Not Green Day

About This Event

Not Green Day, a tribute act fronted by Andy L Smooth as Billie Joe Armstrong, brings the pop-punk energy of the Californian trio to The Cluny on Friday 31 July. The band, composed of dedicated superfans, faithfully recreates the sound and spirit of Green Day’s catalogue, from early punk anthems to the stadium-sized choruses of *American Idiot* and beyond. Smooth, who previously toured in another Green Day tribute, leads the set with a high-energy performance that mirrors the raw urgency of the original recordings. The Cluny’s intimate, low-ceilinged room amplifies the band’s punchy guitar riffs and driving rhythms, creating a close-quarters atmosphere ideal for fans of the genre. Tickets are available via the venue’s website, with doors opening at 6.30pm.

Not Green Day are a band full of Green Day superfans, playing music for the Green Day superfans.

Originally set up by frontman Andy L Smooth (Billie Joe Armstrong), having previously performed and toured in a successful Green Day tribute before, it was time to continue honouring the pop-punk giants by forming ‘Not Green Day’.

Completing the line-up alongside Andy is Ben Myers (Mike Dirnt), Jon Cox (Tré Cool) and Mark Pitchforth (Jason White) and on occasion Max Harris (Kevin Preston), the band have been involved in many projects through the years, boasting their fair share of practise touring the UK and Europe through the tribute scene and more.

A full Not Green Day set will include not only hits such as ‘American Idiot’, ‘Basket Case’, ‘Boulevard of Broken Dreams’, ‘Good Riddance’ and more, but will also delve into the band’s extensive back catalogue, featuring deeper cuts through Green Day’s incredible 35 year career.

Not Green Day take every effort to replicate not only the sounds of Billie Joe, Mike and Tré, but the full live experience too. 837 ‘hey ohs’, crowd participation (yes, maybe you’ll even be on stage!), the ‘Master of Puppets bit’, and a concerning amount of guitar changes, watching Not Green Day is about as good as it gets when Not watching Green Day.
