Some fan experiences:

"I’ve spent the last 20 years watching videos of live performances and seeing them call fans on stage, always hoping it would someday be me. Tonight, my dream came true. 🥹 I cannot put into words how I felt in that moment—it was so surreal. Billie Joe saw me hyperventilating and took deep breaths with me to help calm me down, while the band and crowd cheered me on. 🥹 So much love to the band and crew members for handing me a bunch of goodies! This moment will be etched into my memory forever." — Sheehan, the fan who sang Know Your Enemy

"I didn’t see any crowd surfers. Barely noticed any mosh pits. Not once did I get bumped from behind while standing in the front row. The people next to me seemed like they didn’t know the songs, with hardly any interaction. Any flags that were held up were immediately stopped by security (possibly to prevent unpopular flags from being displayed). There seemed to be some last-minute changes to the setlist. Shortly before the start, there was a bit of confusion on stage." — Tomcat20, GDC member who travelled from Germany

"THANK YOU SO MUCH for calling me up onstage! You were such sweethearts and have been my icons since I was a kid learning to play the guitar! Sorry about the goof-ups at a bunch of places but I was too awestruck by you guys to be focused while playing. Love you so much!!!!!❤️❤️🥹🥹" – Ashutosh, the fan who played guitar for Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)

"My 11th time seeing them (first time outside of England) and by far the quietest. No crowd surfing was nice as I’m always at the front so get booted in the head when I least expect it, but half the people there were literally just there for the AI singles and Basket Case. Being in the front row of a Green Day concert and being the only one to sing along to Letterbomb and Last Night on Earth is absolutely criminal 😂" — Darth_Krid, GDC member who travelled from Bahrain
