[caption=Billie on stage last night at the Shepherd's Bush Empire]082412_billielondon.jpg[/caption]Last night, Green Day played a surprise show for 2,000 at the Shepherd's Bush Empire in London, England. This show was the first intimate Green Day show in London since before 2004's American Idiot was released.

The show started unexpectedly and did not start with Welcome To Paradise like most shows on this tour. Instead the band walked out with Billie Joe taking the drums and Tre on guitar and the band opened with "All By Myself" off of Dookie.

Lead singer of the band Paramore, Hayley Williams, was in attendance and tweeted the following:

Just saw another ridiiiiculous Green Day show! @BJAofficial got me with the water gun.. Wet dog status right here.

Other than starting the show with "All By Myself" the band played a pretty normal setlist for a surprise show. New songs from the trilogy that were played included "Nuclear Family," "Stay The Night," "Stop When The Red Lights Flash," "Oh Love," "Lady Cobra," and "99 Revolutions." You can see the full setlist of the show over in our tour section.

Head on over to this album of our Picture Vault where we have uploaded over 30 photos from the show.
