As Meet Me @ The Altar prepare to return to the UK this summer for Slam Dunk, the band have confirmed that, after the festivals, they'll be joining the mighty Green Day for a few European dates. Huge!

The pop-punk stars are set to support Billie Joe Armstrong and co. in Denmark (Copenhagen Forum), Norway (Ålesund Color Line Stadion) and Sweden (Johanneshov Tele2 Arena) in June, with Green Day's Hella Mega Tour mates Weezer also playing the latter two shows.

"We are sooooo excited to share that we will be joining a few dates with the legendary Green Day and Weezer this summer!" say MM@TA. "Denmark, Norway and Sweden, we cannot wait to see you in June."

Of course, Green Day will also be playing a whole bunch of shows in the UK and Europe this summer, as the Hella Mega Tour with Fall Out Boy and Weezer finally crosses the pond.

They recently had to cancel their Moscow gig, though, writing in a statement: “With heavy hearts, in light of current events we feel it is necessary to cancel our upcoming show in Moscow at Spartak Stadium.

“We are aware that this moment is not about stadium rock shows, it’s much bigger than that. But we also know that rock and roll is forever and we feel confident there will be a time and a place for us to return in the future.

“Refunds available at the point of purchase. Stay safe.”
