The sold-out stadium concert was the first stop of the tour but served as Green Day’s second live performance of the summer. On July 20, the band made their first back-from-quarantine appearance, when they played a sold-out surprise set to a crowd of roughly 1,800 people.
In December 2019, the band put on an intimate secret show at a small town in California under the moniker the Coverups. Unlike their recent surprise concert, the 2019 performance included a series of covers from punk legends such as RamonesandMisfits.
Weezer and Fall Out Boy also headlined the highly anticipated inaugural concert. Although it’s been a while since Fall Out Boy put out their 2019 album, Believers Never Die (Volume Two), Weezer released their 14th and 15th albums, OK Human and Van Weezer,over the course of 2021. No strangers to cover material themselves, Weezer paid tribute to another artist by performing their chart-topping cover of “Africa” by Toto.
All three bands had nothing but good things to say about the sold-out show.
Though the Hella Mega tour was postponed for nearly two years, the run is rapidly selling out dates. The tour has also launched a giveaway to win a trip to see the band at Dodgers Stadium in Los Angeles.
Partnering with their own East Bay company Oakland Coffee Works, Green Day made a raffle giving away round-trip airfare, two tickets and two nights of deluxe hotel accommodations amongst other prizes. You can enter the raffle here.
