Green Day/Fall Out Boy/Weezer 2020 tour Tour • Page 56

The Hershey parking situation is the worst one I've ever seen for concerts. I didn't attend the show last night, but I did see Paramore/FOB and Coldplay there, and trying to escape (even when leaving before the encore!) was absurd.

 

Yeah we sat in our spot for 45 minutes and the row of cars didn't move at all, but then saw some cars turn around and just start making a new line near the entrance so we followed them and got out quickly after that. Not one person directing traffic anywhere, was probably hours before everyone was out of that lot.

What made this even worse is that Hershey is 3 hours from my house. We planned on finding a place to stay the night on the way home but literally every hotel we checked had no vacancy so we sucked it up and drove all the way home and got back at 4am lmao

 

Bunch of tickets for wrigley tomorrow where just released

 

Any suggestions on where to park for the Wrigley show tomorrow?

 

There’s not much actual parking at wrigley they suggest you take cta to get there. You could always use spot hero or park whiz to find a actual spot but they might be super expensive

 

Definitely the train if possible. It's so cheap and easy. Limited parking and very expensive near Wrigley.

 

I use Spot Hero for parking in Chicago. It's life saving.

 

Really hope Fall Out Boy plays some extra songs tomorrow in Chicago! At least "Chicago Is So Two Years Ago"

 

I kinda just feel like they'll swap out 16 Candles or something for Chicago Is So Two Years Ago. But it would be sweet if they played longer. Wish I could go to Wrigley again, but I get to go to this tour on Tuesday so that's good with me. Watching some videos from the last Wrigley show to celebrate.

 

Anyone know if the bands are selling vinyl at the shows?

 

It seems they arent

 

Hearing Alkaline Trio between bands at Wrigley Field just feels right.

 

The show in Chicago was amazing! All bands were great and Green Day really is one of the best live acts I've seen.

Bummed FOB didnt do anything special for Chicago

 

Driving to Columbus today!

 

Went last night. Traffic was a total shitshow getting in which was such a huge bummer because I missed Interrupters

By the time we parked and got out of the car, Weezer's intro music was starting, and then once in the venue, had to wait in an insanely long line to get a Field wristband, just to walk through the field to get to the pit where we had to get a pit wristband. So had to only listen to the first 7 Weezer songs. Which besides Jonas wasn't the biggest bummer I guess.

Smooth sailing after that though (aside from beer lines) Weezer / FOB and GD were all so good. I had a great time! Traffic was pretty miserable getting out as well took almost an hour...

Should have bought merch early but didn't want to wait forever and miss anymore sets. So missed out on what I wanted. If anyone is going to any remaining dates and wants to help me out with a shirt that would be awesome!

 

Another tip for merch: If you're going to a date at a baseball park, check the upper levels. My friend and I bought merch up there and the lines were a fraction of the first level - we were able to get in and out in about 15 minutes and only had to miss Interrupters, but we could still hear them.

 

Parking was a hellfuck nightmare in Detroit too. Every lot was $40 in the city, but we were able to find a garage that only cost $10 about a 5 minute walk away, which was a lifesaver. Was shocked to see how overcharged everything at Comerica was too, it almost killed the experience until FOB started, tbh.

 

The merch lines at these shows have been CRAZY.

 

Yeah every lot around Atlanta was pre-purchase permit only, so we parked at the mall parking garage and just walked. Got out in 5 mins since by time we hit merch and walked back it was 40 mins after the show ended.

Also recommend checking outside for merch. The venues have had their own stock that didn't run out as quick as the Hella Mega truck.

 

Parking by Comerica is usually crazy. Usually we park somewhere that is a 5 minute walk.

I thought the merch and bathroom lines were out of control. I didn't really look until at least after Weezer so it might have been worse because more people were there, but I thought about going to the bathroom, saw the line, and decided I'd be fine.

 

Looks like Doors for Philly tomorrow are at 4, and Show starts at 5:30? Anyone who went have an idea what set times would be (particularly when Weezer would start?)

Gotta know when to get off work

 

These were set times on Tuesday

5:30-6 Interrupters
6:20-7:20 Weezer
7:50-8:50 Fall Out Boy
9:20-10:50 Green Day

 

Thanks I could have sworn the website originally listed 6:30 as start time till I got an email this morning which threw me for a loop.

 

I think it's always been a 5:30 start time, since the tour was originally announced in 2019

 

I went to the Philly show last night. Kind of a semi-last minute impulsive trip as a friend of mine on the East coast made a joke about it and it became very real, very fast. Was able to score pit tickets and ended up with a really great spot near the front of the catwalk. I didn't think it would be possible to top the 1st show in Dallas - there was something so special about being at that show, everyone's 1st show back, but I think now that they're a few weeks into the tour, everyone has found their groove and are firing on all cylinders.

Quite possibly one of the best shows I've ever been to. There was just something so magical about it. It started (unexpectedly) downpouring rain about 5 minutes before Fall Out Boy started which fired up the energy in the crowd. And Fall Out Boy came out and absolutely slayed. Patrick & Pete were smiling so much throughout the set, they sounded so good, and the rain just added that extra element of chaos that made it so fun. I just love them so much. I've been seeing them live for 15 years now (every tour since 2006) and I love them more now than ever.

Green Day is just too good at headlining stadiums. It's almost unfair because it wouldn't matter how good FOB was, Green Day will always steal the show. Billie Joe does not skip a beat. They all just look like they're having so much fun. "Still Breathing" and "Jesus of Suburbia" are SO IMPORTANT. Those two at the end of the set, followed up by Good Riddance, is such a special thing at a post-2020 concert. Truly gave me goosebumps and I was nearly on the verge of tears during "Still Breathing"

Fourth and final Hella Mega show at home in Denver this Tuesday. Originally was the only show I was going to, but this tour was so special that I just had to find a way to go to more dates. Absolutely will cherish the memories from these shows for the rest of my life.
