Green Day are coming to Manchester for a huge stadium tour to mark their 30th anniversary.

The Manchester gig, part of the band’s ‘The Saviors Tour’, will be held at Emirates Old Trafford cricket ground on Friday, June 21st.

Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool will celebrate 30 years since the release of their iconic album ‘Dookie’, and 20 years of cult favourite ‘American Idiot’.

Fans can expect to hear all of Green Day’s best loved tracks as well as their newer music too.

And to make the day even better, the ‘Boulevard of Broken Dreams’ hitmakers will be supported by a strong line-up including Nothing But Thieves and Maid of Ace.

About the announcement of their tour, Green Day said: “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!”

Other dates include Isle of Wight Festival on June 23rd, Glasgow on June 25th, Dublin on June 27th and Wembley Stadium in London on June 29th.

The tour announcement comes as Green Day, known for their hits American Idiot and 21 Guns, release their latest track ‘Look Ma, No Brains!’ – fresh off the back of their new album Saviours, which will be released on January 19th.

It promises to be a ‘larger-than-life, career-spanning celebration’ of one of the biggest American punk-rock musical acts of all time and ‘some of the most important albums in history’.
