2009 has definitely been a year to remember for Green Day. I knew that when they released their Know Your Enemy single, it could only climb uphill and it sure did. On May 15th, Green Day released 21st Century Breakdown, the follow-up to American Idiot. I had high expectations for this album as their previous album was amazing. Green Day certainly did not let me down with the new album and it can easily be considered their best album. And what always comes with a new album? A tour! It didn't take long for the band to announce that they would be playing Copps Coliseum in Hamilton, Ontario on Thursday July 16th, 2009. As soon as I heard about the tour stop, I started freaking. We hadn't even bought any tickets yet but none the less, I started to look forward to my first Green Day concert ever.
