WA. The Interrupters will appear as special
guests on the tour.

Tickets for all shows, including the rescheduled dates, along with more

In
celebration of this announcement, all three bands will participate in Good Morning America’s Summer Concert
Series on July 17th. Weezer and Fall Out Boy will perform with Green Day
joining them for an exclusive interview.
Additionally, today, Green Day releases their newest
song ”Pollyanna” (LISTEN HERE) out
now. This weekend, Fall Out Boy will perform on the season finale of American Idol, airing live
coast-to-coast on May 23rd at 8pm ET/5pm PT on ABC. Last week, Weezer released their newest
single “All My
Favorite Songs” feat. AJR and performed their song “All The
Good Ones” off of their latest metal influenced album Van
Weezer (LISTEN HERE) on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon.
Five-time Grammy Award-winning Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame inductees Green Day unleash
their brand new song “Pollyanna” out
today. Formed in 1986 in Berkeley, CA, Green Day is one of the world’s
best-selling bands of all time, with more than 70 million records sold
worldwide and 10 billion cumulative audio/visual streams. Their 1994 breakout
album Dookie, which sold over 10
million and achieved diamond status, is widely credited with popularizing and
reviving mainstream interest in punk rock, catapulting a career-long run of #1
hit singles. Entertainment Weekly
calls Green Day, “The most influential band of their generation,” while Rolling Stone attests, “Green Day have
inspired more young bands to start than any act this side of KISS, and that
doesn’t seem to be changing.” In 2004, Green Day released the rock opera American Idiot which captured the
nation’s attention, selling more than 7 million copies in the U.S. alone and
taking home the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album. Mojo declared “It’s exhilarating stuff, the kind of record that
sets new parameters as to what is possible from a punk rock’n’roll band in the
21st century.” In 2010, a stage adaptation of American Idiot debuted on Broadway to critical and commercial
acclaim. Released last year, Green Day’s thirteenth studio album Father Of All… (Reprise/Warner
Records) debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Album
Sales Chart and #1 in both the U.K. and Australia. Pitchfork declared, “Green Day’s most fetching and youthful songs
in ages. The trio sounds reinvigorated, more like hungry newcomers staking
their claim.” Green Day will also be headlining Life is Beautiful
festival in 2020- click here for all dates.
Multi-platinum
selling, Grammy-nominated Fall Out Boy
most recently released the single “Dear
Future Self (Hands Up)” ft. Wyclef Jean from their November 2019 record Greatest
Hits: Believers Never Die – Volume Two. The song marked the band’s
first new music since the August 2018 release of the three-song Lake Effect Kid EP, a love letter to
their hometown city of Chicago that featured the full version of the band’s
previously unreleased title track demo along with two new songs “City in A
Garden” and “Super Fade.” In January 2019, Fall Out Boy was featured on the
gold-certified track “I’ve Been Waiting,” a collaboration from Lil Peep and
iLoveMakonnen. Fall Out Boy’s seventh studio album M A N I
A debuted at #1 on the
Billboard 200 in January 2018 and garnered a GRAMMY nomination for Best Rock
Album. Their worldwide tour in support of the record included a hometown show
at Wrigley Field. In January 2021, they performed at the We The People concert
as part of the official 2021 Biden-Harris Inauguration.
Multi-platinum,
GRAMMY award-winning band Weezer
continues to be one of the most beloved and influential bands of the last
twenty-five years. The band has already
had an amazing 2021 with the release of not one but two incredible albums: an
orchestral pop record meditating on technology and disconnectedness called OK
Human, and an homage to the band’s shared metal roots growing up called
Van
Weezer. 2021 will also see the
band celebrating the 20th anniversary of Weezer (The Green Album) and the 25th anniversary of Pinkerton. Weezer has sold 10 million albums in the
U.S., and over 35 million records worldwide.
Their catalogue has included such megahits as “Buddy Holly,” “Undone
(The Sweater Song),” “Say It Ain’t So,” “El Scorcho,” “Hash Pipe,” “Island In
The Sun,” “Beverly Hills,” “Pork and Beans,” and more. Following massively acclaimed album releases
in 2016 and 2017 (Weezer [The White
Album] and Pacific Daydream,
respectively), and two sold out amphitheatre tours with Panic! At the Disco (in
2016) and Pixies (in 2018), Weezer released a fan-inspired cover of Toto’s
“Africa.” The cover propelled the band
back into the charts across the board, and has since gone Platinum. They then surprise dropped a covers album in
2019 — Weezer (The Teal Album) —
which has been streamed over a hundred million times since its release.
