Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong
It’s been more than three years since Green Day hit the road, and they’re making up for lost time.
On Monday (April 20), they announced the first dates of a massive world tour in support of their upcoming album 21st Century Breakdown (due May 15), a two-month jaunt that will take the band across the U.S. and Canada.
The tour kicks off July 3 in Seattle and wraps August 25 in Los Angeles. No venues have been announced yet, nor have on-sale dates or opening acts.
Green Day’s last tour — in support of their massive American Idiot album — spanned two years and was their most successful (and lengthy) jaunt to date. While working on Breakdown, the band took time off for a week-long tour as alter egos the Foxboro Hot Tubs.
With Monday’s announcement of a tour, it’s shaping up to be quite a week for Green Day fans. On Friday at 8 p.m. ET, their much-anticipated new video for the song “Know Your Enemy” will make its world premiere on more than 250 MTV on-air and online outlets.
