blueboy Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 Just stumbled across this article about Green Day possibly going for a tour in Australia. Same as the USA, they want to do both club and arena shows. Original article is here (see if it's a reliable page), but I transcripted the important part of it here:Billie Joe Armstrong says Green Day is looking at an Australian tour for “February or March” next year. “We’d like to do some clubs as well as playing in the bigger places,” Billie Joe told the Herald Sun. “That’s an experience we haven’t had in Australia since the first time we have been there, playing the 300 to 500 seaters. Australian crowds go off - so being in that small a room would be a lot of fun.” Green Day are set to unleash their first album, titled ¡Uno!, this Friday and will follow that up with two more albums over the coming months - ¡Dos! - Nov 9th, 2012 ¡Tré! - Jan 11th, 2013 EDIT: Nevermind, just found out someone posted in Random News. Sorry.
Guest Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 No, I think this is worthy of its own thread. If Billie Joe's on record talking about an Aussie tour, we can safely open a thread for said rumored tour.
BradGreenDay Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 Hope they also NZ aswell through this...
Nishant1039 Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 I hope this will be followed by a full Asia tour!
Jessicabasketcase Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 http://www.take40.com/news/34388/green-day-2013-australian-tour-confirmed!
BJA TC MD Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 Green Day must come here!!! I need to go to a Green Day concert!!!
Emilie Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 I won't get too excited about getting into one of the smaller shows, if they do them. It'd be great but I'm not getting my hopes up yet.
TheJedi Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 http://www.take40.com/news/34388/green-day-2013-australian-tour-confirmed! So it is confirmed?
SuzD Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 Another rumour on TripleM this afternoon suggested that the timing lent itself to them appearing at Soundwave, which is awesome enough already - and sold out ..
TheJedi Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 What do their concert tickets for australia shows usually cost?:3
belinda jane Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 What do their concert tickets for australia shows usually cost?:3 Last time it was $100. I can't wait for them to come back here. They looked like they had SO much fun last tour.
Guest Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 I won't get too excited about getting into one of the smaller shows, if they do them. It'd be great but I'm not getting my hopes up yet. Maybe they'll play at that lovely venue where you saw MCR!
Mary711 Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 This is great news. Hopefully they're soon to be confirmed.
whatserbmae Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 Glad to hear this, I know a friend in Australia have been waiting forever to see them there.
The Breakdown Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 Another rumour on TripleM this afternoon suggested that the timing lent itself to them appearing at Soundwave, which is awesome enough already - and sold out .. Definitely not Soundwave. If they did play there, I would not be pleased. It's a great lineup already.
Emilie Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 Maybe they'll play at that lovely venue where you saw MCR! Oh yeah! That'd be amazing. As long as they don't leave all the under 18s up on the little balcony again.
Burnout98 Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 WOOOO! I'm not missing out again like in 2009, I haven't seen them ever, I'm so excited!!
Josh100_3 Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 Saw them the last two tours here. BEST LIVE BAND EVER! They should do a Foxboro Hot Tubs show at Cherry Bar or something. I'd lose my shit!
Android153 Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 Woohoo I'm praying they make a stop in new Zealand the last show was aammmaazzzinnngg
Neon Light Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 Can't contain myself at the moment. I did NOT expect a tour this early!!!! And intimate shows! It's really a dream come true. And I already have a ticket to Soundwave. Maybe they'll do a Reading and show up last minute!
Mato Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 Maybe they could play a show with The Living End. That would be amazing..
SuzD Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 Saw them the last two tours here. BEST LIVE BAND EVER! They should do a Foxboro Hot Tubs show at Cherry Bar or something. I'd lose my shit! That's about the most awesome idea. And they could get as drunk as they liked!
Christina. Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 I am delaying buying any tickets to travel overseas in February until I find out if/when they will be playing. I am reaaaaally hoping for early Februrary I feel like touring in late Feb- early March would clash with all the Soundwave side shows.
