Green Day, Lorna Shore, Emperor, Electric Callboy and more announced for Norway’s Tons Of Rock festival
Tons Of Rock takes place at the end of June… that’s quite close to Download Festival, innit?
As well as a last-minute show in Paris on November 4, Green Day say they’ll be “seeing some more of you in other cities very soon”.
Following their intimate Vegas show ahead of When We Were Young, Green Day are playing another small gig very, very soon.
The trio have just announced a surprise, last-minute gig at the 1,500-capacity Bataclan in Paris for this coming Saturday, November 4. If you can’t make the trip to France, then don’t worry, because they’ve also teased that, “We’ll be seeing some more of you in other cities very soon.”
This all follows the announcement of Green Day’s upcoming 14th album Saviors, which is due out on January 19, 2024 via Reprise/Warner Records, and was co-produced by Rob Cavallo (who worked with the band on classics like Dookie and American Idiot).
The band say that it’s “an invitation into Green Day’s brain, their collective spirit as a band, and an understanding of friendship, culture and legacy of the last 30 plus years. It’s raw and emotional. Funny and disturbing. It’s a laugh at the pain, weep in the happiness kind of record. Honesty and vulnerability.”
Watch the video for lead single The American Dream Is Killing Me below, which frontman Billie Joe Armstrong describes as “a look at the way the traditional American Dream doesn’t work for a lot of people – in fact, it’s hurting a lot of people.”
