The Saviors Tour is over. Share your stories, feelings, tattoos, fanart, etc

[solongfromthestars]

Fans have called it 'life changing' and 'the best tour yet.' It wouldn't have been what it was without the fans, so of course, we have to commemorate it with a GDA article featuring those fans!

If you'd like to be featured in the article, go ahead and share your feelings, stories, tattoos, fanart, or anything else you think is relevant, in this thread. Please include your country and the name or alias you'd like to use. If you feel comfortable sharing your age, please include that too.

You're also welcome to share anything in this thread even if you don't want to be featured in the article, but please state that so I know not to include you.

If you don't want to post in the thread, you can PM me or contact GDA on Instagram or Tumblr. You can also contact me personally if you have me on social media or WhatsApp.

----------------------------------------

The deadline to be featured in the GDA article is 20 October 2025.

Of course, you can still share whatever you want in this thread after the deadline, but it won't be included in the article.

Rules

There aren't any! It doesn't matter how young or old you are, how many shows you went to, or even if you couldn't make it to a show. You're still welcome to share your experience of following the tour online or wishing you could go.

----------------------------------------

If you're not sure where to start...

Some questions you could answer:

• Had you seen Green Day before? How did this tour compare?
• Did the Saviors Tour inspire you to do anything?
• What was your favourite moment or photo?
• Did you get onstage or meet the band? How was it?
• How many shows did you go to?
• If you couldn't make it to a show, did you follow the tour online? Did you watch any livestreams?
• Which song meant the most to you when you heard it or watched a video of it?
• Have you made any fanart relating to the Saviors Tour or era?
• Did you get any Green Day tattoos during or after the tour?

You don't have to use these questions. They're just examples in case anyone isn't sure where to start.

The American Idiot article might also give you some ideas.

Can't wait to read all your stories!

I was in Madrid show... LOVE to hear dookie entire! Im 45. listening Green Day since 1994. This was my third Green Day show after buenos aires 1998 and Madrid 2009. I had ticket to Glasgow 2016 but was cancelled.

BEST song played in this tour is i was there. Hope to hear It in a live album release

[Stewe]

My name is Stefano, I'm from Italy and I'm 35.

 

I've started following the band on 2009 after became a fan in 2005.

I can't get to a show on the 21st Century Breakdown world tour but I've seen the band live for the first time in 2013 *(after I've attended to a cancel show the year before).

After that I'd saw the band in 2017 and 2022, and everytime the band did a tour, it seems to me it's getting better than the previous times and the Saviors world tour was no exception.

The whole Saviors era felt special to me because I love the album so much (the standard edition it's in my top 3 album) and also it's my first time seen the band twice (almost 3 times) during a whole era.

Talking about the shows, after I couldn't get the tickets to the club show in 2023, I've finally saw the band in Milan the year after.

I can say that the show was awesome, everything was amazing the scenography, the band was on fire as always and the setlist.

I've love Saviors 's songs even more on a live setting and been able to see American Idiot and Dookie in their entirety exceeded my wildest dreams. I was in the pit rocking to every songs while I did a few photos and videos to had the memories after the show ended.

I was only disappointed that the band had to cut Minority and Bobby Sox of the setlist 'cause I'd love to hear it, especially the new one, but I still couldn't know how the following year would go.

The band return to Europe in 2025 and I've got the ticket to see them in Firenze.

Made the trip and also stay a few days to visit the city and also I'd walk by the hotel where the band was supposedly staying since I saw lots of people with Green Day t-shirt, unfortunately I didn't see the band members.

Anyway let's get to the show.

I was in the pit a little bit closer to the stage since the venue was a little bit smaller.

The show was amazing even though it was shorter.

The band was on fire and the setlist was awesome.

They played Minority and Bobby Sox which left me disappointed the year before in Milan but that was expected.

This show's setlist was shorter but filled with surprises.

They played 80 and Murder City in full ( and I'd lost my brain to both) plus a partial versions of One of my Lies to 86 and At the Library.

I was exalted after the show and even I was tired I was so full of energy.

Of course I was singing the entire show while I was doing photos and videos.

It's a very amazing tour and Saviors also became the soundtrack of this two amazing years.

I was also amazed by the livestream we've got (Rock am Ring, Isle of Wight and Corona Capital in 2024, Coachella, Hurricane and The Town in 2025) which of course I've watched it all, even if not in real time.

My favourite Saviors's songs is Dilemma which reminds me of a few tough years in my life (a few years before COVID-19 and the lockdown period) which I've experienced dark thoughts and it seems to became like an addiction to me.

Of course seen the song love in person and on the stream had made me emotional.

A soft spot also belongs to Bobby Sox since my best friend is homosexual and a few days after Firenze's show he proposed to me to become his best man to his wedding.

A special era ended and I can't wait to know what the band do in the future

I‘m Elke from Germany, age is not important.😉

I only discovered GD with the release of Saviors (which I deeply regret…), so the Saviors tour was the first tour for me.

In 2024 I saw two shows, Nuremberg (Rock im Park) and Berlin. Nuremberg as the „first contact“ was amazing, and somehow I ended up in the - admittedly quite tame - moshpit. It was a lot of fun and I only got out of there for a while when Billie wanted a wall of death.😂

Berlin was great, too, of course but somehow I don’t remember much. I seem to have spent the evening in a kind of daze… I remember that there was a light rain and that the atmosphere was magical somehow, but sadly not many details.

In 2025 it began in Vienna. At the first show there, I (and my husband) had front of stage tickets and a great evening. But you know: the second night is always better than the first! I went alone, I had a VIP ticket and I queued for the first time in my life. It was a great experience to see and get to know so many like minded people in the queue, including some from the GDC.😃 With the help of the VIP ticket I managed to get front row. It was awesome to be so near to the band and be able to see everything in detail. One of the deep cuts was Forever Now, and I love love love this song so much! It was one of the best nights of my life.

About two weeks later we went to Luxembourg. And this was special, too. First it was nice to see that a lot of those crazy fans from Vienna were there again. Besides Luxembourg is a charming place in itself, and this combined with the hype of GD fans everywhere and extraordinary heat (hottest week of the year) made for an atmosphere never to forget. The show up on a hill in the city was perfect. I was extremely happy.

…and felt quite depressed during the following days when seemingly everyone went on to Amsterdam for the next show. For which I didn’t have tickets. Feeling left behind in still horribly hot Luxembourg wasn’t nice.

But then we went on to Belgium to see GD one more time at Rock Werchter. This is a pleasant festival. We really enjoyed the atmosphere, and finally at 11 pm GD came onstage and everyone went crazy. What a night! My highlight was them playing Saviors, my favorite song of the album.

Slight post concert depression for the following weeks until the South America tour began. Then at least I could watch all those fan videos on Instagram and get hyped up about the question what deep cut had been played. 
And now? As a relatively new fan I‘ve never experienced a time „between eras“. What to do now? I decided that I somehow had to fill this void they left behind and bought an electric guitar. You are never to old to start learning an instrument….

I've been a fan since 2005 and I saw them live for the first time in Greece so it was obviously a blast. I was right in front and it was a great experience.
