Green Day have launched a new groundbreaking interactive world tour map at www.awesomeasfuck.net. The website allows fans to add their own contribution to this fast growing document of the Green Day live experience by uploading their own original content.
Following its launch in March, the website already boasts a huge selection of fan experience stories, original photos and fan-recorded live footage. In the first weekend that the site went live, contributions have come from almost forty countries ranging from Chile to New Zealand, from Canada to Japan. That weekend alone saw 2500 registered members upload almost 4000 items of content.
Every person who contributes to the map will be entered into a competition to win tickets, flights and accommodation to see Green Day’s ‘American Idiot’ musical on Broadway. Full competition rules are listed below.
Green Day’s 2009-2010 ‘21st Century Breakdown’ tour proved to be one of the most dazzling and memorable live events of recent years. It saw the trio conquer all corners of the globe and included incendiary UK dates at Wembley Stadium, Manchester’s Lancashire County Cricket Groundand Glasgow’s SECC.
The band’s explosive performances and captivating energy from the tour have been captured in their new live album and DVD ‘Awesome As F**k’ that will be released on March 21st on Reprise Records.
Green Day recorded every show on the ‘21st Century Breakdown’ tour. When it concluded, vocalist/guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist Mike Dirnt, and drummer Tre Cool sifted through the audio to deliver the best performances from their shows around the world. The final tracklisting includes a performance each from the Wembley, Manchester and Glasgow shows, as well as other songs captured at venues ranging from Dublin to Japan.
