While appearing as the most recent guest on the Football Music & Me podcast, hosted by Geoff Shreeves on The Overlap YouTube channel, Dyche opened up about some of the gigs he has attended in the past including The Hives at Glastonbury and watching Pink, Rihanna,Metallica and Foo Fighters throughout the years.
Dyche also recalled the time he went to see Billie Joe Armstrong and co. live with fellow football legend Stuart Pearce.
“I don’t care what music you like, just BUY a ticket” @Everton manager, Sean Dyche passionate recommendation to see @Green Day after Stuart Pearce pressured him into seeing them! The FULL Episode is available via the in our bio & available on the @The Overlap YouTube channel #football#footballtiktok#music#musictok#fyp#foryou#greenday#seandyche#everton
“It just feels like two hours of high-octane, non-stop, smashing the life out of song after song,” he told Shreeves. “You can’t not like it, I’m telling you! That’s my advice for you: anyone who’s not seen Green Day, I don’t care what music you’re into, just buy a ticket and see Green Day.”
He continued: “I saw them with Stuart Pearce – he was like, ‘You’ve got to see Green Day.’ He almost bullied me into seeing Green Day. And I went, ‘Right, okay.’ And he was right. They were just a different class.”
Green Day recently released their 14th studio album ‘Saviors’. In a four-star review of the LP, NME shared: “Not only does ‘Saviors’ spiritually bridge the gap between the two [1994’s ‘Dookie’ and 2004’s ‘American Idiot’] , but it uses the palette of the best of the band to tell us something else. Look to the artwork: ‘Dookie’ was a cheeky carpet-bombing of shit, ‘American Idiot’ was a hand grenade, ‘Saviors’ is an act of defiance met with a shrug; a band saying, “We’re still here and we’re still fucked”.
Listen via: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Amazon Music | More Platforms In 1976, a couple friends got together and started a band. They called themselves the North London Invaders, but after quickly rethinking the branding, changed their name to Madness, a reference to a Prince Buster song. Sixteen top-10 hits later, and the band is…

“If my gender is so radical / I’d rather be invisible / If I can never fit the mould / Call me the punchline / But when I identify / I’m the butt of the joke” sings Phoebe Lunny while speaking out about gender identity over a pounding bass line and crisp guitar riff.
Speaking of the track in a press release, Lunny and bassist Lilly Macieira said: “While many of our songs are critiques of societal issues, ‘Body of Mine’ is a little more personal. This song is about trying to connect to your gender identity, feeling like you’re not fully yourself, and struggling to figure out how to truly become it.”
They continued: “Gender is a complex experience, we acknowledge that this song represents just one perspective among many, of not knowing where you fit inside it all. It’s tough to feel that nobody really gets you and it’s also truly quite shit when you don’t really know how to understand yourself either.”
‘Body Of Mine’ – recorded with Gilla Band’s Daniel Fox will be released on a special limited edition 7″ purple pressing that will include their song ‘God’s Country’ as well. The pressing is limited to a run of 700 and can be pre-ordered here.

Speaking about their decision not to play the festival, Lambrini Girls issued a statement saying: “We will not be appearing at The Great Escape festival this year. This is a targeted approach of a cultural boycott, considering Barclays sponsorship.
“Barclays provide financial services of over £1BN pounds to companies supplying military technology and weapons to the IDF, perpetuating the horrors unfolding in Gaza.”
Green Day offered a taster for their upcoming ‘Saviors’ world tour by playing their seminal albums ‘Dookie’ and ‘American Idiot’ in full at an intimate club show in Los Angeles.
The trio played both albums, as they are set to do on their forthcoming stadium tour, at the Echoplex in LA on Thursday (April 18). Their mammoth 35-song set also included songs from their recent album, which came out in January, as well as a surprise encore of ‘Minority’ and new cut ‘Fancy Sauce’ which wasn’t listed on the printed setlist.
Green Day played ‘Dookie’ from top to bottom first, followed by five songs from ‘Saviors’ – ‘The American Dream Is Killing Me’, ‘Bobby Sox’, ‘Look Ma, No Brains!” ‘Dilemma’ and ‘Saviors’. They followed this with an airing of ‘American Idiot’ in full.
Still can't get over our show at the Echoplex the other night everything gets 100x crazier starting next month!!
Their stadium tour will commemorate the 30th and 20th anniversaries of ‘Dookie’ and ‘American Idiot’ respectively.
The UK and European dates will kick off at the LDLC Arena in Décines-Charpieu, France on June 5, 2024. Throughout June the band will also hit cities like Madrid, Berlin, Milan, Paris and more. Then the UK and Ireland leg will start on June 21 at the Manchester’s Emirates Old Trafford, with further dates in Glasgow, Dublin and a massive Wembley Stadium date in London on June 29.
The North American leg will kick off at Nationals Park in Washington, DC on July 29, 2024, before visiting cities like New York, Philadelphia, Nashville, Austin, Los Angeles and many more, closing out Petco Park in San Diego, California on September 28. You can get any remaining tickets here.
Meanwhile, earlier this month, Green Day performed ‘Basket Case’ with its original demo lyrics – upon receiving an award from Avril Lavigne. They surprised the audience by singing the lines: “They said this has been emotionless flight / Around each other intoxicating their minds / Dancing in the street under suburban lights / They stumbled to the ground without a hurt.” Previously, Armstrong admitted he rewrote these lyrics, calling them “embarrassingly bad”.
‘Running’ features frontman Joe Love’s signature deep vocals along with a loud, energetic synthy beat in true Fat Dog style. The track blends a hard punk sound with a dance floor-ready beat.
Directed by Stephen Agnew, the song’s accompanying video hints to Ken Russell, Ingmar Bergman and MANDY whilst revealing the true origins of the cult of Fat Dog and their real leader.
‘Running’ follows the band’s previously released singles ‘All The Same’ and ‘King of Slugs‘. All three tracks will be featured on Fat Dog’s forthcoming LP ‘WOOF’ which is set for release on September 6 via Domino.
‘WOOF’ is available to pre-order on limited edition Dinked neon green vinyl (with phenakistoscope), red vinyl, standard vinyl, CD and digitally. You can pre-order/pre-save the album here.
Fat Dog’s ‘WOOF’ tracklist is: 1. ‘Vigilante’ 2. ‘Closer to God’ 3. ‘Wither’ 4. ‘Clowns’ 5. ‘King of the Slugs’ 6. ‘All the Same’ 7. ‘I am the King’ 8. ‘Running’ 9. ‘And so it Came to Pass’
“I wanted to make something ridiculous because I was so bored,” Love said in a press release. “Music is so vanilla. I don’t like sanitized music. Even this album is sanitized compared to what’s in my head. I thought it would sound more fucked up.”
Keyboardist Chris Hughes added: “A lot of music at the moment is very cerebral and people won’t dance to it. Our music is the polar opposite of thinking music.”
While appearing as this week’s NME cover stars, Hughes shared: “What we’ve got as a band is special. I hear things from my friends who are in other groups, and there just seems to be constant animosity elsewhere. We get these moments where everything lines up: sometimes, we all look at each other on stage, and quietly recognise that we’re playing a really good gig. It’s an amazing feeling.”
In other news, Fat Dog are set to embark on their first North American tour. Set to kick of in October, the band will make their way across the US with stops in Toronto, Washington D.C., New York City, Chicago, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.
A ticket pre-sale will be available for those who pre-order the album via the band’s official website. Pre-sale will begin on Thursday April 25 at 10am local time. General ticket sales will commence on Friday April 26 at 10am local time. Check out a full list of dates below and visit here to purchase tickets.

At the time, Saoudi said they were 100 per cent with Williamson, and added that “the last thing our increasingly puritanical culture needs right now is a bunch of self neutering middle class boobs telling us to be nice to immigrants; you might call that art, I call it sententious pedantry.”
Now, he has taken a further pop at the Bristol band yet again.

Saoudi told The Independent: “I don’t mind bands being dull or whatever, fair enough, but when you’re grandstanding on that woke ticket I just find that anathema to what rock n’ roll really is, which is the reprobates. This is freak country. We don’t bring that kind of thing in here.”
He continued: “We’re at the end of the band era. Everything is a rehash of a rehash of a rehash. It is the vapour in the tank. People have become, essentially, like the internet… just nodes in a machine and it’s essential for the efficiency of that machine’s functionality that there’s as little friction between these nodes as possible.
“It’s everything turns into everything else and the result is nothingness. People have become streams of interchangeable code and I think the one bright side about that, if you’re a musician, is you have this ridiculous access to all of these other genres and periods. Why not just soup them all together?”
When it was put to him that they have never been a band with a political manifesto as such, he said: “I would say that the manifesto is, ‘All is love, love is the thing’. I’ve been saying it from the start. It’s about human connection. It’s the fable of the sun and the wind: you can fucking blow as hard as you can and just keep screaming down the barrel of the gun and it ain’t gonna change shit. But if you shine and you show people compassion, you listen and you have an open heart, then maybe that connection will be made.”
“Art and music is whatever you want it to be. I also like people shouting at me and telling me I’m a prick sometimes. It’s all important,” he added. “I grew up on hip-hop, but I did not live that life – but it’s important to me and I fucking love it. My calling is what I’m doing, and I’m loving it very much so and I’m grateful to be here.”
He also said: “If you allow people to say you’re a political band, they can throw you in the bin. They can write you off. Coming at things as a ‘political band’ and smashing that into people’s faces isn’t of interest to us because it wears people down too quickly. It makes them too defensive, especially if they’re of a different opinion to you. Our idea is to shake that person’s hand and say, let’s talk and have a conversation.”
Green Day got a jump start on their upcoming “Saviors Tour” with an intimate club show at the Echoplex in Los Angeles on Thursday. As they’ll do on their upcoming stadium outing, the band ran through full performances of both Dookie and American Idiot. The massive 35-song set also included…

Shows in Cardiff, Plymouth, Nottingham and Manchester are lined up for the remainder of the month, and the final three shows will take place during the first week of December.
The December shows include a gig at First Direct Arena in Leeds (3), Glasgow’s OVO Hydro Arena (4), and finally, a stop at the 3Arena in Dublin on December 6.

Fontaines D.C. upcoming UK and Ireland tour dates are:
NOVEMBER 20 – Wolverhampton – The Halls 22 – London – Alexandra Palace 24 – Cardiff – Utilita Arena 26 – Plymouth – Pavilions 27 – Nottingham – Motorpoint Arena 29 – Manchester – Aviva Studios
DECEMBER 3 – Leeds – First Direct Arena 4 – Glasgow – OVO Hydro 6 – Dublin – 3Arena
The 9-date tour through November and December will follow a summer of extensive festival shows for Fontaines D.C., which includes performances at Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds, Fuji Rock, Pukkelpop Festival, and more.
The announcement of ‘Romance’ also came with the release of lead single, ‘Starburster’ – a song inspired by frontman Grian Chatten suffering a panic attack and accompanied by a sinister and cinematic video directed by Aube Perrie (Megan Thee Stallion, Harry Styles, The Hives).
“Bravado meets psychedelia as the frontman says he’s ‘over harder than a turned up challenger’ and ‘the pig on the Chinese calendar’.” it added. “The video, too – a fever dream of blood, animals and a cast of misfits trying to find their way – further supports their referencing of Shygirl and Sega Bodega as key inspirations.”
Speaking about the title of the album, bassist Conor Deegan said: “We’ve always had this sense of idealism and romance. Each album gets further away from observing that through the lens of Ireland, as directly as ‘Dogrel‘. The second album (‘A Hero’s Death‘) is about that detachment, and the third is about Irishness dislocated in the diaspora. Now we look to where and what else there is to be romantic about.”
He added: “This record is about deciding what’s fantasy – the tangible world, or where you go in your mind. What represents reality more? That feels almost spiritual for us.”
