Was in Berlin last week to catch the show. All I can say is WOW!

Anyone here with tickets for UK leg is going to be in for a treat! Be prepared for well over 2 hours of seriously great songs from around the Dookie and Nimrod days. Not too much of the 21st Century album but the acoustic set at the very end was well worth it.

Awesome - have tickets for O2 on the 23rd but wasn't too bothered TBH, as still not really managed to get into the new album, despite several listens. Much more excited if it's more about putting on a good show for fans than about promoting the new album.

You are going to have a great time! I was really impressed. they slump a bit in the middle with some old rock and roll numbers but if you are standing its a great opportunity for a breather.

Lots of fire and video footage makes the visual all the better. I wish I was at the UK leg as they didn't understandibly talk all that much.

I think I am going to try and get a tout ticket nearer the date to try to avoid the ridiculous mark up they are charging!

Get ready for Longview and Basketcase! (Neck braces should be provided for any oldies leaving the concert, i was in agony the next day)

Wanted to head to the O2 to see them, but the stupid ticket booking system meant i and my friends couldn't get seats together.

Can you guys who have seen them so far on the UK tour tell me who the support act(s) were? And whether they were any good?

Ta!

At the O2 on Friday night it was Prima Donna. Never heard of them, never want to hear them again - girlfriend and I were VERY unimpressed.

Green Day on the other hand surpassed expectations - great show.

Well, what can I say?

They were totally awesome!!! Real good mix of tracks from their back catalouge, plenty of crowd interaction and I'd probably have paid at least half the entry fee just for "Hitchin' a ride" smile

I met the band once and Tre Cool gave me once of his drum kits which I'd kept in my Dad's shed until he threw it away!

I'll not go into the details but the bigger the band get the more I sink into my chair!

They're gigging still in 2010? Or have they got a number of 2010 tickets for sale there?

I saw them last night, wandered up there and only paid a tenner more than face value on the door.

FANTASTIC SHOW!

A mate i was with was invited up on stage to play bass for a track.

I really want to see them in london now.
