Green Day’s Summer 2009 American tour has eight more shows (including tonight’s Denver stop) ending on August 25th in L.A. The boys will have a month’s ‘break’ as they head into the final touches of American Idiot: The Musical (previewing on September 4th) as well as a live stop at MTV’s Video Music Awards in New York City on September 13th (vote here for “21 Guns” as Best Rock Video and vote often).
I’m hoping that they have a bit of time for a secret show here in NYC (dreaming… I was was only dreaming… ), but it looks like their month ‘off’ is going to be a bit hectic, to say the least.
After a month of ‘rest,’ Green Day begins their European tour on September 28th, 2009 in Barcelona Lisbon. Hungarian Green Day fansite Castaway Online has created a Google mashup map of their European stops.
For those of you in the United Kingdom in particular, ROCKTOBER (10/21-11/01) is coming your way! I’ll post more about this as soon as I can. In the meanwhile, Jason Chandler, Horrible Comics author and lead singer of The Frustrators, has created an unofficial and limited edition GD UK* Rocktober line of Cafe Press shirts and merchandise just for you! (And anyone else, too.) He’ll stop selling this merchandise when the UK tour rolls around, so get yours here now. Go! NOW!
Green Day ROCKTOBER Baby!
ATTENTION EUROPE: get to at least one Green Day show by ‘any means necessary’! You won’t be disappointed.
*Jason would like everyone to know that GD UK stands for “Godzilla Doesn’t Understand Korean,” which makes me love this logo even more than I did before.

Hey thanks for the kind words Tanya! But everybody just keep in mind this aint no official product of any kind, it’s just the scribblings of a man asked to scribble by a pal.
And those mysterious letters actually stand for “Godzilla Doesn’t Understand Korean.”

Thanks, Jason! I will update the post to note that it’s unofficial. And to me, it’s even better that’s it Godzilla… I love Godzilla. Have you ever seen Godzilla 2000? It’s hysterical. Thanks again! Best, Tanya
