No.

Three previous occasions they've toured the UK over the years my flight home always seemed to fall on the day of the concert.

I'm going on my own which suits me just fine.

Your post this morning reminded me they were touring and to book so thanks!

They are awesome live, you will love it! There were rumours yesterday that they were going to play in a London pub last night and they did and livestreamed on Instagram. It was amazing, and only about 50 people were crammed in there.

John’s now decided he wants to come so I’ve just got him a ticket. The first time he saw them was at Manchester in June 2010, he just came to keep me company and wasn’t bothered about seeing them but as we walked out he said it was the best concert he’d ever been to (and he’d seen his hero, David Bowie).

They’ve announced today that they’re playing the Dookie and American Idiot albums in their entirety, plus other favourites.

Saw them play Dookie at Brixton Academy in 2013, think it was a practice for a tour they planned for the 20th anniversary in 2014 but Mike Dirnt’s wife was diagnosed with breast cancer not long after so the tour never happened.
