Chin for a Day Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 I just mapquested the driving distance. Thankfully, it is almost 14 hours. Now I don't have to figure out a way to break it to hubby.
lizziebix Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 btw...for anyone driving...I've heard there are always really long lines to get into the track so get started earlier than normal.
BilIie Joe Armstrong Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Come 2 Prague !!! I'd pay anything to see Green Day at this point, but this is really expensive and the line-up is a complete bummer. Whatever, I don't have to worry about this. It's really positive that they're starting to tour again. Seems Billie said "little while" after all.
AlissaGoesRAWR Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 UGH, so, I'm taking a pole... do I buy the tickets or not? I just mapquested the driving distance. Thankfully, it is almost 14 hours. Now I don't have to figure out a way to break it to hubby. You're going too?!
Chin for a Day Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 UGH, so, I'm taking a pole... do I buy the tickets or not? You're going too?! No, if it was closer than 14 hours I would have been making hubby some nice drinks tonight. That is just a little far to drive. Plus, shows seem to keep popping up. I'm sure there will be something in the NYC area eventually.

I really don't expect them to come to Ohio again anytime soon, since they graced us with a three-day celebration.
BilIie Joe Armstrong Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Something's up their sleeve. I'm telling you.
UNICORN VOMIT Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 I'm legitimately impressed that the people who put this festival together managed to create such a completely shitty line-up. It's not worth upwards of $300, even with Green Day in the line-up. Can you buy 1 day tickets - the price would make it an expenive 3 days. Sorry Kay just saw your other post.
DookieLukie Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Green Day has been giving a lot of places that no one cares about shows.

Mar Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 UGH, UGH, UGH. This is definitely within driving distance for me, but I do not have the stamina to stand around at a festival for hours, especially it it's boiling hot. I physically cannot do it. And no single-day pass? That would have been the ONLY way I could have considered this, but I cannot afford that (even though the lineup is pretty good) and I could not survive three days. What a bummer. I fucking hate the rise of festivals in America. (I can't complain too much given I got to go to HOBHOF in Cleveland, but yknow, damn, this is a bummer!)
JardyOfSuburbia Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 UGH, so, I'm taking a pole... do I buy the tickets or not? You're going too?! Do it! I think I'm buying a ticket tomorrow. It's a nice little road trip for us! What a bummer. I fucking hate the rise of festivals in America. There are so many fucking festivals nowadays that it's ridiculous.
Mar Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Ugh, I'm torn. It's a 4 and a half hour drive for me which isn't bad at all. I'd also really like to see Weezer and Bleachers and Flogging Molly is always fun...but I'm conflicted with that ticket price. I have no interest in seeing the other two headliners. Also, The Orwells were the WORST band I've ever seen live. I guess I'm only going if I can convince a few of my friends to go. Would be a fun mini vacation this summer. Saw them open for Arctic Monkeys? I got SO lucky that Columbus was the last show the Orwells opened for, and at my Detroit show we got Saint Motel, who was awesome and now they're blowing up and I love it!
Chin for a Day Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 There are so many fucking festivals nowadays that it's ridiculous. That is so true. It used to be that there were a handful, New Orleans Jazz Fest, Bonaroo, Lollapallooza. And they all had awesome line ups. It was special to go to a festival. Now they are everywhere. No wonder they can't get great line ups anymore.
AlissaGoesRAWR Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 "There may be some single-day passes made available shortly before the event, HOWEVER quantities would be limited and there are no guarantees." How in-demand do you think these would be? More importantly, how much would they be? Would it even be worth waiting? I'm a music festival virgin.
Chin for a Day Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 I wonder if Billie will travel to Kentucky in his new trailer.
sara_gd Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Oh my God. I hope this means more shows, please. I'm considering it but if they don't sell day tickets then no way. I'm excited and sad at the same time
Ross_19 Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 I've read the article on GDA, but none of the posts in this thrwad because I've just got home, so sorry if I'm repeating a point. This caught me by surprise, I didn't expect them to be headlining a festival this summer. I thought to myself when i heard about this, that it is strange because bands usually only play headline shows at festivals when they are releasing music and promoting, and with Billie's recent comments it appears unlikely there'll be anything by August. But either way, whether there's new music or not, this is great news!
Cath Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 IM LATE BUT OMG BECAUSE I SWEAR GREEN DAY, WEEZER AND BLEACHERS ARE MY TOP 3 FAVORITE BANDS??? WHY WHY WHY why does nothing great ever happen in canada? we're nice.
Laura! Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 I'm so torn. I could literally only go if they play on Saturday because I wouldn't be able to take off Friday or Monday since it's the beginning of the school year. I really don't think the 3 day pass would be worth it for me but at the same time I really really want to go. Do I take a risk and wait for single day passes and hope they play on Saturday? Ugh, there are times where I hate having my "big girl" job and this is one of them.
sara_gd Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Maybe Billie will call Norah and they can play Kentucky Miranda Lambert is there I've just seen, maybe they do play some country song I think.
belinda jane Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 EVERYONE SHOULD GO!!!!!!!!! peer pressure. do it. ESPECIALLY you Hannah. i'm looking at you!
JardyOfSuburbia Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 That is so true. It used to be that there were a handful, New Orleans Jazz Fest, Bonaroo, Lollapallooza. And they all had awesome line ups. It was special to go to a festival. Now they are everywhere. No wonder they can't get great line ups anymore. It's much like music in general today. Everything is so saturated that it's a bit much. Saw them open for Arctic Monkeys? I got SO lucky that Columbus was the last show the Orwells opened for, and at my Detroit show we got Saint Motel, who was awesome and now they're blowing up and I love it! They did open for Arctic Monkeys down in Columbus and it was so bad. The lead singer was totally out of it. I saw Kongos open for The Airborne Toxic Event for free in Chicago back in 2014 and it was right before "Come With Me Now" was everywhere. Same thing happened with In The Valley Below. Saw them last fall and then "Peaches" was everywhere. I had never heard of either band when I saw them. "There may be some single-day passes made available shortly before the event, HOWEVER quantities would be limited and there are no guarantees." How in-demand do you think these would be? More importantly, how much would they be? Would it even be worth waiting? I'm a music festival virgin. God, me too. I've never been to a festival and have no idea how to go about preparing. I am for sure buying a ticket tomorrow. I convinced a buddy of mine to tag along and we shall have a grand time.
