2024/06/29 - Wembley Stadium, London, United Kingdom

[Hermione]

I was only a bit further back (three rows from the front but further over to the side just beyond Mike) and it was totally chill. I wasn't sure if anywhere was really crazy/crushed as I couldn't tell. I actually like it like that  (maybe because I've been lucky to not get hurt etc in the past) and was tempted to find a crazier part of the crowd but I didn't want to give up the good view I had plus the atmosphere was still lively enough to jump and dance etc so I took the compromise. If I'm in a stadium and can see all the band member's faces can't justify moving lol. But I'm glad there's still crazy areas with the crowd all moving together etc, although hopefully safe and friendly too of course. Thought maybe shows had become more tame but I guess not!

22 cameras and I heard they interviewed fans too. Cameraman talks about seeing the final result of something - sounds like we’re getting a new concert film ❤️

They should totally make a film along the lines of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour film. If you think about it, with Dookie and AI, this is kind of Green Day's Eras Tour.

Don't think these have been posted yet. From Green Day on Facebook 

I loved seeing TADIKM live and also Jakob coming out to play on She

I would love to see them do a "full" Eras tour. That would be amazing.

It really would be.

[Undómiel]

If they did do a full eras tour, what songs would you like to hear from each album? Bearing in mind it would have to be a maximum of three hours long... possibly 3.5 if they really pushed it.

Some pics of the show from Getty Images 

There's more but I've put them in the Billie picture thread so this post isn't too long

[Undómiel]

Has anyone got an HD photo of him sitting on the stage at the end, just taking it all in? 

[Rumpelstiltskin2000]

Beautiful pics! Billie looking out at the crowd at the end is

This from one of the film crew at the show

Can anyone spot themselves in the pics?

[Hermione]

I was looking at it like Where's Wally but no luck  

[Undómiel]

So we're definitely getting *some* kind of content from the show... whether it's a BIAB style thing or a short... Will be exciting to know!

Great article, but it fucks me off when people *still* spell Billie's name wrong. It's really not that fucking hard. He's one of the most famous rock dudes of the last 40 years. It's not like people talk about Mike Jagger, or Johnny Hendrix. Just get it fucking right.

Damn that stage design really was epic!

[Tomcat20]

Since we now know that the show was professionally filmed (which I really couldn't believe at first), I found out today that Ryan Crashburn's product company has already filmed the 2022 Hella Mega Show in London. But unfortunately this footage never saw the light of day. Hopefully this material will be different ....

I thought the whole set and light show etc were just epic, right up there with 21CBD.  So good we positioned ourselves at our second show to see it more front on then side on. Still couldn’t take my eyes off the stage/screens though.

I'm glad I got the patch from this as a memento, never normally buy merch at shows and only even noticed the merch booth because it was next to the Co-Op. I sewed it on a hoodie so now it looks like I'm walking around in an England football hoodie until you look closer lol. I just saw the patch for sale on Vinted for £75 🤣, maybe they're open to offers

Didn't buy any merch but I did save some of the bits of confetti with the one eyed bastard + saviors tour logos, laminated them and stuck them on my guitar. Felt the same, it was such a great show I'm really glad I have a permanent memento

I love the One Eyed Bastard confetti, best Green Day confetti ever! Adding it to your guitar is awesome and I might have to steal your laminating idea

That sounds so cool!😎 I really wanted to get a patch but I know the odds were low. I was going to buy a t-shirt from the outside merch booth until a steward came along, and said they have more options inside. Lo and behold, when we went inside the merch was identical to outside! I did ask about the patch when I was buying my OEB shirt, but they didn't have any. I suppose they'd sold out because it was about 5:30pm.

Agreed!🙌🤣

It seems that we will indeed have a new live album. Last year, we had already speculated about this due to an Instagram post by one of the camera operators at the Wembley concert, who said that 22 people filmed the concert and that he was anxious to see the final result.

Now I found this video posted this year, which I don't know if anyone in the community has seen. This company shows what it was like to professionally record the audio from the Wembley concert.

Thank you very much for the link! To me it looks like the preparation for a live album. Why else all this effort? I‘d expect the release after the Saviors tour is finished in autumn, or maybe for Christmas… Oh I really hope this will happen, and a live video too, please!!!
