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.

Stop. Everything.

If you've ever fancied something a little stronger than your tall skinny-latte, listen up. 

Starbucks have just announce plans to open their largest branch to date, housing a coffee-roasting area, retail spaces, a Princi bakery, and wait for it – a mezzanine bar serving beer, wine and spirits.

The 20,000-square-floor store is set to open on New York's Ninth Avenue and is said to be modelled after the original Starbucks Reserve Roastery in Seattle.

The news comes from a Starbucks attorney, Jonathan Bing, who presented the news to Manhattan’s Business Licenses and Permits committee on Wednesday.

The company have also announced plans to recruit local artists to perform at the venue.

There's no word yet on whether Starbucks' new boozy menu will hit Irish shores anytime soon, but we can't imagine we'll have to wait too long.

We are the inventors of the boozy coffee after all.

We all love a good Starbucks collab, and this one pairs one of our favourite celebrities with our need for caffeine. 

Lady Gaga has partnered up with Starbucks to create set of vibrant, fruity drinks to raise money for the singer’s foundation.

According to Starbucks, 25 cent from every purchase will be donated to Gaga’s Born This Way charity.

Funds raised will go toward programmes that support youth wellness and empowerment by fostering kindness, improving mental health resources, and creating more positive environments.

'We’re healthier and happier when we live our lives with compassion and our communities are stronger when we treat one another with generosity and respect,' said Lady Gaga.

'Born This Way Foundation and I are so excited to partner with Starbucks to help inspire positivity and love through the Cups of Kindness collection.'

Unfortunately, Gaga's collab is Stateside only, which is a pity because we're loving the sound of the new drinks. 

There's the Violet Drink. which blends blackberries and hibiscus with coconut milk and ice, and a new Matcha Lemonade which combines matcha green tea with lemonade. 

These new Gaga-esque beverages will be served alongside menu classics like the Pink Drink and the Ombre Drink in the charitable line-up.

Starbucks have become serious fans of colour in recent months, between unicorn frappuccinos and mermaid beverages – they cannot get enough of bright shades. 

The coffee house have now teamed up for a fantastically colourful collaboration with Ban.Do, a Los Angeles based company, and the products are divine.

'All the designs were based off of the idea that we'd bring a slice of L.A. sunshine and fun to the other side of the world,' said Jen Gotch, founder and chief creative officer of ban.do said in a press release.

'We wanted to give our international fans – both old and new – something really special that they couldn't get anywhere else.'

The two famous brands have created 10 products that are packed with happy vibes and gorgeous hand-painted pastel florals inspired by L.A. beach culture.

The collaboration includes Starbucks' signature cups and  accessories, like coasters, luggage tags, bags and notebooks – all embossed with floral patterns and the Good Times slogan. 

The Ban.Do x Starbucks collection will be available starting on May 16, exclusively at Starbucks locations, and we cannot wait.

Summer – we're waiting!

So Instagram has been pretty obsessed with the Unicorn Frappe lately, but there is a new Starbucks shenanigan that's about to blow up. 

Crafty mum and businesswoman Erin Maynard has gained a cult Instagram following thanks to her amazing adaptations of the popular coffee houses' drink cup.

 

A post shared by Erin Maynard (@thegeekycauldron) on

The creative has taken to bedazzling Starbucks cups in the best possible way, and is showcasing them online.

Starting with a plain cup and a stash of random embellishments, Erin created divine designs for the beverage dispensers. 

From a decadent encrusting of pearls to a striking statement piece based on Game of Thrones covered in swords, you can see the hard work (an litres of glue) that went into the embellished cups.

 

A post shared by Erin Maynard (@thegeekycauldron) on  

"My little sister bedazzled me a cup for Christmas and I took it one step further," she told Seventeen.com.

The brains behind Storybook Cosmetics saw how gorge the cup looked, and decided to make a hobby of it.

Along with the opalescent cup and the Game of Thrones homage, Erin also tapped into our love of Disney with a delightful Tangled Rapunzel cup.

We need it for our next Disney marathon, tbh.

In case you've been living under a wifi-free rock lately, the new Starbucks Unicorn Frappe drink (which is sadly not available in Ireland) has completely taken over our social media feeds.

People are obsessed with the florescent pink, purple and blue drink, and while it's definitely Instagram-worthy, there have been mixed reviews over the taste of the beverage. 

That hasn't stopped caffeine and mythical creature zealots from paying homage to the beverage in a semi-permanent way. 

One colourful hair stylist by the name of Caitlin Ford underwent a dramatic hair change inspired by the sour drink. 

Unicorn Frappuccino hair has officially arrived on Instagram, and it is definitely an inspiring look. 

Striking swathes of pink and purple merging into blue define the look, which match the drink perfectly. 

While we love the look, we're wondering how relevant it will be once the limited-edition drink fades from the Starbucks menu.

Starbucks cups are one of the most easily recognised symbols out there.

We bet you can easily conjure that white cup with the green mermaid logo to your mind's eye in an instant. 

The international coffee giant has decided to go in a new direction with their spring cup collection, opting for a style that is every minimalists dream.

The cups are totally logo-less, and no longer come in the classic, crisp white colour. 

They actually now come in a sky blue, bright yellow and pale green.

The new disposable cups leave a blank space in the centre for you to create your own logo if you have a few minutes to spare on the coffee run.

The cups will be available from March 16 at locations in the U.S. and Canada, but no word yet on whether the creative cups are coming to Ireland. 

Starbucks have always offered seasonal cups, with the Christmas cups being hailed as a sign of the imminent festivities. 

We're wondering if the new spring edition will prove as popular?

Think of all the space the baristas will now have to write your name wrong!

The term "breaking the internet" gets thrown around a lot these days, but when a new secret menu Starbucks drink is revealed, social media literally goes crazy.

We joined in on the excitement when we had a little look at the latest offering from the mysterious menu.

A brand new, colourful iced beverage has just landed on Instagram, and we foresee queues out the door for this one. 

The Pink Drink was the way to go for summer 2016, but now the refreshing strawberry and acai blend is getting a 2017 update.

Introducing the Matcha Pink Drink, the perfectly ombre, two toned iced blend that is on a mission to steal our unicorn-loving hearts.

The drink was first revealed on Friday, when Instagram user @dailyfoodfeed shared a photo clutching the beverage. 

 

A post shared by Christy Fang (@itscfang) on

The rainbow drink is made up of three parts traditional Pink Drink (Strawberry Acai Refresher with coconut milk) layered on top of part matcha coconut milk on the rocks, according to @dailyfoodfeed.

We can see major potential for this beverage, what if we went for two parts pink drink, one part matcha and one part blue drink?

The unicorn-hued potentials are endless.

In response to President Donald Trump's hugely controversial order which prevents immigrants from certain Muslim country access into the United States, the head of global coffee chain, Starbucks, has insisted the corporation will do everything they can to counter the president's policies.

Speaking in the wake of Trump's executive order, Howard Schultz, penned a statement for the chain's official website which outlines the organisation's plans to hire 10,000 refugees across the globe.

"We have a long history of hiring young people looking for opportunities and a pathway to a new life around the world," he explained after insisting Starbucks would not maintain a silence around the new Administration's actions.

"This is why we are doubling down on this commitment by working with our equity market employees as well as joint venture and licensed market partners in a concerted effort to welcome and seek opportunities for those fleeing war, violence, persecution and discrimination."

While acknowledging that more than 65 million individuals are recognised as refugees worldwide, Howard explained that Starbucks intends to hire 10,000 across five years.

"And we will start this effort here in the U.S. by making the initial focus of our hiring efforts on those individuals who have served with U.S. troops as interpreters and support personnel in the various countries where our military has asked for such support," he continued.

Recognising the need to highlight the disparity between Trump's policies and Starbucks' ethos, Howard concluded by saying the executive order will not influence the latter.

"We are in business to inspire and nurture the human spirit, one person, one cup and one neighborhood at a time – whether that neighborhood is in a Red State or a Blue State; a Christian country or a Muslim country; a divided nation or a united nation."

"That will not change. You have my word on that," he concluded.

Meanwhile, members of the public in this country are adding their names to a campaign which urges Taoiseach Enda Kenny to boycott his St Patrick's Day visit to the United States.

The day of love is upon us, and Starbucks has us really excited about it. 

They recently launched a special Valentine's Day collection of flasks, mugs and other wonderful coffee trinkets.

We didn't think we could love Starbucks more than we do at Christmas time, but this heart-filled range is really fantastic.

The collection includes gorgeous mugs that have hearts all over them, and a number of travel mugs that are beyond gorgeous. 

The crown jewel of this entire loved-up range is the pink, quilted travel tumbler, which is giving us serious Chanel vibes.

Listen, if flowers and chocolates are not your thing, we suggest you start dropping some Starbucks hints.

A Starbucks barista has been suspended pending further disciplinary action after they used the corporation's naming policy to taunt a customer with a speech impediment.

According to the Daily Mail, Richard Proctor was in a Kent branch of the global chain when he was handed a takeaway cup which had been used to mock his stammer.

Instead of simply writing 'Richard' when provided with the customer's name, the barista wrote "R R R… ichard" in reference to Mr Proctor's pronounced stammer.

Contacting the Starbucks UK Facebook page to complain, he wrote: "The treatment I received from one of the Starbucks staff was extremely offensive and humiliating."

"Yes I have a speech impediment, and have been subjected to many jokes over the years, of which most I can handle, however there are many people that struggle to cope in public and this could be extremely upsetting for them," he continued.

"This is not unique but for some reason some of society think it's acceptable behaviour. The only difference in this instance is that I was handed the proof instead of having to listen to the comment," he added.

Responding to the incident, a spokesperson for the coffee chain said: "We were disappointed to hear of this customer's experience and have been in touch directly to apologise."

"The actions of the partner involved were unacceptable and they have been suspended pending further disciplinary action. We aim to provide a warm and welcoming environment for all of our customers, and plan to provide additional awareness training for our store partners in future."

Weighing in on the matter, Chief Executive of The British Stammering Association (BSA), Norbert Lieckfeld, insisted Richard's experience was yet another example of the discrimination faced by individuals with a speech impediment.

"This is just another example of the ridicule and thoughtlessness that people who stammer face every day and which makes living your life with a stammer so hard," he said.

How many times have you had your name spelled incorrectly on your Starbucks Grande Latte order? More than once, we'd guess.

And how many times have you taken to social media to call Starbucks out on their error while sharing an image of their offending name tag? Again, more than once, right?

Well, if conspiracy theorists are to be believed, you've been playing into the global corporation's hands in that case.

In a move which has YouTubers picking their jaws off the floor in recent days, YouTube channel, Super Deluxe, conducted an experiment and it looks like they might just be on to something.

With the help of a woman named Molly, who visited five branches of the coffee chain, the channel suggested that the coffee house purposely misspell our names so we'll share the mistake on social media.

And hey presto, free advertising.,..
