

in germany we already cancel our big carnival events in february/march

i think big summer events (in germany) could take place with our "2G" rules (only vaccinated and recovered people allowed, maybe they even need a negative covid test)

or they get completely cancelled ☹️

(atm we have a 7-day incidence rate per 100,000 of 452,3 and only 68,43% fully vaccinated)

Yeah, it's sadly here to stay, like the flu. Just gotta hope the vaccine continues to be effective against the new strains.

Mhm. I hope that we won't keep getting worse and worse mutations.

Nothing has been cancelled so far here. But there's quarantine rules, and if it keeps going like this, events might be limited to a certian amount of people. If that's still the case, it will be difficult to tour. Every country has its own rules and regulations. I feel like May/June is too close, but I hope it works out.

They should make it to the UK, the governments shitting themselves way less than in the EU.

That's mad. You guys aren't getting big events ever unless policy changes.
