yup. i remember the Pop Disaster Tour in 2002 was the proving ground that their shows are still worth going to. while Blink-182 was the main event then, Green Day just proved that you can experience the fervor of a punk rock show (more specifically the 924 Gilman Street venue's vibes) when they ascend the stage

Great review and totally agree. Words like 'wow' and 'awesome' have been said multiple times about this show. It was my first time seeing them (I'm 53), and my 20 year old son came too. He doesn't think he'll see them again purely because he can't see them beating this one. Someone who attended 2 other times this tour said Wembley was something else. I wouldn't be surprised if years from now critics are calling this show one of the greatest ever - not just of this band. I had such an amazing time and am still on a high from it as I write this 5 days afterwards. I said after about 6 songs that we'd already got our money's worth. We feel privileged and special to have been there.

It’s cause it’s dookies 30th anniversary and American idiots 20th anniversary

Your review sums up exactly how I felt after seeing them in Dublin. To hear American Idiot in full, was an almost indescribable experience. It was the first punk/rock album I listened to and from that went on to get into heavier and heavier music but American Idiot will always be that album that put me on the path of rock and metal music. Dookie was amazing too but the nostalgia I have for American Idiot is just measurable. Letterbomb is also my absolute favourite Green Day song, it is just an absolutely certified banger.

Defo going next time they come! Although tickets for slipknot are sold out so next concert is sum 41! Happy anniversary DOOKIE and American Idiot 🔥

W take man! My favorite band forever and always. They’re the best to ever do it at this caliber

Travelled from Norway to watch this. I have loved Green Day since forever. This truly made my dreams come true.

Great video. I’ve been a Green Day fan since I was 14 in 2009, they’ve been my favourite band since then. It’s so good to see them on top of their game right now. Saviors is their best album since 2009 maybe 2004. Can’t wait until they come to Australia 🇦🇺

Homecoming is both mine and my brother's favourite Green Day song, we knew we needed to see this tour 😄

Saw them in Dublin and they were absolutely amazing. Best concert I've ever been to, over taking the MCR reunion tour

I was at the show in Glasgow scotland and it was simply the greatest live show ive seen, with both dookie and american idot plus more from the new album and some from other albums. Insane

I’m seeing them for the first time in September and I know it’s gonna be awesome!!

The year was 1994. I have a vivid memory of me sitting in math class holding onto my walkman and my Dookie cassette tape, just waiting for the bell to ring so I can listen to my new album. « Longview » was my jam. This was the beginning of new-wave punk and I was so excited about this new sound. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine the impact they would have 30 years later…

You're right that they do a lot of the same stuff at their shows, but honestly I don't care- I'm just happy to be there in their presence, and in that energy. I promised myself when I saw them that first time that I would see them at least once for each new tour. Though I would LOVE to see them at a secret/ intimate gig.

I think the repetition of their usual tricks is iconic because it is what makes them Green Day. Fans on stage, heeeeyyyyy ohhhhhhs, Billie Joe’s dramatic speeches, Tre’s weird antics and Mike Dirnting away, Time of your life at the end, the drunk bunny 🐰 It’s all just “them” and they’re so genuine, authentic and talented 💚

I was there too - my second time seeing them. Unbelievable performance. Loved every single second.

I went to the show in Glasgow at Bellahouston Park. Best day of my life! My first ever international trip outside of Sweden. I am so happy I made the trip🥰 I've seen them twice before in Gothenburg and Stockholm back in 2017 during RevRad tour. Wanted to see them again in 2022 but I listened to someone elses advice about keeping my money (so glad that that person is no longer a big part of my life!) + that I also needed to work. I can definitely say that Bellahouston Park was so much more amazing than any other concert I've ever been to! I was not center of stage but I was all the way to the left and at barricade amongst 35000 people and it was so cool! And I got a pick from a guy named Sam in their crew (he saw my sign) during Minority😭 I'd do it all over again if I could. The trip left me broke. But, anything for my SAVIORS❣ Next year they've kept me alive for a decade and I couldn't be more thankful😭❤‍🩹

First time seeing Green Day was in 2006 during their American idiot tour. Best show ever! They’re still killing it til today, seeing them in September!

This was my first ever concert and I loved it! I have the bug now and cannot wait to go see more live bands! Will 100% have to see Green Day live again at some point! Loved Green Day my whole life and it was amazing to see them perform at Wembley! Was the best day of my life!

That pretty much sums up the night I had last Saturday. I don't think Green Day will top that ever. What a moment it was. Great review.

I’ve been trying to watch greenday live for about 10 years and have bought tickets 6 times but because of exams and injuries missed out and to finally see them on this tour was the best night of my life

Such a phenomenal set list!

I agree with everything you say! I saw Green Day in Milan and I had so much fun that I had to go back and see them in Wembley. I would go again to another gig of this same setlist if I had the opportunity!

One of the best nights of my life for sure! had an absolute blast seeing my favorite album of all time American Idiot in full

HELL YEAH. I’m seeing them in San Francisco. Hopefully we’ll get a encore.

Was such a great show!

Going to see them in Toronto when their NA leg of the tour kicks off. It'll be my 4th Greenday show, and they've all bee unreal. Each time they played well over 2.5 hours. If you like even a little Greenday (they're my favourite band of all time) it's well worth it

I was there! It was my 5th Green Day show, with my first being in 2000 or 2001 for the Warning tour ☺️

Cant wait to see them in Toronto Aug 1st. With my son.

Was at Wembley- absolutely loved it.

I went to the 10th, 11th and 12th (Rock am Ring, Hamburg and Arnhem) Green Day show this year. I always said they never can top their shows from 2009/2010 shows. They never disappointed me live even after these tours. You know what? With this tour, they even topped all their previous tour! It was the best tour I‘ve ever been to! And I‘m pretty sure they will top themselves again with their upcoming tour, because Green Day they always bring out new ideas and still giving their best even in their 50s and I‘m happy for them most of the reviews are positive because they deserved it! I can‘t wait to see them again and already miss them! Greetings from Germany, such a good review :)

Saw them in Glasgow it was unbelievable

It was the most awesome show I’ve ever been to. The longest, perhaps, also. It. Was. Fantastic. Never ever have I been able to sing along ALL SONGS in a concert.

I remember Green day touring proper small scene venues before along with the Dookie album they was put on the road opening for Die Toten Hosen. So the german bands huge pull combined with MTV & Viva propelled them to have the same pull just international. So conquering Europe had to do with good management and booking work too, not just the Band being stardom material. But like Nirvana they turned from proper Underground into everybodies darling within a year or so. Must be such a deep game changer on the whole range of that magnitute of Experience.

I am going to see them in DC later this month. I saw them perform Dookie entirely in Belgrade in 2014. I can’t wait!

They got a fan onstage to play Dilemma with them, as well as the fan onstage during Know Your Enemy, which was fantastic! And the fact they did Dookie and American Idiot all the way through was just mind blowing! The set dressing with the mushroom cloud and the hand grenade was gorgeous and was complimented very nicely by the pyro. Even managed to catch some of the confetti shot out during St. Jimmy.

I was there too, agree with pretty much everything you said. Especially about the click, you could tell they weren't playing to a click and it was great to have that live rawness. Dookie also comes from an era when albums sounded more raw and had a lot less production and polish so for them to replicate that feel live really worked.

I saw Green Day back in 1996 in a very tiny club in Ft Lauderdale Fl. Maybe a couple hundred people. Stood right against the stage and had to go straight to the back because it was so loud I couldn’t hear them. Just sounded like noise. Still an awesome memory!

It was actually such a good idea to do these two albums and sprinkle in some new ones

My first show was edgefest 98' Greenday and the Foo Fighters were the headliners, they were amazing

Yeah mush it was a great gig, it's my fav concert I've been to, ahead of Muse in Plymouth 2023 which was awesome also!

I was there.... seeing them for the 8th time. It was an amazing performance

I was at wembley aswell, i was in a state of euphoria the whole time, ive been to so many great gigs, small venues to big venues, first time seeing green day (32) been waiting a long time and honestly green day at wembley was something special that i wasnt expecting, 100% this experience with keep coming back to me and bring a smile to my face every time. P.s. Time of your life was the song that truly kicked off my acoustic guitar playing and seeing it performed live, words cant describe.

I WAS THERE! First Green Day concert I’ve ever been to, and my daughters first ever concert. Got into Green Day when American Idiot came out, and I was about 12 years old. I had obviously heard other songs like Longview, Basket Case, but never really thought about it too much being only very young. It sounds cliche, but American Idiot really did change music for me forever, the way I listened and sought out new music, and my tastes for rock and punk music going forward. It was an amazing time and my daughter cried so much with excitement when they came out on stage (I also started crying 😂) a beautiful moment I will never forget.
