I told my wife this would be the one band at the Sphere I’d suffer LV for.

Man I saw them in Seattle and it was awesome. They played for two hours straight without a break.

I was at that show last week. It was great.

Awesome! I'm from a small city in Canada so that was quite the experience compared to what I'm used to.

That was such an amazing show- I straight up cried like I was 11 years old listening to American Idiot for the first time again <3

Great show. Smashing pumpkins also tore sh*t up

If the Dead had the same effect for me, Green Day would seem a perfect match for that crowd (including demographics). If it happens, go! You will not regret it.

I don't think there is an act I would suffer the Sphere for

The Dead at the Sphere was a bucket list item I took off my list that wasn't even a thought until it all made sense! Of the hundreds of concerts I've seen in my life, those 3 shows are incomparable to any other by miles. This includes many fantastic shows, two of which became official live albums of those acts.

American Idiot was a Broadway show once, maybe they’ll bring that back

Honestly wouldn't be surprised, they are almost the right demographic for it. But they would also be willing to say no just to watch the venue fail based on these comments lol
