Green Day are in the city centre ahead of their Kilmainham concert tonight.

The band, who have been spotted around town, took a trip down memory lane on Instagram.

Lead singer, Billie Joe Armstrong, took to the social media site to reminisce about the first time he played in Ireland.

In the post, Billie asked his fans if they can remember the name of the venue where Green Day performed.

"December 1991 we played Dublin Ireland above a pub. For the life of me I can't remember the name of the pub (sic).

"I know they called the gig above the pub 'the attic'… but what was the actual name of the pub? Does anyone remember?" he wrote.

However, he later updated the caption, and wasn't too happy about the franchise that replaced the pub.

 

the old white horse inn?

"Ugh. It's now a Starbucks.. sorrow. I have a great memory of playing there. No one was allowed to dance in fear of the roof caving in. Everyone was so friendly. Maybe we should bum rush the Starbucks and play a gig there (sic)?!"

The pub in which they played their first gig was called the The White Horse Inn, and we're just as sad as Billie that it is now a Starbucks.
