California alternative pop-punk rockers Green Day have announced a 27-date tour celebrating the 30th anniversary of their breakthrough album, Dookie, and the 20th anniversary of American Idiot. The band will be performing both Dookie and American Idiot in their entirety during the tour. Green Day bassist Mike Dirnt told Rolling Stone in an interview that the two albums will take around 90 minutes to perform and “We’ll then have about 35 to 45 minutes to throw down on other stuff.”
Kicking off in July in Washington, D.C. and stopping in Charlotte on August 26 at PNC Music Pavilion, the Grammy Award-winning rock band, consisting of singer-songwriter and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, drummer Tré Cool, and bassist Mike Dirnt, will also release their fourteenth album, Saviors, on January 19.
Green Day will be supported by teenage punk rockers The Linda Lindas, who will be performing in Charlotte for the first time following a whirlwind couple of years since the release of their 2021 viral hit “Racist, Sexist Boy.” Signing to the famed punk rock label Epitaph in 2021, the band released their debut album, Growing up, in April of 2022, touring with Paramore, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Japanese Breakfast, also performing at Lollapalooza and Boston Calling over the summer.
This will be the first time Green Day will be in Charlotte since 2005’s American Idiot World Tour, and they’ll also be joined by fellow California punk rockers Rancid in the Queen City and The Smashing Pumpkins on select dates.
