Rumoured Green Day UK tour 2012/13

[Holly]

Please please PLEASE don't be next week unless it's monday or tuesday and tickets go on sale Sunday. If not I, along with many of the reading/leeds festival people, are a little screwed.

The bloody train tickets are gonna cost me a couple of hundred if its announced the day before. Good job I get paid this week and i have a mate with a flat in london, although whether she'd happily hand over the keys is another matter..

Gawd, hold on five more days to announce it please, guys.

[Harriet]

If it is next week please please don't be friday or saturday. Otherwise I'm good to go.

[Silent Duck]

Wish I could go but my passport expired last month. Can't really afford it either, better off saving for the full tour anyways. Hopefully everyone who wants a ticket gets one.

[Isabel]

London is only an hours flight away so getting there won't be a problem, its just the ticket situation.

Just been on Ryanair.com, their flights are ridiculously priced right now. Michael O Leary is obviously in cahoots with the lads.

[Holly]

I'm really hoping there was significance in the plurality of 'surprises', gonna hold on to that glimmer of hope that they're gonna play MTV Crashes Manchester until the actual act is announced.

[Isabel]

MAYBE THEY'LL BE GENEROUS AND PLAY IN IRELAND TOO.

*twitch*

[cocoepops]

Haha, you actually made it! That was unexpected!

Anything for the fair Irish maiden

[Trina]

Ugh. Martyn, do you think they'll be in the UK sometime on or between the 3rd and the 9th of September 2012? I ask because in your sig you have a "date" listed as ?/??/???? - only one question mark for the date. Also it would fit in with their schedule. Hmm.

[TheJedi]

Martyn, now you're talking about a secret show in Paris on twitter.. how do you know this stuff?

[Martyn]

Where you from? Shannon is only half an hour from me and there's flights 7 days a week so travel isn't an issue!

Don't even joke about something like that! I'd die of heart failure

Mayo. Knock would be handy but flights are such a pain at times + there's another 10 euro departure fee to pay + shizz...dublin just works out better a lot of the time

The number of question marks have nothing to do with the actual date, i realised if i had two - people would presume it's in August, haha. Had another date in there which turned out to be wrong, before i found out - whoops.

Martyn, now you're talking about a secret show in Paris on twitter.. how do you know this stuff?

That's based completely off rumours + the possibility of them playing + more importantly, the possibility i could get there! nothing concrete there as far as i'm aware of just in case!

[LittleBoyNamedTrain]

Based on the fact that Martyn tweeted a few days ago that he's at a gig the night before the secret show, I'm guessing 21st August is our date.

Sorry if this doesn't make sense. It's early.

Why are you people so impatient?Most of you know they will come to your country eventually so just wait and you'll see.

Imagine how I feel living in greece and knowing the chances for them to come here are as tiny as billies winner.

stupid stupid joke

[The Pedestrian]

The “surprises” better not be reading and leeds.... :/

EDIT: stupid idea. That wouldn’t require “being prepared” and they’re too big for a surprise set. Panic over.

[Daddy.]

Doubt I'll be able to see the show. Might chance coming down though.

Let's face it, they'll play here soon enough for the tour.

Good luck if you go to this "surprise" show

[farley drexel hatcher]

James Mcmahon from Kerrang has said he's interviewing them next week so i'd say that confirms they will be in the UK then.

[solongfromthestars]

Shit. We're gonna have to use the money that's in the bank for our Rock am See hotel if it's next week...

[ClaireLouise]

I wish they were playing Rock City in Nottingham. Now THAT'S a venue.

[Isabel]

I'm thinking/praying for the 21st or the 22nd. Less Than Jake is the 23rd and the 25th. If this clashes, I genuinely won't know what to do. Can't cope with that.

[solongfromthestars]

I wish they were playing Rock City in Nottingham. Now THAT'S a venue.

Yes. Definitely.

It's not my favourite venue or anything, but they should come to Nottingham. They just should.

[ClaireLouise]

I remember missing out on tickets for the Nottingham Arena gig in late 2004 so had to make do with Milton Keynes tickets. Best thing that ever happened! Haha.

[drugstore hooligan]

If they do put on a show in the UK soon ill be bummed cos I'm broke as hell. Ill just have to wait for the arena tour. Having no money is crap.

Maybe the concert will be on the 20th or the 21st 'cause Kerrang is out on Wednesday, so the interview (plus a report of the concert) could be ready by then...or they'll do the interview and then the concert during the week and the issue with Green Day will come out on the 29th

Having done work experience for Kerrang and seen the turnaround on live reports and interview, unless the gig was specifically hosted/endorsed by Kerrang itself for the purposes of an exclusive, I'd think it highly unlikely they'd have a report ready for a Wednesday issue if the gig was any day after the Friday before.

Although I wouldn't be surprised if the interview was next week along with a secret gig or two, then both as the cover feature on Kerrang for the 29th.

All this said, as long as the gig is before September 5th ill definitely be there as I'm on summer break from college until then, with some money in my pocket from my extra summer hours at work. Come on Green Day!! I've been waiting since 16/06/2010 to see you again.

This sounds more possible than having the gig on the Monday or Tuesday.

Maybe Kerrang! will have nothing to do with it and Green Day will play next Monday or Tuesday.
