The band also revealed a new song on Thursday during a club show in Las Vegas
Green Day are embarking on a massive stadium tour next year. Frontman Billie Joe Armstrong confirmed the 2024 trek at an exclusive club show in Las Vegas last night [Thursday, October 19]. Very special guests for the run will be The Smashing Pumpkins, Rancid, and The Linda Lindas. Exact dates, venues, and ticket information is forthcoming.
The band also revealed a new song during the show. The track is titled, “The American Dream is Killing Me.” Stream a fan-filmed clip below now.
While performing at Plaines d’Abraham in Quebec City, Canada back in July, the trio gave another new piece of material its live debut. “This song is called 1981,” Armstrong said to the crowd before launching into the song. With a very vintage Green Day sound, Armstrong roars, “She’s gonna bang her head like 1981” during the no frills punk rocker. Whatever it was, it sounded promising.
Green Day’s last studio effort was 2020’s Father of All Motherfuckers. The record featured four singles, including the title track. Produced by Butch Walker (Weezer, Fall Out Boy, Sevendust) and Chris Dugan (Alan’s Morissette, Weezer, Iggy Pop), the disc debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200. In 2021, the band released the live album BBC Sessions.
Green Day are currently celebrating the 25th anniversary of their seminal album Nimrod. To commemorate the record, they released a special 52-song edition featuring the original album, demos, and live tracks. The original album has since been certified double platinum by the RIAA.
Tomorrow, Green Day are slated to headline the second annual When We Were Young festival alongside blink-182 on Saturday, October 21 in Las Vegas.
