Green Day Revolution Radio Unmoved After Australian Tour

by Paul Cashmere on May 15, 2017

Green Day have wrapped up two weeks across Australia playing arenas along the way to over 100,000 fans but the tour did nothing for their current album ‘Revolution Radio’.

‘Revolution Radio’ generated just 529 sales last week in Australia and 370 in the previous week (and first week of the tour).

The Green Day setlist featured six songs from the album with ‘Bang Bang’, ‘Revolution Radio’, ‘Youngblood’, ‘Still Breathing’ and ‘Forever Now’ in the main set and ‘Ordinary World’ in the encore.

Green Day played the final show on the Pacific leg of the Revolution Radio tour in Auckland, New Zealand on Sunday night.
