Green Day, Fall Out Boy, And Weezer Postpone North American Hella Mega Tour

The North American leg of the Hella Mega Tour, featuring Green Day, Weezer, and Fall Out Boy, has been postponed due to COVID-19.

The bands shared a statement about the status of the tour on social media. They say the shows will be rescheduled for 2021.

“Hopefully this doesn’t come as a surprise, but as much as we were all looking forward to seeing you all this summer, everyone’s safety is our highest priority so we’ve officially made the call to reschedule all North American dates of the Hella Mega tour until next year,” a statement read. Read the full statement below.

The European dates for the Hella Mega Tour were postponed last month. Meanwhile, Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong has shared his new “No Fun Mondays” cover. Yesterday (May 18th), he shared his rendition of Raspberries frontman Eric Carmen’s solo single “That’s Rock ‘n’ Roll.”

“Today’s song is ‘That’s Rock ‘n’ Roll’ by Eric Carmen who was also in The Raspberries,” Armstrong wrote in the video’s description. “However the first time I heard this song was by teen heartthrob Shaun Cassidy. My sisters would dance around the house to this one!” Check out the song here.
