Green Day announce huge Manchester stadium gig as part of anniversary tour
It will mark 30 years of Dookie and 20 years of American Idiot.
Green Day have just confirmed a huge stadium gig in Manchester as part of their newly-announced The Saviors Tour.
The tour will mark 30 years since the release of their iconic album Dookie, and 20 years of American Idiot.
Green Day’s massive global stadium run will visit the Emirates Old Trafford cricket ground next summer, with some big names supporting.
Their Manchester gig will feature Nothing But Thieves and Maid of Ace as support acts, while other gigs on the European leg will have support from The Hives, Donots and The Interrupters.
The American punk rockers, consisting of Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool, will kick off in Spain on 30 May, before reaching the UK.
Green Day will perform at Emirates Old Trafford on Friday 21 June 2024, with other UK dates including Glasgow and London.
Green Day shared: “We’ve never been more excited to unleash new music than with Saviors, a record that’s meant to be rocked live, together. So let’s thrash. We’ve got some amazing friends who are coming along for the ride!”
Both Dookie and American Idiot have become cultural phenomenons and remained at the forefront of punk culture – and the massive hits from both albums will be played alongside new music from their upcoming album, Saviors.
Green Day already premiered two new songs, The American Dream Is Killing Me and the brand new Look Ma, No Brains!.
General sale tickets for Green Day’s Manchester gig will go on sale on Friday 10 November at 9.30am.
There will also be an exclusive presale on Wednesday 8 November from 9.30am for anyone who pre-ordered Saviors by 7 November.

An affordable club night with £4 doubles is coming to an iconic Manchester nightlife venue
Thomas Melia
One of Manchester’s most-famed nightlife venues is preparing to host an all-new affordable student club night every single week.
Manchester is already a clubbing haven, but now it’s about to receive a fresh face courtesy of events company Oops!
The club night has already seen massive success just over the Pennines hosting a weekly event in Leeds’ student hotspot Headingley every Saturday.
This time, Oops! has chosen none other than one of Manchester’s most iconic nightlife venues, Joshua Brooks, to host its affordable weekly night out.
Clubgoers can expect £4 double and mixer drinks as well as £2 shots and not one, but three rooms of music setting totally different vibes.
The basement is raver-ready with disco-tech and house to soundtrack your evening, the middle room has R&B and slow jams covered, while the top floor takes care of ‘Everything you pretend not to like’.
Oops! also runs in further Northern cities and receives a great reception, hosting nights every Friday in Newcastle and a previous stint in Liverpool too.
This club night company couldn’t contain their excitement revealing in a social media post: “Joshua Brooks is second to none when it comes to sound, production and its deep rooted history in the scene.
“Now, with thousands of pounds’ worth of new lighting installed throughout the venue, we’re ready to show you exactly what we’ve been working on.”
And the company prides themselves on its welcoming atmosphere with the website stating: “No VIP Packages. No ego. No unnecessary nonsense.”
Ticket prices start from £3 and stagger in £1 increments with final tickets capped at £6 – when they said affordable, they really meant it.
Oops! is running every Tuesday from 22 September over at Manchester clubbing institution Joshua Brooks and you can find tickets and more info HERE.
