Green Day calls on big-name bands for support

Green Day recently announced the dates and locations of their upcoming and highly anticipated tour in support of their brand new album, “21st Century Breakdown,” and now they are proud to announce the opening acts that will accompany them along the North American leg of the tour.

The Bravery, The Kaiser Chiefs, and Franz Ferdinand will be taking turns opening for the legendary punk-pop group throughout the summer up until August 25th, which marks the official end of the North American portion of the tour.

The Bravery will take the honors as being the first opening act, beginning on July 3rd in Seattle, Washington and continuing through to the July 25th show in Albany, New York. From July 27th to August 7th, The Kaiser Chiefs will be prepping fans for the main event, and from August 8th through to the 25th Franz Ferdinand will take the place as opening act.

Green Day’s North American tour is in promotion of their eighth studio album — their first in five years — which has topped the Billboard 200 list, selling approximately 215,000 copies in only the first three days on shelves.
