What’s Another Post on the Hella Mega Tour?
Alternative rock and pop punk flag-bearers Green Day, Fall Out Boy and Weezer formally announced their three-headed “Hella Mega” concert monster Tuesday night at an intimate function in Los Angeles.
The 500-person capacity Whisky a Go Go represents approximately 1% of the crowds the Hella Mega tour is hoping to attract every night for its 20 North American stadium-sized dates next summer, with an August 24th stop scheduled for Toronto’s Rogers Centre. In a preview of what’s to come and what fans can expect to hear, here are the sets that there played September 10th courtesy of Setlist.fm. As you’ll see, each band debuted their respective new single. What’s more, they all be on Jimmy Kimmel Live! (Starting with the mighty Weezer, although what’s with the weaksauce Van Halen impersonation?)
