2025/07/02 - Ziggo Dome, Amsterdam, Netherlands

[Susi Sour cream]

The show was amazing!

Saviors was just wow. Totally unexpected. When they started playing it I was a little confused for a moment. I thought "Wait, that's Saviors. Saviors?? Holy shit, SAVIORS!!!" 😅

For me that was definitely the highlight of the show.

And I also loved that they played Revolution Radio ❤️ 

In total I'm very happy about the setlists at "my" shows (Waiting and Forever Now in Vienna, Saviors and Rev Rad in Amsterdam).

And I'm not sad about Fuck Off not getting played yesterday 😅

Out of the three shows I went to, Amsterdam was my favourite one - the energy, the setlist, just everything ❤️

Stuart and the Ave, 86, Waiting and Forever Now not good enough for you? 😡
Just kidding. Saviors is a nice song, but we got some great songs, I wouldn't switch for a minute haha

ROLF

Is never enough. I said it mostly because a good friend of mine went to that show and it would be an excellent time to be together. But oh well

[Beathe.]

I was curious to see how this show would go with the weather because it was so warm in the morning, but in the afternoon it wasn't hot anymore at all. I was actually a little cold during the show and had to go and change before I got my after show snacks. 😂

I got barrier on the side of the stage/by Jason. Wasn't the best spot but without getting VIP I was very happy with it. 😊 The golden circle section was smaller than the Vienna shows and it worked well in my experience. 

2000 light years away was the highlight for me. 🩷 Loved that they didn't play Fuck off and it was fun with the changes they made with Revolution radio, Saviors and Look Ma, No brains. 

When Billie Joe said "I'm playing Good riddance tonight" with a smile on his face I laughed out loud. 😂 They all seemed very happy and smiled a lot. The more shows I go to the more I see how much I love this band. 💕

After this tour (this was the last show for me) I've realized that I need to start buying VIP tickets. Shows is so much better from front row and when you're around people who love the band as much as you it's a better experience.

When I was waiting outside the venue I heard some talk about Good Riddance/Wonderwall and this one guy said "but he tell you which words to sing and which notes to play right". And I'm like what. If you don't know the lyrics why would you want to get up on stage in the first place. I laughed at the Wonderwall thing but come on. 😅

I left Italy without a hoodie or a light jumper because I looked the weather and it was supposed to be hot. 
Yeah sure, let's talk about the wind and the rain in the afternoon. It was cold. But I arrived at the venue at 9 am straight to the airport and I was melting. 
As I said to 2 girls that were behind me, "I'm a stupid italian who thought I'm going to the north, it's going to be cold" LOL 

Talking about VIP, I had the CAS one and I ended up on the side of the stage by Mike. I def have preferred a more central spot considering the price. 
Not angry at all because I arrived the day of the show so I literally did my best. But idk about this VIP thing. 

The show was AMAZING btw.

It was very hot in the morning for sure. Wasn't expecting the weather to change that much and after the show it was cold too. 

When I see how it's been with the last two tours getting VIP makes more and more sense to me -  of course I would prefer how it was before they sold VIP tickets, but it doesn't seem to be going away so. 

The show was really good. This was easily top three after Vienna (first night) and Oslo for me. 

[thesoundofhysteria]

I need your help

Does anyone here have a video of Boulevard Of Broken Dreams, where Billie was on the right of the stage? 

I had a paper that said I was only spending 1 night in Amsterdam coming from Italy and Billie tried to read it on his way back to the left. I would love to find a tiny video 😆

That is hilarious. How would that even work out. 😄 

I think this show might actually be my favorite of the 3 I've attended on this tour. I loved all 3 and Oslo might have been my fav if it wasn't for being crushed and fighting for my life during entire Hitchin a ride and Burnout lol. This time as well my spot happened to be right next to a mosh pit but I still felt like I was able to breathe and it was very fun how so many people around knew all the songs, even the deep cuts. Also loved the sound quality at the arena. The whole show felt like a big party and it was such a lovely atmosphere. My only complaint is the amount of sweaty dudes who think taking their shirt off while they mosh is such a good idea but oh well 😅 

Miss the tour already. Love to be in the Green Day bubble.

I know. It would be a mess. 🤭 That guy wasn't the brightest. Someone in line asked him if he had been to Anne Frank's house while in Amsterdam and he asked who, looked real confused and started to Google. At that point - mixed with people smoking cigarettes and weed I was like let me into the venue already. 😩

The moshpits find you! Embrace it.👸🏼 Honestly though, the mosh pits in Oslo looked harsh. Kudos to you. 💕 In Amsterdam no one was pushing where I was standing so I was dancing and had a cup of water infront of my legs without any problems. 🤭 Glad you had a good time. 🩷 This show had a good vibe in my experience too. 

Agreed! It's so much fun to stand next someone who get's excited when they play older songs and all of you sing a long to every word. Yuck. Sweaty dudes is the worst. Taking your shirt of in the middle of a crowd is just nasty. 

Same here. Don't want it to be over. 🥺 I like other bands too but there's something about bands that you've grown up with. I've read that bands you listen to as a teen can have a lasting impact on you and can also connect with you as you grow older. I feel like that's true for Green Day. I like a lot of other bands too and I go to several shows when they tour as well, but it isn't the same feeling. This fanbase is overall nice too. With other bands there's a lot of weird stuff going on both online and at shows - there's assholes in this fanbase too sure but it cannot be compared to other bands and their fans.

He had to google Anne Frank? 😱 Just wow. I can imagine. I did see quite a few who lit up cigs and weed inside the venue as well. 😅  

They certainly were. I think part of what made the ones in Oslo so rough was that it was seemingly no limits to how many people who were able to get in from the sides during the show. With the lack of space it got a bit out of control imo. 

Agree on the other band part. I love to go to other shows too but it never feels just the same, as you say, both because of the band and the fans. Apart from the drunk guy in Stockholm and some people here and there who shamelessly sneak their way towards the front just when the show is about to begin, I actually can't recall ever having had a bad experience with other fans at a GD show. 

[Adrian xX]

What was the openers (warm up band) name? The girl thats the frontman?! They were killer!

Yes. I was like wow. Please let us in. I want to leave. 🤭 The cigs and weed inside the venue happened the last time I saw them at this venue too. I had gone to several shows in a row then and was a little confused about where I was when I smelled it I was like I guess we're in Amsterdam. 😅

Very true. They didn't controll the amount of people. I asked them before the festival if they would give out bracelets or something and they ignored my message. I did write it in the feedback form to the festival but... 🤷🏼‍♀️

Exactly. A couple of bands I like are currentley making new albums which means tour dates. I'm excited about it but it isn't the same as with Green Day. 🩷

Same here. The bad experiences I have had at Green Day shows have mostly been in France so not queing there anymore (except if they do a show like Bataclan again) and some small stuff here and there.

It’s the same for me. I have two (or maybe three) all time favorite bands that I follow even more closely than the other artists I listen to because I discovered them as a teenager and they have profoundly shaped my music taste and maybe even my personality a little bit. I listen to a lot of other bands too, but whenever a Green Day concert is approaching, I literally get nervous, even if I haven’t been to that many shows. There’s just a level of excitement I cannot quite reach with other bands and it’s a bit like a drug. You want to feel that excitement over and over again.

Unfortunately, all of my favorite bands are a lot older than me, so if I stay healthy, there will be a time in my life without them. That’s why I hope that the break between tours won’t be too long 😂.

Absolutely. Parts of my early teenage years was very difficult. American Idiot came out when I was 13 (now I'm 34). They have gotten me through hard times and it makes me emotional to think about how they've constantley been there. 🩷 

Same here. I get excited for other bands too but it cannot be compared and whenever a Green Day show is finished I want to go to another. 

Fingers crossed for not waiting too long for more tours.🤞💕 Some of my favorite bands are around my age or a little older but I doubt they'll keep touring like Green Day has so I feel like I should get as many shows in as I can. 🤭

[thesoundofhysteria]

After the show in Amsterdam, thinking about all the predictions for the future, like maybe they'll come back in 4-5 years, I thought oh sh1t, I will be 35-6 (94 baby here) I will be old (No offence to anyone older than that of course! lol) I mean, even if I will be 40 it will be okay, at the end. But I am a bit afraid of this age gap 
It feels like the age gap I had between 99 rev tour and rev radio one, even if it was 4 years also there, it was less "intense" since I was 19 and 23

It might help not to think too much about it! And besides, just think of how old the band members are, and they don’t give a shit and just keep going… You don’t have to act your age, as long as you are healthy. And please don’t ask how old I am!🤣

Excuse me 👵🏻 

Green Day have been around for years so their fans' age is definitely all over the place. That's one of the things I love about them. We all got into them at a different age and for different albums. Getting older doesn't mean that you stop enjoying music and going to live shows. 💕

I am too! 🩷 I miss queuing and all that before they started with VIP tickets. Now I'm standing next to people who by their conversation is casual listeners - nothing wrong with that, but I want to be with crazy Green Day fans. 

 

 I missed it too for the Lux and Ams show where I didn't queue! I feel it adds an extra something to the experience, you get hyped with the rest of the people in the queue during the day, and at the end they are the ones around you, so it's really enjoying the concert with friends. I still ended up having a lot of fun at both shows though, and Amsterdam was my favorite show of the tour.

Miss the tour already. Love to be in the Green Day bubble.

I was also right next to the mosh pit in this one! (kind of in front and of the right of the edge of the mosh pit) - it somehow worked in my favor because every time the mosh pit got intense I was pushed further and further to the front I started the show about midway between the catwalk and the back of golden circle, and ended about 4th row on the right corner of the catwalk.

The only stressful time was at the end of the show, Tre threw some drumsticks to my section of the crowd, and all I could do was try not to get trampled as people rushed to try to get it. I swear at some point my feet were not touching the ground and my body was at an angle with regards to the floor, being sandwiched between people trying to bend and pick the drumstick. And I didn't even see him when he threw them, so I didn't immediately understand what was going on and felt just blind panic for about 5 seconds.

[Cris.]

I was also right next to the mosh pit in Lux (to the left of it), and that one was a bit more stressful though. I had a family with a small kid next to me and I was stressed for the kid most of the show, trying to make sure no one would fall over her.

I have heard similar comments regarding France from @solongfromthestars and @Rumpelstiltskin2000, but my very limited experience queuing here was the Paris and Lyon shows last year, and they were both quite nice! No issues during the queue, everyone was friendly and respectful. Towards the end of the day there's always someone who wants to cut to the front of the queue and complaining or making stuff up about the numbering system/fan organized queue (the classic "I've been here since 3 AM but I didn't realize everyone else around me had numbers, and no one has actually seen me at the queue at any point of the day" 🙄), but I've found that to happen in most places, I don't think it was any worse or more frequent at these shows.

Hey! I'm 34, still queuing, jumping up and down and singing along to every song, and no intention to quit in the foreseeable future, and in the queues I've met people much older than I am, who are also traveling to see Green Day, also queuing all day to get a good spot, and also super hyped to see their favorite band. Your enjoyment of the band and of live music doesn't have an expiration date.

Definitely. 🩷

I wasn't queing for any of the shows. Same as the last tour before of the VIPs and it's definitely different. It's by no means similar standing next to someone who freaks out during 21 guns and next to someone who get's as excited as you when they play the deep cuts. Standing with someone you've been queing with all day at the barrier is sort of like "we made it". 😅👸🏼

My experiences with queing in Paris has been the worst. From people in the queue, the crowd and to security (all from handeling the queue/moving us to different places, letting us in, one guard physically held me back without any reason, I wasn't running or anything,  refusing to give information in English and one security guard wouldn't give me water until a French man next to me asked in French. It was very obvious what I was asking for). 

Glad your experience was good. 🩷
