At their stop in Detroit’s Comerica Park last night (September 4), however, the band were forced to evacuate the stage in the middle of ‘Longview’. According to Billboard, security reportedly spotted an unauthorised drone hovering near the stage, prompting the band to leave abruptly.
After ten minutes or so, Green Day returned by finishing off ‘Longview’, with frontman Billie Joe Armstrong requesting fans to put away their phones:Â âPull âem out later. Letâs be here right now.â
Armstrong went on to allude to the brief interruption after ‘Welcome to Paradise’, telling the crowd:Â âAinât no motherfâer thatâs gonna stop us, Iâll tell you that.â
Though no explanation was given at the show, the band later took to X/Twitter to apologise for the delay, writing: “stadium security had us clear the stage while they dealt with a potential safety issue. DPD quickly resolved the situation, and we were able to continue. Thanks for understanding.”

This is not the first time a Green Day show has been cut short in recent times. Green Day were forced to speed through a super-fast version of âGood Riddance (Time Of Your Life)â as fans left due to a âbig lightning stormâ.
Green Day were also compelled to cut their usual closer ‘Bobby Sox’ and encore due to the weather conditions at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre in Missouri on August 15, with Armstrong encouraging fans: âKeep walking”.
In a four-star review of ‘Saviors’, NME hailed the record as Green Day’s “best work since âAmerican Idiotâ, elaborating: “Thereâs also some serendipity in the band hitting the road to celebrate 30 years of âDookieâ and 20 years of âAmerican Idiotâ later this summer. Not only does âSaviorsâ spiritually bridge the gap between the two, but it uses the palette of the best of the band to tell us something else.
“Look to the artwork: âDookieâ was a cheeky carpet-bombing of shit, âAmerican Idiotâ was a hand grenade, âSaviorsâ is an act of defiance met with a shrug; a band saying, âWeâre still here and weâre still fuckedâ.”
