Green Day UK tour?

[jump]

and yet the announcement for other shows around June-time has been put on hold.

So while they might be selling tix, they're clearly not confident that the show will take place, else they'd have that same confidence for the other shows they were going to announce.

I can only guess that things were too advanced or too complicated to pull this ticket sale then, and that they're keeping their fingers crossed that they don't have to cancel the show.

Is it more stadium shows or arenas

I'm not entirely sure, but I reckon the tickets won't go on sale on Friday.

There were meant to be other shows announced for tix sale on Friday, and the announcement has been pulled because of Billy's meltdown .... so I reckon this one already-announced show is also on hold but the message hasn't got thru to the ticket agents yet.

Could it be they a pretty sure the shows will go ahead but because of timing they are afraid the bad publicity of the one stage break down and rant could affect sales of their other live shows?

[jump]

That's pretty much what I think too. I think it's more about timing than anything else

i'm just putting it out there as a possibilty, it could also be Billie Joe has gone crazy and is gonna be chucked into rehab for 6 months then comes out and wants to spend time with his family.

[jump]

Well from what I've heard he's not even in rehab, just getting treatment at home but that's not for certain and not relevant to this thread but yeah, who knows really

if they'd made the announcement they'd announced they were going to make, we'd know.

So, anybody buy tickets for the emirates gig? I sure did - can't wait!!!

[GRichards23]

Yeah! Dead excited!

[Babyquack]

Ahhh!!! I so excited! Never been to a Green Day gig before - you?

And it's just after my 18th as well so will be a nice way to celebrate!

[GRichards23]

Never seen Green Day live myself either, massively looking forward to it.

Ah that's awesome man! Great post 18 event!

part of me is surprised these haven't shifted yet

[ar1]

I'm an old twat and have seen them 5 times already so am hoping that they do a Reading headline or a show in the North of England next summer for number 6

[dan05delaney]

Seen them a few times now and am holding out on tickets for a few reasons mainly .. 1) hoping for dates up north to be announced, 2) crimbo... why pay when I can get them as gift

Bought my ticket as well!

Tomorrow's announcement has been cancelled.

Their Wembley date a few years ago never actually sold out, whilst they are a massive band they aren't as massive as people make out.

[jump]

They were, just aren't now! and that's 90k,, this is 60k. Their dates at MK bowl a few years back sold out no problem at all and that's 65k shout a piece.

MK Bowl can accommodate 65,000, but that doesn't mean that all shows there use that capacity.

[thetime]

Wembley isn't 90k & Emirates isn't 60k for gigs as that's seating capacity for football.

The MK shows weren't an instant sell out and that was off the back of American Idiot.
