For those that grew up in the 90’s, they would have grown up with the music of that time, and one of the bands that they may have known is Green Day.

Green Day is an American rock band that was formed back in 1986. They were a trio with Billie Joe Armstrong on vocals and lead guitar, Mike Dirnt on bass, and Tré Cool on drums.

The band made hit songs such as “Basket Case,” “Hitchin’ a Ride,” “American Idiot,” “Wake Me Up When September Ends,” and “21 Guns.”

Green Day is definitely popular with fans who grew up with them and new fans who have recently heard of their songs, and it came as a surprise that they will be having a tour, along with bands Fall Out Boy and Weezer.

In a video posted in YouTube called “Hella Mega Tour w/ Green Day, Fall Out Boy, Weezer + The Interrupters,” it opened to a scene from the movie “Anchorman.” The scene looks the same as what was in the movie, but the faces of each band’s lead vocalist was superimposed in the scene, possibly with Deepfake technology. The scene continued to play out, and after a while, they showed the poster of the event and then a list of places where they will perform.

Some countries will have only one band performing, while some will have two of the bands or all three.

What caught everyone’s attention is that in the “Green Day Only Asia” section, Manila, Philippines was noted, where they said they will have their concert on March 14, 2020, at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.

This was also confirmed via a Tweet from @manilaconcerts.
