Stage Buzz: Photo Gallery • Hella Mega Tour – Green Day, Fall Out Boy, Weezer, The Interrupters

Brassneck | August 16, 2021

The demise of Rock music has arrived? Well, it was all evidence to the contrary when the Hella Mega tour showed up at Chicago’s Wrigley Field Sunday. Green Day, Fall Out Boy (making a homecoming appearance), and Weezer all brought their alt-rock jukebox catalogs to the famed, unquestionably sold-out Northside ballpark. The unseasonably mild weather proved to be the perfect backdrop for an evening of voluminous guitars played through a cavalcade of distortion pedals that pinned back the ears of a voracious audience that was quite obviously starved for live music. West Coast quartet The Interrupters got everyone prepped with a ska-tinged, high-energy set as the sun dipped behind the friendly confines.
