they haven't played in indiana in 11 years, i feel your pain :P the past three times i've seen them i've driven seven, eight, and nine hours, respectively. 

they are playing st. louis, chicago, columbus, and detroit just on the first part of this tour though so they're starting to make up for it!!!

I used to be part of the "come to the Midwest" movement but I really can't complain anymore. Two Ohio shows in less than two years? Fuck, I must be dreaming. :lol:

They haven't had their own show in the Netherlands for 7 years. Last time they were here was in 2013, but they headlined a festival. Maybe that's the reason why they haven't been to a few places in the past few years because they weren't able to do a proper tour during the trilogy.

I saw them when they came to Winnipeg (1 hour north of Minnesota, technically the mid-west) for the 21st CB tour, and they only sold around 7,000 tickets and sold out in most other cities. 

I had a feeling they weren't gonna be back for a while. 

Maybe they are just testing the water in the big cities first to make sure they can still sell out arenas, and if sales are good, will do a second part of there tour in mid 2017 after Europe for the small to mid-sizes cities.. That's my guess.

If I had a passport or had a way to travel out to Winnipeg I probably would. Be about as far as I would go for a Green Day show though. Too bad 95% of Minnesota's civilization lives like over 5 hours away from Winnipeg including me and that's coming from me living in Northern MN

Yeah, there's not really much in northern Minnesota aside from a lot of Indian casinos lol! I'm sure it would be more likely Green Day would play in Minneapolis or St. Paul before Winnipeg. I saw them at the Xcel Energy Center before and it was awesome 🙂

Yeah lots of casinos for sure. I live less than a minute from one actually, I can look outside and see it from my house. I'd love to see them play Target Center or Excel, or even US Bank Statium, although it'd be hard to sell a 70,000+ venue in Minneapolis where the other 2 are more like 35,000 tops

I live in one of South Carolina's biggest cities and they never come with 100 miles of here.

Bus/Train/Plane to next city... 

 

Everytime a band from USA or Europe come to Argentina I have to travel 250 miles to see the show in Buenos Aires... Or more if they just go to Brazil or Chile...

They've come to denver every tour so far except for the 99 revolutions tour. It got cancelled because of billie being sent to rehab. :( i hope they come again and i can gets tickets

Because they hate you.  

You are the reason they stopped playing the superb "Midwest Melody".    Because they hate you.

Same goes for the South too... It's all about the markets and where they make the most $$ music biz yo
