Green Day, Fall Out Boy and Weezer kicked off their highly-anticipated Hella Mega Tour on Saturday (July 24) with a sold out show in Arlington, Texas at Globe Life Field. The trio of headliners were joined by support act The Interrupters for the nearly 6-hour concert.
Green Day offered a 21-song setlist, including hits such as “American Idiot,” “Boulevard Of Broken Dreams,” “Basket Case,” “21 Guns,” “Wake Me Up When September Ends” and more, however, the band didn’t include “King For A Day,” marking the first time the band didn’t play the song on big tour since 1997, or any new music from their latest album, Father Of All... The set also featured covers of KISS and Operation Ivy.
“Take a look around you,” Billie Joe Armstrong told the capacity crowd during the show. “This is human contact. We cannot be locked up anymore. We need to be together.”
Fall Out Boy’s 15-song set included hits such as “Sugar, We’re Going Down,” “Thnks fr th Mmrs,” “Uma Thurman,” “My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up),” and more in addition the band performing “A Little Less Sixteen Candles, a Little More “Touch Me”” live for the first time since 2016.
While Weezer brought a 17-song set featuring hits like “Beverly Hills,” “Buddy Holly,” “Say It Ain’t So,” and their infamous, fan-favorite cover of Toto’s “Africa.”
