Green Day announce NZ + Australia April/May 2017 tour.

Marking their return to New Zealand for the first time since 2009, Green Day have announced that they will play Auckland’s Vector Arena next year on Saturday, May 13th, while touring Australasia on their Revolution Radio Tour.

Tickets go on sale to the general public from midday on Tuesday, October 18th - with a Frontier Members pre-sale available from 4pm on Thursday, October 13th, until 4pm on Friday, October 14th (or until the pre-sale allocation is exhausted).

"Firm favourites downunder, the April/May 2017 tour will see the band showcasing their new album Revolution Radio (out Friday 7 October through Warner Music).  Described by Rolling Stone as an album that’s “full of fiery politics and big emotions”, the first single ‘Bang Bang’ clocked over 1.5 million views in just a week.
 
With the recent commencement of their US tour, the inevitable rave reviews have already started.  Billboard called the show “blistering”, CBS Philly wrote “Green Day is back and stronger than ever” and the Philadelphia Inquirer said “the show was a high-energy greatest-hits barrage.”
 
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."
