Green Day to Play Two Classic Albums in Full on Upcoming Tour

green-day-to-play-two-classic-albums-in-full-on-upcoming-tour

Green Day will embark on the sprawling Saviors tour this summer in support of their new album of the same name, and they’ll sweeten the deal by playing two of their classic albums — 1994’s Dookie and 2004’s American Idiot — in full.

The pop-punk trailblazers have been framing their new album, which comes out on Friday, as the third installment in a trifecta that also includes Dookie and American Idiot. The former marked Green Day’s major-label debut, selling more than 10 million copies in the United States and kick-starting the ’90s pop-punk explosion. The latter helped the band reinvent itself for a younger audience and became a multiplatinum global smash after years of declining album sales.

Saviors reunites Green Day with longtime producer Rob Cavallo, who also helmed Dookie and American Idiot. The band has previewed the album with four singles so far: “The American Dream Is Killing Me,” “Look Ma, No Brains!,” “Dilemma” and “One Eyed Bastard.”
