Green Day Set to Rock the Dome
with Jimmy Eat World & My Chemical Romance
Saturday, December 17

In March this year Green Day rocked Australia. Fans and critics alike agreed the concerts were nothing short of spectacular and speculation as to when the band would return has been rampant ever since.

Finally the months of conjecture are over and The Frontier Touring Company can confirm that Green Day have agreed to return to Australia this December for a one off event at Melbourne’s Telstra Dome.

Since last in Australia the band have toured stadiums through Europe to widespread acclaim with Kerrang! declaring the Milton Keynes show ‘The Greatest Show On Earth’.

This show promises to be an awesome spectacle, and will be one of the largest arena shows Australia has seen.

With 15 semi-trailers carrying over 300 tons of equipment and staging, Melbourne Green Day fans can expect the finest production money can buy.

The staging is set to include an 8.5 metre stage thrust stretching out into the audience while a collection of strategically placed screens will ensure fans further back will be part of the action. Two giant LED screens will tower each side of the stage.

Jimmy Eat World and My Chemical Romance, both headline acts in their own right, are special guests and ensure that the Telstra Dome show will not only be big in size, but also big in stature.

Tickets go on sale Tuesday 27 September through Ticketmaster.

...if I'm going, I want to go with a couple of people and drive to save cash... I figure some sort of luxury sedan with leather that can sit comfortably at 200kph with cruise would be sufficient - but I don't wanna take mine over so I'll need to find a donor. SHEET. hmmm and money.... need money...

*get's a shovel and goes off on quest to find treasure in aid of concert kitty.
