Green Day surprise London pubgoers
One lucky London pubgoer who got to see Green Day’s intimate gig, Will Gamble, 27, a regional operations manager said: “So my friend had a tip-off from a good friend close to the band that the show was happening at a bar on Chandos Place.
“We actually walked into the wrong pub initially and sat in The Harp a few doors down being like “hmm surely it can’t be here?!” – turns out we were over-excited and turned into the first pub on the road that The Marquis was on.
“Anyway we sank our pints quickly and walked into the Marquis at about 19:30 where there was a sign saying ‘Busk Till Dawn@9pm’ there were four other people at the front of which one had been tipped off after bumping into Mike Dirnt’s wife earlier that day that it was there.”
However, one happy punter, shared Green Day’s surprise concert location on Reddit prompting a huge rush of people to the venue seeing the police area to calm the situation down.

Then at 10pm Green Day took to the stage and performed their set to a crowd…
