How many shows has Green Day played all together?

[Metanoia]

I always wondered about that as well!!

such a great fact kind of

[Pinheadstern]

yeah no way this can be answered

[Laura!]

A lot.

But yeah, like everyone else said, it's impossible to know for sure.

Is it a kinda rhetorical question?

I would say definitely more than 1000.

I read this as, "how many showers have Green Day taken togther" ... I think i need to go to bed earlier.

I don't think Billie counts the shows they play... maybe he does... where did you see that?

I thought it was possible to know more or less, but after searching for a while, I've come to the conclusion that it's not. Here it goes:

Setlist FM says they played 13 shows between 1987 and 1990. I think they played more than 3 times on Gilman, so let's say 20 shows aproximately.

That's something like 330 shows between 1991 and 1993. SetlistFM tells me they're 54 though... I don't think it's very reliable, plus I know they were in my city around those years (I think 1992, but I'm not sure) and that's not even there.

Dookie: I know that they were in 6 cities in Spain, but there's only 2 on GeekStinkBreath and 1 in SetlistFM. GSB says there were 32 shows in 1994, and SetlistFM says they're 54.

1995-1996: SetlistFM says they're 39 and GSB 25.

On Greenday.com says that in 1998 they did 8 shows in Japan, but SetlistFM is only aware of 3.

We could go on like that until American Idiot, where I suppose everything is more reliable.

8 shows before the record was out (Reading and stuff), 6 shows on the Club tour, 159 (if I counted right) during the actual AI tour. All this by GSB.

Then there's the FHT shows (and well, The Network ones before American Idiot) and then the shows they did before 21st Century Breakdown was out, that were 28 shows acording to SetlistFM.

The 21st Century Breakdown Tour was a total of 131 dates, from GDA, that is maybe the only thing we know for sure.

So... there are 760 shows listed on SetlistFM.

There are something like 320 shows between 2004 and 2010, and probably something like 300 between 1987 and 1993. We can assume another 300 or maybe 400 (counting the Pop Disaster Tour and all that) between Dookie and American Idiot, and that makes more or less 1000 shows. But it's only guessing.

Aww! Good researching, looks like there isn't really a way to find out then. Only 13 shows between 1987 and 1990? They must've played millions of little shows in that time. It's probably possible to work out from Dookie onwards but seems like most of their many, many early shows went unrecorded after all.
