In preparation for their upcoming The Saviors Tour, Green Day has announced another club show before they hit the road to play stadiums, starting May 30 in Spain.
The band will play the Echoplex in Los Angeles on Thursday (April 18). Tickets for the surprise show go on sale Wednesday (April 17) at noon PT through Live Nation. The band teased the gig with a post on their official Istagram.
This is the third West Coast club show the band has played on their Hella Tiny Tour in advance of their stadium tour. On April 2, the band played The Fillmore in San Francisco, near their home turf in Oakland. Last month they played the House of Blues in Anaheim, Calif., where tickets were reselling for up to $1,000 before the show. They also played a show at Irving Plaza in New York on Jan. 18. At the Fillmore, the band played their latest album Saviors from front to back and then followed suit with American Idiot in its entirety, and then played "Minority" and Basket Case" for encores, according to setlist.fm. After playing dates abroad in June with opening acts The Interrupters, The Hives, Nothing But Thieves and Maid of Ace, the band will officially kick off their North American stadium dates on July 29 at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. Opening acts for the U.S. dates include the Smashing Pumpkins, Rancid and the Linda Lindas. After hitting stadiums across the country, the North American leg will wrap on Sept. 28 at Petco Park in San Diego. The band will pick up the tour in 2025 on Jan. 19 at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg, South America. Openers include The Offspring and Fokof Polisiekar. On Jan. 23, the same bill will hit DHL Stadium in Cape Town, South Africa. On the tour, the band will celebrate the 30th anniversary of their major label debut, Dookie, and the 20th anniversary of American Idiot by playing both albums in their entirety. Green Day's latest album, Saviors, was released in January and peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard 200, but the album reached the top of the album chart in the U.K. In other Green Day news, Dookie was just inducted into the National Recording Registry at the Library of Congress. The band shared the news with a post on their official Instagram.
