The Hella Mega Tour is an ongoing tour by American rock bands Green Day, Fall Out Boy, and Weezer that was announced on September 10, 2019 and originally included dates from March to August 2020.

All three bands will perform at 29 shows across the North American and European legs. The venues consist of outdoor and indoor arenas as well as outdoor park venues.[3] On February 28, 2020, Green Day announced all nine Asia tour dates were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4] On April 23, 2020, it was announced on the social media pages of the Hella Mega Tour that a number of the European dates would be postponed.[5] On May 19, 2020, it was announced that all dates on the North American leg would be postponed to 2021.[6] On July 15, 2020, it was announced that all dates on the Oceania leg would be cancelled and tickets refunded.[7]
