Green Day Fanbase in Ireland?

[areyouseerious]

Hey all,

 

Just wondering if there is a large Green Day following here in Ireland, considering that only a handful of people I know have even HEARD of Green Day

 

Thanks,

 Here you go  It's a thread to talk to other Irish fans, it's been inactive for a while but it exists haha.

I would say they did have a good following in Ireland. They played Ireland every tour with the exception of the 99 revolutions tour. But that tour didn't make it to a lot of places. They always had a good turnout for their concerts.

Just want to add that you need to have 100 posts to view clubs

Talking about that, where is he? I've been quite inactive for a while and I see now that something has changed.

Well the last time they played here in June 2010 they sold out Marlay Park just eight months after selling out the O2 (whatever they are calling it these days) so there certainly were then. I know on Record Store Day when Demolicious was released there was only one copy left in Dublin an hour later so that's not bad. There are fans here but I think we just are less visible if that makes sense. Of course it doesn't help that most of the young Irish people have been FedExd to Australia or Canada in recent years

Yeah, they've done pretty well concert-wise here. Holiday on Awesome as Fuck is from Marlay Park IIRC? And yeah, emigration is a bitch

Holiday on Awesome as Fuck is from the o2 October 2009. I wish it was from the Marlay Park show cause Bille started singing "the Saints are coming" after the guitar solo.

I don't think they sold out Marlay Park, but I could be wrong! The O2 was a sell out alright, so they've obviously got a decent sized fan base here
