Green Day, having taken over a three year break since their last tour, has announced that they will return with a total of 39 concerts across North America, promoting their soon-to-be-released album, 21st Century Breakdown. The opening show will take place in Seattle’s Key Arena on July 3rd, and the tour will continue across the U.S and Canada until the final show on August 25th at The Forum in Los Angeles. All Canadian Green Day tickets go on sale May 8th, except for the Ottawa and Montreal shows which go on sale on the 9th. For the American concerts, ticket sale dates vary, so check out Green Day’s official tour page for details on each show.
“Know Your Enemy,” the first single off of the album that is being promoted on the tour, has already taken the top spot on radios for the Alternative genre, making it their ninth number one single for the genre. The album has already impressed critics, with one reviewer from Rolling Stone in particular claiming “21st Century Breakdown is Green Day’s best album.” If you’re a fan of Green Day, it sounds like you have a lot to look forward to with the new album and tour!
