Boston Green Day Concert Tickets

By Drew Jones

Not only has Green Day managed to stay together as a band and continue to pump out their catchy flavor of punk rock, but they've achieved a level of cult status rarely seen for punk bands. From their roots as a local California band with a small following, they've become a mega band playing the globe and probably the most influential punk band in existence over the past two decades.

Original formed under the name Sweet Children in 1987, the played local shows in California, immersing themselves in the punk scene before signing with Lookout! Records. Their first EP, titles "1,000 Hours" was released by Lookout!. They also decided to start appearing under the new name, Green Day to create separation between themselves and another band with a similar name to Sweet Children. Now, Green Day has released eight studio albums and sold over twenty-two million records, just in the United States.

The trio that makes up Green Day include front man Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool. Three guys who started out together with big dreams, the same dreams as thousands of small bands that star every year, but Green Day managed to find success and spread their music to a huge fan base. Now they are another band with longevity that young musicians can emulate.

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 an alternative genre, Green Day has taken their catchy brand of punk to the masses, and along the way, achieved iconic status. Now Green Day is one of the established bands of the last two decades, a far cry from being a small band trying to make it in California.

Green Day will play at the TD Banknorth Garden in Boston, MA on July 20, 2009. The show starts at 7:30 PM. Tickets are priced at $25 - $50 and can be purchased at the TD Banknorth Garden Box Office or at TicketZinger.com. Doors will open at 6:30 PM. This show is all ages. - 18758
