Hella Mega, a continuing music tour, had its San Francisco stop at Oracle Park on August 27. With an impressive lineup of Weezer, Fall Out Boy, and Green Day, this show was definitely one for the books.

First up was the opening band, The Interrupters. They were as good as an opening band can be, but the energy in the crowd was definitely not at its peak yet, and people were still starting to arrive. Nonetheless, they gave a satisfactory performance and did what they were there to do.

Next up was Weezer. They are a classic: They could just show up and only play “Buddy Holly,” and people would still be pleased. They played their mainstream hits and some newer songs, but oddly they didn’t play “No One Else,” which is strange because that is one of their biggest hits on their most popular album. They played their radio hits and even covered “Africa” by Toto. As most of their sets go, they ended with “Buddy Holly,” and the crowd was very excited about that.

Fall Out Boy was next, and they did not disappoint. Lead singer Patrick Stump’s voice sounded great, and Pete Wentz, bassist and second lead man, entertained the crowd between songs. They played some fan favorites like “Uma Therman,” “​​My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up),” and “Sugar We’re Going Down Swinging.” About halfway through the show, their piano was even on fire, which really got the crowd excited. Overall, their performance was more than satisfactory and the crowd wanted more.

Right before Green Day, “Bohemian Rhapsody” started playing on the speakers. This got the crowd engaged, and everyone sang their hearts out. They were then pumped up, and the energy carried over into Green Day’s performance. People expected greatness from the Bay Area rock group, and they did not disappoint. Their songs were amazing, and Billy Joe Armstrong brought a great deal of energy to the stage. Towards the end of their set, he even brought a girl from the crowd on stage to play and take home his guitar. The show ended with lots of fireworks and confetti, creating the perfect end.

Kate O’Connor, a NDB junior, attended the concert and she enjoyed the experience.

“Green Day was my favorite,” said O’Connor. “I feel like their performance had the most energy.”

Hella Mega was truly a one of a kind concert. The lineup was spectacularly impressive, and each group put on their best performance. It was an incredibly unique experience and an amazing first concert for those who have not been to one since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
