Green Day Concert Tickets 2009 Boston
It's safe to say that Green Day as a band has successfully achieved cult status over the past two decades. They started out as a small California local band with a grassroots fan base, and with their catchy, and at times even controversial pop punk songs, they have built a tremendous and dedicated fan base over the years that spans across the entire world. They are likely the most influential punk/alternative band in the modern music scene.
The band wasn't named Green Day when they first started playing small California gigs. Performing as the group Sweet Children, they worked their way into the California punk seen in the late eighties and early nineties. They signed with Lookout! Records in 1989 and released their first EP, "1,000 Hours". One issue that came up for the trio is that another local band had a similar name, so to set themselves apart, the group started performing under the name Green Day.
The band members Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool have managed to stick together and find wild success, a rarity in the music business. Not only has the band stayed true to their roots and original music, but they've become iconic in the punk world and young musicians consider them an inspiration.
The 2009 Green Day concert tour, which is their first tour in three years, includes international dates. The tour leads off with, appropriately enough, a show in Seattle on July 3 before heading all over the globe in promotion of their latest album, "21st Century Breakdown". The album already has five hit singles and has sold more than twelve million copies.
Despite their roots in the punk scene, there is little doubt that Green Day is one of the biggest and most popular bands in existence today, and are the feature of major network interviews, magazine covers and websites.
Green Day has a concert in Boston at the TD Banknorth Garden on July 20, and the show begins at 7:30 PM. Tickets are available from various sources, so the best bet to get a good deal is use a free service like TicketZinger.com, which displays all of the cheapest Green Day tickets at one time.
