On Thursday, Green Day unexpectedly performed at a pub in the heart of London, surprising the audience.
In the past week, Tommy McGuinness, who manages the bar at The Marquis situated close to Covent Garden and Trafalgar Square, was proposed an offer of a "huge American group" wanting to perform at their location.
To be completely honest, it was a bit chaotic," shared Mr. McGuinness when speaking to BBC London. "I discovered that Billie Joe really enjoys frequenting the local pub."
"This is the most compact venue where Green Day has ever performed."
According to Mr. McGuinness, he was informed that a prominent American musical group desired to perform at a particular time at his establishment. However, he had to inform the music company that he already had a different band confirmed for that same day.
"I have always admired them, so it was an exceptionally remarkable experience for me. It was strange, insane, but excellent."
The pub owner mentioned that his establishment was selected due to the fact that the primary singer and guitar player of the band are following the pub's Instagram account.
According to him, there are some exceptional musicians who perform at the pub frequently, and he always listens to their music online. He was unaware that Billy Joe Armstrong, the lead vocalist of Green Day, was watching these performances.
According to Mr. McGuinness, the concert was supposed to be kept under wraps, but unfortunately, the news leaked and many folks ended up showing up at the pub.
"At the start of the day, we were already filled to capacity," he explained. "There were even people waiting in line from our location all the way to Trafalgar Square, which was quite unusual."
"Even those who were not selected appeared to greatly enjoy the experience. The ambiance was fantastic."
He mentioned that approximately 80 individuals were able to attend the concert, and further expressed that "I can personally attest that everyone present at the bar thoroughly enjoyed themselves."
