Hella Mega Tour 2020 (Green Day, Fall Out Boy & Weezer) 29th June 2020 RDS Arena

DepecheHead101 · 12-09-2019 2:45pm

The Fall Out Boy snobbery is definitely amusing given most of anyone outside pop punk aficionados would view all three bands with the same general level of pleasant amusement. I'm not trying to be a dick, either, I love all three. But Weezer have always been a stoner novelty of that Jackass zeitgeist and Green Day jumped the shark when they turned into a living, breathing version of Jeremy's '**** Bush!' poem from Peep Show.

Green Days first 2 breakthrough hits centred around firstly pulling the plum off yourself and then it was going to a male prostitute :pac:

Weezer wrote Only in Dreams.

Just an amazing song.

Ash did an even better cover on the b side to burn baby burn.

Don't think its played regularly. Pity

Would love to see a weezer Ash double bill.

With Charlotte back in the band. You know who she plays with now, guitarist for Birdy.

Stoner novelty? That's a new one on me. I'd also argue their peak was in the 90s long before Jackass even began.

Really that's madness appears they are dropping a bunch of their original numbers for sub standard versions of Take on Me, Africa and No Scrubs.

Re: Charlotte, Didn't know she was active tbh when she briefly came back to the band prob my fave gig I've seen of theirs, seen them a few times since not quite the same.

The stones have been doing that for the last 40 odd years.

Maybe for millenials, but those of us who enjoyed green day and weezer back in the 90s could gladly go without hearing Pete Wentz and Co's idea of pop punk. I wouldn't call it snobbery either. It's just that those two bands were pretty much done by 1999 and everything thereafter was an attempt to try and remain in the spotlight but nowhere near as good/releb3.

Forgetting that AI is one of GDs best albums and is the Main reason they’re currently relevant.

Weezer, without this tour are Academy level.

FoB would be Olympia or the o2

Done by 1999 is insanely wrong

Weezer are not academy level.

I'm sure they'd sell out the olympia. at the very least.

Guess he means Brixton Academy! Typically they do 5000ish capacity venues in Europe.

Fall Out Boy played the 3 a few years ago and it sold pretty well. They also co-headlined Reading/Leeds last year, and toured selling out the o2 in London. They’re much bigger than most people on this board are giving them credit for

circular flexing · 13-09-2019 2:12am

Interesting tour - noticed that in North America they are only playing in baseball stadiums which seems kind of odd.

In any case, Green Day's last good album was Nimrod and Weezer's last good album was Pinkerton. Judging by Weezer's recent setlists they seem to be ignoring significant chunks of their career. Saw Weezer in 2002 and 2005 when they did play songs from Pinkerton so I guess that will just have to do.

I don't think they're talking about Brixton.

A few bands are doing that now. Zac Brown band did something similar last year and released a t-shirt for each venue based on the home team's logo. The Dead and Company are another band who have done it.

in the UK they would be brixton level, here I think theyd struggle to sell Olympia at the moment,
while Fob and Green Day could do well in the o2
GD selling it

You weren't talking about Brixton academy though. That's what I mentioned to the other poster. You were obviously talking about Dublin academy.

Brixton is just under 5000 and olympia is about 1500.

Because they are much bigger in the Uk with a much bigger audience to pick from.(like many bands that are similar)

They'd sell out the academy here, sell a decent amount of the olympia, I think.

Again i may be wrong, never been a huge weezer fan.
But they're by a distance the smallest draw on this tour in 2020

zuutroy · 13-09-2019 9:31am

It was a joke, as I believe they're closer to a 5000 capacity draw than 500. If you look at the places they play in NL and Germany and so on they're around that size. No reason they wouldn't draw a similar crowd here. They did play the Point last time they were here, though 14 years ago is a long time!

Mcd have one through their website, codes sent next week

zuutroy · 13-09-2019 7:54pm

Anyone pining for mid 90s Weezer would do well to check out Dissed and Dismissed by Tony Molina. A 12 minute homage album.

On the Green Day site you can get a "UK Presale code" now, I got one just in case it works for Ireland

Very misleading tour name if you were a fan of the band Hella.

callaway92 · 14-09-2019 1:36pm

Saw Green Day at Kilmainham and Fallout Boy in the 3 a couple of years ago and really enjoyed both.

No particular interest in Weezer but will still be going with a few others who'd be fans of all three.

Should be a good one

Not sure how Fallout Boy would transfer to an outdoor gig - I felt indoors really brought out the best in them

PTH2009 · 14-09-2019 1:51pm

got emails from Green Day and Fall Out Boy web teams about presale codes. Siad they should be mailed by Monday evening with Fall out by mailing list ticket sales starting at 10am on the 17th Sep and Green Day mailing list ticket sales starting at 11am on the 17th Sep . Green day Webstore//album pre order sales start at 10am on the same day

Duff · 14-09-2019 5:30pm

I'll be in Paris while the pre-sale is on Tuesday. I presume it's 11AM no matter where you are?

Interested to see prices

Noelmcgov28 · 15-09-2019 2:34pm

I think a lot of people here are harshly dismissing Weezer's recent material.
The White Album they released in 2016 is on par with Blue and Pinkerton imo.

They release an album a year now which explains the dips in quality of their music but they definitely have released some brilliant songs in the past decade.

Saw Green Day at Kilmainham in 2016 was my first gig and it was a terrific night.

Fall Out Boy I don't care for I enjoy some of their stuff but their recent material is pretty awful especially the Mania Album..eww..

BurnUp78 · 15-09-2019 4:18pm

Crazy how 80 quid is seen as a decent price for a gig now.

When you break it down for the 3 bands you are getting on the day its really not that bad . If you went to see them at 3 separate gigs you would be paying a lot more

Tickets are €79.50 - €89.50 plus fees so 87-97 euro after fees.

Tickets for this will be going for buttons next summer ,RDS is way too big a venue .

Where'd ya see that? Having been in Pitch1 for Foo Fighters I'd gladly pay an extra tenner to be in there

Duff · 15-09-2019 9:24pm

When the pre sale starts do I just go to ticketmaster like normal to enter the pre sale code to get tickets?

Usually you have to go through the link they send with the presale code, as sometimes (I find) going straight to Ticketmaster just prompts a green spinner/happening now message.

With the bands considered, I wouldn't say it's too big a venue. I don't see it selling out immediately or anything. But it'll get a good crowd for sure.

38k venue, I don't see this selling out. Green Day could sell about 20k max, Weezer 3k max, Fallout Boy about 2k max

Fallout Boy played the 3 Arena in 2015 and there was approx. 10k at it.

For this gig its the "package" of the 3 bands that will appeal to people, only downside is the day of the week.

FoB are a bigger draw than Weezer, easily

2K is mental!

endainoz · 16-09-2019 2:14pm

Not much of a fallout boy fan, but they would sell a lot more than 2k tickets. I think they'll shift more than 30k tickets easily. Maybe not a total sell out though. Mid week is always going to go against it for anyone not from Dublin.

PTH2009 · 16-09-2019 3:16pm

pre sale codes are out and nothing earth shattering and could easily be guessed :rolleyes::rolleyes:

FOB and Weezer mailing list pre sales are 10am tomorrow with Green Days mailing list at 11am (Webstore presale is 10am)

AdamD · 16-09-2019 3:20pm

Would have thought Green Day would be a pretty big seller too

Think I'll hold off til nearer the time though, noticing cheap tickets available before a lot of gigs these days.
