Global rock superstars Green Day — Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tré Cool — soon embark on their massive 2024 global stadium tour. The Saviors Tour, fueled by Monster Energy, begins at Nationals Park in DC on Monday, July 29, with the illustrious rock luminaries The Smashing Pumpkins, Rancid, and The Linda Lindas as special guests.

Green Day shared, “We’ve never been more excited to unleash new music than with Saviors, a record that’s meant to be rocked live, together. So let’s thrash. We’ve got some amazing friends who are coming along for the ride!”

The tour will be a larger-than-life, career-spanning celebration of one of the biggest musical acts of all time and some of the most important albums in history. This year marks the 30th anniversary of Green Day’s 1994 certified Diamond album, Dookie, and the 20th anniversary of 2004’s juggernaut, American Idiot. Each a cultural phenomenon in its own right, these albums have remained at the forefront of punk culture since their release. With blazing guitars and electrifying vocals, Green Day are ready to bring their mind-blowing collection of hits to stadiums across the country, along with plenty of additions from their newly announced album, Saviors.

During their Las Vegas takeover, which also included commanding headline performances at When We Were Young festival, the band debuted two killer new tracks: the first single “The American Dream Is Killing Me” and the brand new “Look Ma, No Brains!”

Watch the official music video for “Look Ma, No Brains!” by Green Day on YouTube:

Formed in 1986 in Berkeley, California, Green Day is one of the world’s best-selling bands of all time, with more than 75 million records sold worldwide and 10 billion cumulative audio/visual streams. The five-time Grammy Award-winning Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees released their breakout album Dookie in 1994, which sold over 10 million and achieved 10x Platinum Diamond status, is widely credited with popularizing and reviving mainstream interest in punk rock, catapulting a career-long run of No. 1 hit singles.

In 2004, Green Day released the rock opera American Idiot which captured the nation’s attention, selling more than 8 million copies in the USA alone and taking home the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album. Mojo declared “It’s exhilarating stuff, the kind of record that sets new parameters as to what is possible from a punk rock’n’roll band in the 21st century.”

In 2010, a stage adaptation of American Idiot debuted on Broadway to critical and commercial acclaim. Released in 2020, Green Day’s thirteenth studio album Father Of All… debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Album Sales Chart and No. 1 in both the UK and Australia.

In July 2021, Green Day embarked on The Hella Mega Tour (w/ Fall Out Boy & Weezer). The global tour included 29 sold-out stadium gigs — including renowned venues like London Stadium and Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium. On Oct. 24, 2023, the band announced the release of their highly anticipated 14th studio album, Saviors, and released their brand new single, “The American Dream Is Killing Me.”
