Interesting to see tickets are laid out as Green Day w/FoB and Weezer.

Wonder would that mean a full 2 hour Green Day show then!

I got my tickets today too.

Just the 9 months to lose them then

Just bought 2 gold circle tickets on ticketmaster for this. Still some available.

If you want to give it to someone as a present, here's some artwork that is not as ugly as the ticketmaster prints:

Checked green days website another band added to the bill 'Amyl and the sniffers'

Had a listen to them there ok and a real start of the evening type band

Saw them last year in All Points East. Thought they were pretty decent but everyone else I was with didn't like them.

They were on Jools Holland a while back. Aussie punk..now that's a genre you don't hear mentioned very often!!
Serious energy and a little less refined than the other Hella Mega bands.

They're decent but this bill didn't need another band added

gates in the Uk dates are at 4, think MCD may need to do the same here now

I see France are looking to ban public gatherings of more than 5000 people, so we have another six nation's game in jeopardy. I don't disagree with it really, if some extreme measures need to be take for a couple of months or so it will be contained, and hopefully summer gatherings won't be affected.

This prob won’t be happening right ?

I'd say it's unlikely to be honest, they already cancelled the Asian leg of the tour which would be going on now, one of the first bands to do that but nothing is confirmed as of yet.

Just knew it was literally too good to be true. TOP / MCR / Green Day / FOB / Weezer - ALL in Dublin in the same week, just after the leaving Cert. ****ing virus is right. But if that’s what it takes to save lives then 100% that is what has to be done. Maybe they’ll all come to Reading Festival at the end of August instead (we can dream)

Green Days Asian tour is being rescheduled for March 2021
Hella Mega will be the same you’d imagine

That's a massive possibility alright

Clutching at straws here but if things do go back to normal by the end of June do you think they will split the tour and do some dates in places less at risk (we could be considered a less risk country by then PG) and then do the others in 2021

I'd say it's been well cancelled and all they're doing now is working behind the scenes to secure alternative dates, which won't be easy for outdoor venues in different cities, and there won't be an announcement til they can announce the new dates so it won't be all bad news

No, either the full Euro tour will go ahead or it won't - they won't do piecemeal.


In any case, I doubt that gatherings the size of RDS Arena will be allowed before the end of the year.

Doubt it Tbh, especially if the tour is being kept this big, reschedule for 2021

true

possibly 3arena gigs maybe the max gatherings for gigs til the end of the year

Lots of jobs lost for outdoor gigs like Crew, vendors, security etc

In all honesty, I would expect no gigs for the rest of the year at least. At best, restaurants and coffee shops might be allowed open for sit in again provided they limit number of tables and observe social distancing.

Tour postponed to 2021

Find the official press release of the artists below:

"In life, there is nothing that makes us happier than being on stage, and we were so excited to go on this tour, but given the current health crisis, we have to postpone some concerts of our European / UK tour.

We’re obviously as disappointed as you are, however the safety of our fans, staff and tour teams is number one priority. We are doing our best to finalize the agenda and reschedule the postponed concerts next summer. Keep your tickets well. If you have any questions, please contact your original point of sale immediately.

Keep rocking… safe… at home
