Green Day fans hoping to see the rabble-rousing trio at the WBCN River Rave had better wait before buying their tickets.

Although the station has gone into overdrive flogging tickets on television and radio with the news that Green Day will be among the premier attractions at the May 26 Foxboro Stadium event, that might not be so.

Thus far, the date has been listed on the Web site of the tour-industry magazine Pollstar, which says it got the info from 'BCN. A representative at Green Day's management office said she had no information about the date – " which doesn't mean it's not going to happen, " she added.

So why would a radio station sell tickets for a concert that's at best not yet nailed down, and at worst not going to happen?

" Hey man, " said one industry insider, " that's just show biz. You're always hoping for the best.
