We suggest you contact the Richard De La Font Agency, which claims to represent Green Day for private parties. We found another Green Day private party listing at Grabow & Associates. According to a Forbes article by Neal Santelmann called "So You Wanna Book a Rock n' Roll Star?," plenty of high-profile acts are available for private parties. The catch is that you have to pay them obscene amounts of money. Most bands generally charge two to three times their regular fee for private
gigs. Bon Jovi will play in your living room for $850,000, the Beastie Boys for $500,000, or Modest Mouse for $100,000. The list goes on. Kylie Minogue sang for half an hour at a wedding banquet for $350,000, the Rolling Stones once played a 40-minute birthday party set for $7 million, and Destiny's Child recently did a bar mitzvah for some serious cash. Elton John refers to private gigs as "bank raids or giggle money." You may have to wait a while, though. According to the tour schedule on their official site, Green Day is booked solid until November. Until then you can check out this nifty fan FAQ.
