Green Day!

This is Green Day. When I was younger, they were one of the bands that really marked my transition in musical taste, and they were the first proper band I went to see live.

They have a new album out this year, and played a 'secret' set at the start of the Saturday - normally they would headline, but instead they did a surprise promo set. Luckily, Twitter has ensured that these things are never really a secret anymore, so my friends and I were able to head down to the stage in time to see them before security were obliged to shut the area down to keep crowds under control! This set was one of the highlights of my weekend, although many of the crowd were surprisingly young!

I've tried to catch some of the energy of the set here, but I find that a little difficult, especially with no real control over camera settings and in a sweaty and bouncy crowd! I hope some of it has come across.
