Nearly two years after its initial announcement, the Hella Mega Tour finally kicked off last night in Dallas, TX. Green Day played a career-spanning set that appropriately included a cover (something Billie Joe Armstrong became well-accustomed to during the pandemic); however, it wasn’t a song that was featured on his No Fun Mondays album. It was Kiss’s “Rock […]
After multiple setbacks and schedule changes, Green Day, Fall Out Boy and Weezer’s ballyhooed Hella Mega Tour is finally happening. On Monday morning (May 17), the trio announced the rescheduled dates for the stadium tour, which kicks off July 24 in Dallas and now includes new stops in Columbus, Ohio at Crew Stadium and at […]
Vulture has been doing this “Superlatives” series on and off for a while now, where they ask artists about their favorites and least favorites among their own music and mostly get very expected results. But their most recent one from last week caused quite a stir when Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong stated that he felt that […]
Green Day is celebrating the 25th anniversary of their Insomniac album with a gift for fans; a limited-edition translucent orange vinyl double LP, plus an additional LP with eight rare or never previously released live tracks including versions of “Geek Stink Breath” “Stuck with Me” and “Brain Stew.” The remastered set includes the cover art […]
Well, if you were worried that music may not return in 2021, here’s a sign that things may be looking up. Las Vegas fest Life Is Beautiful revealed that Billie Eilish, Green Day and Tame Impala will headline this year’s event, which is slated to take place Sept. 17-19 in downtown Las Vegas. Other performers […]
The Network made its comeback last year with Money Money 2020 Part II: Told Ya So! — its first album in more than 15 years — and on Friday night, Green Day’s “secret” band took the new material to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Though it’s common knowledge that Billie Joe Armstrong, Tré Cool and Mike Dirnt […]
Around this time last year, Green Day released their 13th studio album, Father of All… Obviously, they haven’t been able to tour behind it just yet (they were one of the first groups to postpone their tour dates due to COVID), but nevertheless, it seems like they’re continuing to crank away at new music. On Saturday, […]
Music in general is too rarely inspirational. It has too often become the white noise we shove into the background as we scan social media feeds. If music is a savior that pulls us together, we’ll need to embrace the resurrection of the almighty concept album. They fill in the small pixels that complete the […]
We know, we know — the best concert of all-time is your friend’s obscure indie-punk band playing a sweaty neighborhood basement back in ‘94. We admit that one slipped through the cracks. Maybe it’s a fool’s errand, but this list is our attempt to narrow down three and a half decades of worthy live music events […]
Green Day have been the masters of side projects. They have their garage rock project, Foxboro Hot Tubs, and if you can remember far back enough, a new wave outfit called the Network. The latter had been dormant for 15 years until they dropped a new EP titled Trans Am. The four songs are short, like […]
