No matter how old you get, there’s probably a little part of you that reflects fondly on the days of gelled mohawks and dick jokes – and we’re preparing to embrace our inner pop-punk child when Green Day tour Australia in 2017.
First bursting onto the scene with their ridiculously catchy and undeniably classic album Dookie, Green Day pioneered the bratty pop-punk sound alongside acts like Rancid (GOATs) and The Offspring before gaining traction with more subtle offerings including heartfelt anthem ‘Time Of Your Life’. Later, they embraced a more cohesive sound and the use of mascara on American Idiot, and come 2016, they’re on the brink of releasing another album Revolution Radio next month.
Now one of today’s more consistent long-standing rock acts, Green Day will be arriving in Australia for a string of stadium dates. While we’re expecting the focus to be on Revolution Radio, we’ve got our fingers crossed for some throwback gems and timeless sing-a-longs to take us back to our more carefree years. Can you feel the teen angst in the air? Tickets go on sale from October 18 at 10:00am local time – see all the dates and details below, and you’d best go rummaging through your wardrobe for that canvas belt and wallet chain:
