American pop-punk icons Green Day have teased that they are set to return to the UK and Europe next year. This comes after the band announced their 14th album, Saviors, due to be released on 19 January 2024 via Reprise Records. The band also confirmed a headline US tour that is also set to kick off in early 2024, thus confirming that the start of next year is going to be big for Green Day fans on both sides of the pond.
The teaser for the UK and Europe tour came via the group’s webstore, with a banner telling fans to, “Pre-order ‘Saviors’ here for presale access to UK and European 2024 tour dates“. There is currently no further information on when tickets will be available or when exactly the dates will be, only the need to pre-order their new album for first dibs on tickets.

The album in question is the band’s forthcoming 14th studio LP, Saviors. Co-produced by Rob Cavallo, who worked with the band on classic Green Day LPs like Dookie and American Idiot, Saviors is the band’s latest release since 2020’s Father Of All Motherfuckers. A single taken from the new album, “The American Dream Is Killing Me“, was also released on Wednesday and offers a glimpse into the band’s latest venture.

The upcoming tour of the UK and Europe will see Green Day visit the UK for the first time since their Hella Mega tour, a tour they shared with fellow American bands Weezer and Fall Out Boy, with Australian punk outfit Amyl & The Sniffers tagging along too. The Hella Mega UK and European tour failed to yield a show that was not sold out so if seeing Green Day next year is a priority, be quick or risk missing out.
Formed in California in 1987, Green Day, a punk trio consisting of Billie Joe Armstrong on vocals and guitar, Mike Dirnt on bass and Tré Cool on drums, shot to fame following the release of their third album Dookie (1994), and have since become one of the world’s leading and best known pop-punk bands. American Idiot (2004) and 21st Century Breakdown (2009) cemented their status as punk elites, cultivating a fan base like no other.
