As previously reported, the band played a surprise club show in Las Vegas on Oct. 19, just days before headlining the When We Were Young festival. At that show, Green Day performed their new single, “The American Dream is Killing Me.”
In a statement on the song, Billie Joe Armstrong said, “As soon we cut it, we said, ‘Okay, that’s going first,’” He further noted the track is “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.”
Additionally, Armstrong also unveiled details about the band’s stadium tour planned for 2024. While dates haven’t been revealed yet, the bands Green Day is bringing out with them include Smashing Pumpkins, Rancid and the Linda Lindas.
Following their performance in Paris, Green Day will head to Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. On Nov. 19, the band will headline the Twisted Tea Grey Cup Halftime Show for the Canadian Football League’s 110th Grey Cup at Tim Hortons Field.
Details on the New LP
The band’s new album, Saviors, is set for release on Jan. 19, 2024. It’s available for digital pre-save and physical pre-order at select retailers here. Meanwhile, exclusive vinyl pressings, formats and merch bundles are available for pre-order at Store.GreenDay.com.
