Green Day are finally coming back to Thailand on 12 February 2025! They'll be playing the Impact Arena in Bangkok. Tickets start at ฿2,800 and go onsale on 5 October 2024. There'll also be a Mastercard presale on 1 October and a Live Nation presale on 4 October.



This will be Green Day's first show in Thailand since 2010. They were going to play in Bangkok in 2020, but the show was cancelled due to the pandemic.

While Green Day were in Thailand in 2010, Billie Joe went looking for a Thai uniform shirt that he then wore for much of the 21st Century Breakdown Tour.

They also played in Bangkok on the Insomniac Tour in 1996. A Thai band called Barbies opened. Impatient fans chanted Green Day's name throughout their set. They started throwing chairs, water bottles and shoes. When Barbies' set ended, a staff member announced that the MBK Hall was well over capacity and that fans shouldn't jump because the floor might cave in. The MBK Hall was located in a mall – which is still there today – and it seemed that might have been why the shops below shut early.

Of course, once Green Day took the stage, the fans did jump. They felt the floor sagging beneath their feet. Fights broke out and people hit each other with chairs. The floor never actually gave way, but someone without a ticket did hit a security guard with a beer bottle until his skull cracked, then broke the door down.

Some fans said it was the best show they'd ever seen. Some said it was the worst. However, almost everyone in MBK Hall that day will agree that they wondered if they were going to die that night.

The 2025 show might not be quite that crazy, but it's sure to be a night to remember. Are you going? Considering going? Let us know and meet other fans who are going on the Green Day Community forum.
