Green Day announce tour dates in support of upcoming album!
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees and Grammy Award-winning rock band Green Day will hit the road for a series of intimate club shows in the U.S. and Canada in support of their upcoming 12th studio album, Revolution Radio, which will be released by Reprise Records on October 7th.
In January, Green Day will launch a European arena tour in support of the album. The Interrupters will support all dates in Europe. For all upcoming dates go to www.greenday.com/tour.
Produced by Green Day and recorded in Oakland, Revolution Radio is a potent 12-track blitz of angst-ridden anthems that unites Green Day’s fully formed stylistic approach with lyrical themes that address the complexities and uncertainties of modern day existence. Musically, the album is raw, visceral, and fearless – solidifying the band’s reign as one of the leading voices in rock music. Inspired by recent events, the first single, Bang Bang, marks a welcome return from a band with more to say than ever.
“It’s about the culture of mass shooting that happens in America mixed with narcissistic social media. There’s this sort of rage happening, but it’s also now being filmed and we all have ourselves under surveillance. To me that is so twisted. To get into the brain of someone like that was freaky. It freaked me out. After I wrote it, all I wanted to do was get that out of my brain because it freaked me out,” told to Rolling Stone frontman Billie Joe Armstrong.
Revolution Radio is available for pre-order at www.greenday.com. Those who pre-order will receive an instant download of Bang Bang. Watch a lyric video for the track below.
