Four. Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 According to the website 99scenes.com, Green Day is set to play OSHEAGA festival in Montreal, Quebec (Canada) this summer along with the band Phoenix. Here is what they had to say about the subject (translated by me): Green Day will be headlining Osheaga 2013. Billie Joe Armstrong and his gang's last presence in Montreal dates back to 2010, when they played at the Quai Jacques Cartier. We found it weird that Green Day only had one concert in Quebec city for the ¡UNO!, ¡DOS!, ¡TRÉ! tour this spring. Everything is explained now that it is confirmed they will be headliners for Osheaga 2013. OSHEAGA is known to be more of an "indie/hipster" festival, but have had more "mainstream" artists such as Snoop Dogg and The Black Eyed Peas these last couple of years, so everything is plausible. OSHEAGA is normally held during the first weekend of August at Parc Jean Drapeau in Montreal. http://99scenes.com/nouvelles/green-day-et-phoenix-confirmes-a-osheaga-2013/
~ Walking Contradiction Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 Hmm it's possible I guess...the European tour ends on July 13th. I wonder if the US tour will start with this festival, they'll go home for a couple of weeks surely after Europe? They can't tour 3 months straight...
IcyMoffatt Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 I hope it's true because I was a little bit surprise that there was no date yet for a concert in Montreal. Also, going to Osheaga would make sens. Green Day did one concert in the parc Jean-Drapeau back in 2005. And people getting back from Europe in North America normally need to stop in a East coast airport. So, it would make sens for the band to tour the East coast first instead of the West coast right after Europe.
Stuart&Ave Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 The official line-up will be announced on Monday. It seems real, but we will be 100% sure in 3 days. OSHEAGA is normally held during the first weekend of August at Parc Jean Drapeau in Montreal. August 2nd to August 4th. I thought you were some random person from somewhere unknown until I saw your picture in my "Friends" page, Lina.

I was wondering who this was aha. edit: since they were right about most artists for the FEQ, I think we can trust the website.
xXRustyJamesXx Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 did u know I want to visit a 'private' Green Day concert!
LazyPhil Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 I want to visit a 'private' Green Day concert! It will eventually happen, they said in an interview recently that they want to do a full German tour.
BullwinkleCheech Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 I think she means a show were Green Day is the only act They'll probably play Ziggo Dome first
1039Mike Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 I think the line up for this will be announced tomorrow.
Stuart&Ave Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 I think the line up for this will be announced tomorrow. It will.
Four. Posted March 10, 2013 Author Posted March 10, 2013 I can't wait to know the line up. And to know if GD is performing.
Kitty Purry Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 so is this like the canadian version of coachella minus the celebs? Sounds awful (the indie/hipster festival part not green day playing there)
xXRustyJamesXx Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 It will eventually happen, they said in an interview recently that they want to do a full German tour. I know but the tour may have been cancelled like the other dates...
IcyMoffatt Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 Osheaga will announce the set list tonight at 8 o'clock p.m. (source : sorstu.ca) So, just a few hours to wait until we know if the rumour was true or not.
LazyPhil Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 I know but the tour may have been cancelled like the other dates... Well it couldn't have been cancelled since it was never booked, they only expressed their will to play a full German tour.
Sarahnade Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 For people in the midwest, I just thought I'd throw it out there that Osheaga and Lollapalooza often share a lot of the same acts. I realize they played Lolla in 2010, but it's not completely unlikely that they could play again this year if this Osheaga rumor turns out to be true.
1039Mike Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 Less then an hour until the lineup is announced.
Cath Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 I wish it's trueeee! GD is now back, we've got pictures, reviews, videos, why not a new date here?
Tubbie Head Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 Since they're playing at Reading/Leeds, I doubt they will play at this one because they would have to travel to Canada and back again to the UK, isn't that right?
chichi Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 Since they're playing at Reading/Leeds, I doubt they will play at this one because they would have to travel to Canada and back again to the UK, isn't that right? Reading is from the 23rd to the 25th and Osheaga is from the 2nd to the 4th so there's no conflict.
Tubbie Head Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 Reading is from the 23rd to the 25th and Osheaga is from the 2nd to the 4th so there's no conflict. I guess they could come and go just like that (after all they did it before) but I don't know, it seems weird that they're playing festivals in Europe during the summer and then go to Canada and come back again...
