Leave a comment

The band Green Day just rocked the halls of Webster with a gig in NYC while the insanity of the NY Comic Con was in full sway. I wanted to hit that show but for me when the Con is happening there is little else that I can pay any attention to but I digress. I’ll have my chance to catch the band on their full scale tour based on the announcement below. Check out the official Press Release and the dates, then I’ll come back with some added information.

In January, Green Day will launch a European arena tour in support of the album. The Interrupters will support all dates in Europe. Please see below for all upcoming dates. Produced by Green Day and recorded in Oakland, Revolution Radio is a potent 12-track blitz of angst-ridden anthems that unites Green Day’s fully formed stylistic approach with lyrical themes that address the complexities and uncertainties of modern day existence. Musically, the album is raw, visceral, and fearless – solidifying the band’s reign as one of the leading voices in rock music. Inspired by recent events, the first single “Bang Bang” marks a welcome return from a band with more to say than ever.
