Hella Mega Tour

The Hella Mega Tour was a concert tour by American rock bands Green Day, Fall Out Boy, and Weezer that was announced on September 10, 2019, and originally included dates from March to August 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Oceanic leg was canceled, as was the sole Canadian date. The rest of the tour was rescheduled to 2021 and 2022.

Background

On September 10, 2019, all three bands simultaneously announced the tour and new music. On the same day, each band also released a new single: Green Day released "Father of All..." and announced its 13th album, Father of All Motherfuckers; Fall Out Boy released "Dear Future Self (Hands Up)" and announced its second compilation album, Greatest Hits: Believers Never Die – Volume Two; and Weezer released "The End of the Game" and announced its fifteenth (fourteenth at the time) album, Van Weezer. Weezer would also go on to release their fourteenth studio album OK Human on January 29, 2021, preceded eight days earlier by the lead single "All My Favorite Songs".

Overview

All three bands performed at 26 shows across the North American and European legs, excluding the three shows Fall Out Boy missed due to a positive COVID-19 case in their touring group. The venues consisted of outdoor and indoor stadiums as well as outdoor park venues. On February 28, 2020, Green Day announced all nine solo Asian tour dates were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On April 23, 2020, it was announced on the social media pages of the Hella Mega Tour that a number of the European dates would be postponed. On May 19, 2020, it was announced that all dates on the North American leg would be postponed to 2021.

• For the European leg of the tour, Weezer changed their setlist around some to reflect their newly released EPs; SZNZ: Spring and SZNZ: Summer, as well as their recent cover of "Enter Sandman".
• Green Day also changed their setlist slightly during the European Leg, removing "Pollyanna", "She", and "Still Breathing" which were replaced with "Waiting", "King For a Day", and their cover of "Shout" by The Isley Brothers.
