It seems Green Day have been missing Australia, and they’re hoping to get back down here as soon as possible.
Speaking during an interview on Aussie morning TV talk show, Sunrise, the trio of Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool revealed that they’re hoping to return down under in 2025, off the back of their forthcoming new album, Saviors.
Green Day – ‘The American Dream Is Killing Me’
“We haven’t been to Australia in years,” frontman Billie Joe Armstrong told the tele show. “We definitely want to come back — maybe 2025.
“Every time we go to Australia it’s hard to leave.”
Green Day last visited our shores in 2017 for their Revolution Radio tour, during which they were also spotted recording at a local studio in Perth.
They were supposed to return in 2020 alongside Weezer and Fall Out Boy for the ill-fated Hella Mega Tour, which sadly went on to be cancelled due to covid. Weezer and Fall Out Boy have both since paid Aussie fans a visit on separate tours this year, but we’ve yet to see the same from Green Day.
The trio’s new album, Saviors, is due out on Friday, 19th January 2024. It’s their first record since 2020’s Father of All Motherfuckers, a spottily-reviewed record, but one that was warmly embraced by the fans who have had Dookie ringing in their ears since it came out back in 1994.
Saviors is being pitched as something of a return to the halcyon days of Green Day. Co-producer Rob Cavallo previously worked on both Dookie and 2004’s American Idiot, widely regarded as the two best records in the band’s discography.
