The announcement of a surprise show in Paris comes following Armstrong and co. sharing news of a new album âSaviorsâ.
First announced last week (October 26), the new LP is set to arrive on January 19, 2024, via Reprise/Warner and will be the bandâs 14th studio album, following 2020âs âFather Of All Motherfuckersâ. You can pre-order it here.
To celebrate the announcement, the band also dropped the lead single from the project, âThe American Dream Is Killing Meâ, alongside a new music video of the trio tackling a zombie apocalypse.
The new track was first teased the week prior when Green Day gave the then-unreleased song its live debut in an intimate Las Vegas show. Held at the 1,000-capacity Fremont Country Club venue, the gig served as a warm-up for their headline sets at When We Were Young festival.
At the following festival dates, the band also played a live performance of another soon-to-be released song from the upcoming album, titled âLook Ma, No Brainsâ.
This year has marked the 30th anniversary of the bandâs 1994 classic âDookieâ â for which they shared a massive deluxe edition of the album â and also saw the members announce details of a US headline tour.
Set to kick off next year, the US dates will feature support from The Smashing Pumpkins, Rancid and The Linda Lindas. They teased that UK and EU dates are set to be announced at a later date.
