Green Day Have Cancelled the Gold Coast Gig on Their 2025 Australian Tour Due to Tropical Cyclone Alfred
The show isn't able to be rescheduled due to the band's international touring scheduling, with ticketholders automatically receiving refunds.
When Tropical Cyclone Alfred comes around, Green Day doesn't. With the storm approaching southeast Queensland, and the weather set to turn wet and windy as a result, the California-born band have cancelled their Gold Coast show on Wednesday, March 5, 2025, which was set to be the last stop on their 2025 Australian tour.
"Hey Australia, unfortunately due to circumstances out of our control, tomorrow's Gold Coast show has been canceled," the band posted on social media on Tuesday, March 4, 2025.
"With Cyclone Alfred bringing some seriously nasty weather, it's just not possible to go ahead safely. We know this is a huge disappointment, and we're just as bummed as you are. Stay safe out there!"
On the Live Nation website, the tour promoter advised that "this decision was made in close consultation with local authorities and with Green Day, prioritising the safety of all involved."
The gig is cancelled, not postponed, as "due to Green Day's international touring schedule it will not be possible to reschedule the Gold Coast show to a later date".

Already hitting Melbourne and Sydney, Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool have been in Australia on group's global The Saviors Tour, which is named for their 14th studio album Saviors. Two other records have been in the spotlight, however: the band's iconic 1994 album Dookie and their American Idiot album from 2004. Playing both in full has been a feature of the tour, covering everything from 'Basket Case', 'When I Come Around', 'Longview' and 'She' to 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams', 'Wake Me Up When September Ends', 'Holiday' and, yes, 'American Idiot'.
On the Gold Coast, Green Day were set to take to the stage at CBUS Super Stadium with fellow California-born group AFI in support. Ticketholders will now automatically receive a full refund from Ticketmaster via their original method of payment between 14–21 days.
It won't be the same as seeing Green Day live, but they are headlining Coachella, so you'll be able to livestream their set in April.
