Photos and review

THE American band,
Green
Day, has been hailed as 1 of the best live rock bands of the 21st
century and have been doing a quick tour of the UK in recent days. We got the
chance to see the band at the Sheffield Arena along with the support band
Rancid. The punk rock still show youthful exuberance when performing, despite
their careers spanning the over 3 decades! The event was not simply a night for
nostalgia, as they added tracks from their band's latest album:-
'Revolution Radio'
that seemed to go down very well with the audience. Also doing an amazing
performance was support band
Rancid who have a album out called:-
'Trouble Maker.' To celebrate the group being on tour in the UK
the had a very cool limited edition
shirt on sale at both Hyde Park and at
Sheffield. Interestingly it is worth noting that Green Day was the headline
British Summer Time, Hyde Park, London, on Saturday, 1 July 2017. Sadly this
year the band did not get a chance to head to Liverpool, but it will be worth
fans on Merseyside to keep an eye out on their next Tour of the UK. Sadly for
Scottish fans, this tour a few days later became a "wash out," as
the UK Tour promoters had to cancel a concert by Green Day in
Glasgow, only hours before it was due to
begin, because "adverse weather conditions" meant it was "no
longer safe" for the bands to perform. This decision left some fans
"very distraught." Luckily for fans in Sheffield, weather is never an
issue at the
Motorpoint
Arena
Sheffield ever since the very large indoor music and
entertainment venue opened in 1991. Please let us know if you attened any of the
tour dates via emailing us to:-
