Green Day surprised fans with a secret acoustic show and a pop-up gig in a small London pub, playing 'Welcome To Paradise' and 'Walking Contradiction' for the first time in years. As tickets become harder to obtain and more expensive, livestreamers are offering an alternative way for fans to experience the show. The band also canceled a London show on short notice, disappointing fans who had lined up at the venue. iPhones, Instagram, and TikTok have enabled intermediaries to connect fans who couldn't attend the gig due to financial constraints or lack of luck with the performances.
