Everton manager Sean Dyche says everyone should see Green Day: “I don’t care what music you’re into, just buy a ticket”

See Everton’s Sean Dyche rave about all the gigs he’s been to – from The Hives to Foo Fighters – as well remembering the time Stuart Pearce “bullied” him into seeing Green Day.

In a new interview for Football Music & Me on The Overlap, football manager Sean Dyche has gone deep on all the gigs he’s been to – and advised everyone that they have to go and see Green Day live.

Speaking with Geoff Shreeves, the Everton boss – who is clearly a massive music fan – looks back at all the shows he’s attended, from seeing The Hives be “awesome” at Glastonbury, to spending many a night at Nottingham’s Rock City, to watching everyone from Pink and Rihanna to Metallica and Foo Fighters over the years.

Sean also remembers the time he went to see Billie Joe Armstrong and co. live with fellow football legend Stuart Pearce…

“It just feels like two hours of high-octane, non-stop, smashing the life out of song after song,” Sean enthuses of the punk rock titans. “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.

“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.”
