Three tribute acts play Green Day's 'American Idiot' and Blink-182's 'Take Off Your Pants and Jacket' in full at Sub89.
Pop Punk Revolution brings their tour to Sub89 on Friday 4 December, with three tribute acts sharing the bill. It's a double-album night: they're playing Green Day's American Idiot and Blink-182's Take Off Your Pants and Jacket in their entirety, so you'll hear both records from start to finish rather than a handful of the well-known tracks.
American Idiot is the conceptual one, the rock opera that Green Day built around a single character, while Take Off Your Pants and Jacket is the high-energy, pop-punk record Blink-182 released in 2001. Having them both played through in full means the night covers two of the biggest albums from that era of pop punk, one after the other.
With three tribute acts on the bill, the work is split across the bands rather than one group tackling both records. It's a long run of songs, so it's a night for when you're in the mood to hear the albums as they were written, not just a best-of set. If you've spent years knowing the singles but never sat through the records in one go, this is your chance to hear how they actually fit together.
