Unreal. Nothing against Fall Out Boy but would’ve preferred someone like The Offspring or Jimmy Eat World.

Reckon loads will spend Fall out boy at the bar.

Big fan of weezer and green day. Would rather not listen to fallout boy.

I think you’re underestimating just how big Fall Out Boy are....they’re above Wheezer on the poster sure. And headlined Reading/Leeds last year

hynesie08

Are any of these bands releasing new material soon??? Cause these 3 ripping through the hits would be a cracking night, but i don't have any interest in seeing anything they've done post 2011.......

blahfckingblah

Are the interrupters only playing the US leg of this tour?

Bit of a stretch to say they headlined considering they played second last both night on a co-headline. Was a bit of placating some egos and Biffy not bothered only being given co-grains status. Probably would be bigger than weezeralright though

Looks like it, if they were playing here it'd probably push me over the line to go.

Defo gonna be twiddling my thumbs in the middle. Don't know a single song of FOB.

Pity Weezer are gone to absolute sh*te.

2000 me is doing backflips. Any idea on prices?

I only know they did a great cover of Beat it by Michael Jackson.

Doesn't appear on recent setlists though.

EWBAITE and White Album was good, last 2 (+covers) rubbish

80 blips.

DepecheHead101

Remember when Green Day released a triple album?. Christ almighty, I remember thinking "who the hell do you think you are?". I can't remember a single tune off any of them.

Still, this sounds about right. Three dumb throwback bands in one fun night. One for the leftover xmas money, p'raps, if tickets are still floating.

PTH2009

I'll be going for the grandstand this time not that bloody Angelesa stand

Did they? Okay fair I was just going based off the poster. But yeah I think they’re bigger than Wheezer and there’ll be more people there for them than Wheezer

With Harley Davidson as the big Corp sponsor

By god hope they produce the security for this gigs. Drunk Irish lads would be really put in there place lol

Furious-Red

For 80 euro you are def getting moneys worth for the 3 bands.

Agreed would have preferred Weezer in Trinity or Iveagh Gardens but still will pick up tickets for this at some stage

PTH2009

This is from €78.50 so that could be the price of about 50 cheap tickets and the rest will be €100+

they will prob go the whole hog with golden circle and all that ****e

Expect to pay more than €80

Try to keep it that way. Pure dirt. Hopefully I never meet that bassist in person. I'm not a violent person but he makes me want to punch things!

Literally any other band would've been better.

All 3 should be confined to their material pre 2000.

Listen to take 'this to your grave' too 2014s save Rock N roll albums (partially skip foile a deux) great tracks. Stuff after that doesn't appeal to me

30 year old is very happy right now after growing up listening to those bands. Fall out boy amazingly the only one I saw live and it was 2014

zuutroy

Last time I saw Green Day was in the SFX in 1998 :eek:

Always loved Weezer so I've seen in them in Toronto, Leeds, Dublin twice in 2005, and Amsterdam a couple of years ago.

aj89

Saw Weezer in Brixton in Jun. They were great.

Fall Out Boy played Download Festival 2014, and I was pleasantly surprised by them.

Can't wait for Hella Mega!!

So much negativity here, **** me

I'm a grunge kid (over 40) & Greenday and Weezer were the soundtrack to my teens! Circa 2007 I came across FOB's "Infinity on High" album and loved it!! This will be a great gig!

The only draw back is that this is on a Monday. Vulfpeck played 2 gigs (a Monday and Tuesday) in the Olympia last October. The difference in atmosphere was huge between the 2 nights, it seemed that people were still not over their weekend hangovers for the Monday gig.

showpony1

Had a look at the recent setlists - Green Day and Weezer seem to play the hits.
Fall Out Boy a lot of "newer" stuff as in after the first 3/4 albums - could under stand
them wanting to put in few new tracks but living out things like Grand Theft Autumn?

Wouldn't go pitch 2 again in RDS too far back so will try for pitch 1/Gold Circle nearer the time
when people flogging them.

Have to agree. The Blue album by them is a bonafide masterpiece. A stunning album from start to finish. Perfect blend of catchy songwriting with killer riffs. I was 15 when it came out and i never stopped listening to it. Still gets a spin every few months. If they had continued with that quality on their album i firmly believe they'd be one of the biggest bands in the world now. Such a shame they went bland.

So never seen Weezer live so will probably go for a few of the old hits. Saw Green Day at Reading, great crack. Fall Out Boy can **** the **** off.

Pure Loonamus

Wow so much hate for FOB. Listened to all 3 growing up, FOB only band I would still listen to regularly out of the 3 of them, and the only one of them I've seen live (twice) - Riotfest 2013 outdoor gig they were only OK, and London O2 2018 which was surprisingly one of the best gig's I've been to, cracking atmosphere, entire place knew the songs and great stage display. Would say they are much bigger than Weezer based on their popularity in London, more appeal to young and old.

bennyl10

Weezer are the openers on this tour for a reason, they're the least currently popular..

Weezer will get aPprox 45mins
FoB an hour(maybe 1 15), so their full set without an encore

GD 2 hours then

Blue album is great alright. Pinkerton is actually pretty good too and the green album isn't too bad either. But they fall off a cliff after that!

Aye a few good tracks on the green album and Pinkerton is well good but blue is the pinnacle. And what a cliff they fell off then.

The price is good but a Monday night

seandotcomm

Weezer were unreal in Lisbon a couple of months ago. haven't seen Greenday since Wittnness 2002.
FOB weren't too bad supporting Chilis a couple of years ago in Belfast but not my thing really

'Everything Will Be Alright In The End' and 'The White Album' are both definitely worth checking out. The few albums before them were crap enough, but these 2 are their best in a long time

Might be difficult to confine Fall Out Boy to pre-2000 material given they formed in 2001.

Grand Theft Autumn is usually a mainstay, just not at the last two shows (festivals in Japan)
More like this for their own shows: https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/fall-out-boy/2018/the-o2-arena-london-england-6bef62d6.html with Disloyal Order, Hum Hallelujah, Thriller & Lake Effect Kid usually being rotated in every now and again. Chicago is so two years ago gets the odd showing too, could be worse :pac:
(Lake Effect Kid is a pre-Folie demo they finished/released last year https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=O68VJ6g1qfk )

jack presley

While none of their recent albums have been classics, there have been plenty of decent tracks on all the Weezer albums going back to the Red Album. Make Believe was rubbish h though.

ofthelord

Fall Out Boy I never listened to so not too pushed about seeing them, but Green Day and Weezer I would love to see playing. Loved these guys since they came out and still listen to their stuff a good bit. Only had Pinkerton on in the car yesterday.
I'll definitely be looking for tickets to this show!

Whoosh....
That's the joke.

endainoz

Not the biggest Fall out Boy fan, but they definitely have a few big hits from the mid 00s that are definitely memorable. Admittedly I haven't listened to much green day since American idiot but it's an iconic album. Pair that with international superhits and that's all the green day I need. I remember seeing them in 2005 at Oxegen during the American Idiot tour. Amazing stuff. I still like Weezer too, I even enjoyed the cover of Africa and I'll enjoy it at the RDS next summer too.

Love so many of the album tracks form under the cork tree and take this to your grave! things like "centuries" have no appeal at all to me.
The take over breaks over would be another good one live not there.

PTH2009

With green day find it weird guys who are almost in there 50s singing like a bunch of teenagers but what can ya do
