Background

edit

On September 10, 2019, all three bands simultaneously announced the tour and new music.[1] On the same day, each band also released a new single: Green Day released "Father of All..." and announced its 13th album, Father of All Motherfuckers; Fall Out Boy released "Dear Future Self (Hands Up)" and announced its second compilation album, Greatest Hits: Believers Never Die – Volume Two; and Weezer released "The End of the Game" and announced its fifteenth (fourteenth at the time) album, Van Weezer.[2] Weezer would also go on to release their fourteenth studio album OK Human on January 29, 2021, preceded eight days earlier by the lead single "All My Favorite Songs".[3]

Overview

edit

All three bands performed at 26 shows across the North American and European legs, excluding the three shows Fall Out Boy missed due to a positive COVID-19 case in their touring group. The venues consisted of outdoor and indoor stadiums as well as outdoor park venues.[4] On February 28, 2020, Green Day announced all nine solo Asian tour dates were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] On April 23, 2020, it was announced on the social media pages of the Hella Mega Tour that a number of the European dates would be postponed.[6] On May 19, 2020, it was announced that all dates on the North American leg would be postponed to 2021.[7] On July 15, 2020, it was announced that all dates on the Oceania leg would be cancelled and tickets refunded.[8] On February 27, 2022, Green Day announced their solo concert in Moscow prior to the European Hella Mega Tour leg on May 29 would be canceled due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[9]

  • For the European leg of the tour, Weezer changed their setlist around some to reflect their newly released EPs; SZNZ: Spring and SZNZ: Summer, as well as their recent cover of "Enter Sandman".
  • Green Day also changed their setlist slightly during the European Leg, removing "Pollyanna", "She", and "Still Breathing" which were replaced with "Waiting", "King For a Day", and their cover of "Shout" by The Isley Brothers.
