11-05 - PRESS RELEASE - ON SALE TODAY
Green Day Announce first outdoor shows since the release of ‘21st Century Breakdown’; tour includes the band’s first ever Wembley Stadium show
“The fact that 20,000 people holler every word of American Idiot’s rejection of a “redneck agenda” is both exhilarating and encouraging… It’s all perfectly pitched and unexpectedly fantastic” – The Guardian, 23/10/09, London O2
“The beauty about this gang of gracefully grown-up punks is how they have mastered the art of making the orchestrated seem improvised and how they make every voice in the room feel like it’s the most important” – Kerrang!, 20/10/09, Belfast Odyssey Arena
“Green Day’s greatest accomplishment is the manner in which they’ve constructed a supremely cohesive whole out of such seemingly disparate parts. The characters, themes and motifs that recur throughout 21st Century Breakdown are marshalled into an engrossing narrative that recalls both Bruce Springsteen and novelist Chuck Palahniuk” – Observer Music Monthly review of the ‘21st Century Breakdown’ album
Green Day’s recent sold-out tour wowed audiences with the band’s inimitable combination of frenzied punk energy, theatrical flourishes and euphoric crowd participation. Reiterating their status as one of the world’s most electrifying live bands, the shows featured a huge array of Green Day’s hits including ‘Basket Case’, ‘Longview’, ‘Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)’, ‘Minority’, ‘American Idiot’, ‘Wake Me Up When September Ends’, ‘Know Your Enemy’ and ’21 Guns.’
Now Green Day can confirm their first UK stadium shows since their famous two-night stand at Milton Keynes National Bowl in 2005 that was later documented in their live album ‘Bullet In A Bible’. In addition to the two shows on these shores, the full details of which are as below, Green Day will also play the Parc des Princes in Paris on June 26th.

11-05 - GREEN DAY KICK OFF EMAS WITH FIERY SET
The 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards kicked off with plenty of pyro, tons of crunching chords and a nearly exposed backside — all courtesy of Green Day.
The iconic East Bay punks pulled the curtain at the 2009 EMAs, but they hardly seemed like an opening act, shredding their way through a fiery, feisty performance that had the Berlin crowd in hysterics. Billie Joe Armstrong and company tore right into "Know Your Enemy" from 21st Century Breakdown, chugging through chords as flames exploded behind them. Midway through the song, Armstrong strode into the crowd, pounding on his guitar (and nearly losing his pants in the process), did a victory lap, then returned to the stage just as his Green Day mates launched headlong into "Minority," from 2000's Warning.
It was a similar move to the one they pulled during rehearsals for the MTV Video Music Awards back in September, when they treated an audience of stagehands and techs to a ripping, career-spanning mini-concert of their hits.
Like in New York, the effect was palpable: The EMA audience quickly went into overdrive, pogo-ing and shouting along furiously. In keeping with the live vibe, Green Day took the opportunity to stretch the song into an impromptu jam, adding an accordion to the mix and trading licks. Armstrong egged the crowd on with "Oy! Oy!" chants, and once again, it responded with a vengeance.
And then it all wrapped up in a fiery crescendo (literally, the stage was engulfed in a wall of flames) and the crowd cheered lustily. The 2009 EMAs were officially under way — but they're gonna have to work really hard to top the opening act.
