CHICAGO – Get ready, Chicago! On Tuesday, August 13, rockers Green Day will electrify Wrigley Field with a monumental concert like no other. For the first time ever, the iconic American rock band – formed in Rodeo, California in 1987 by lead vocalist and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong and bassist/backing vocalist Mike Dirnt – will perform both the “Dookie” (1994) and “American Idiot” (2004) albums in their entirety, celebrating both works on their milestone anniversaries in 2024.

Completing the power trio is drummer Tré Cool, who joined the band in 1990. Green Day will deliver a show that spans their signature punk rock, pop-punk, alternative rock, skate punk, and power pop sound. Alongside the classic albums, fans can look forward to hearing fan favorites and new tracks from their latest album. And the other bands appearing … not too shabby … are Rancid, The Linda Lindas and Chicago’s own The Smashing Pumpkins.

Renowned for their high energy, in-your-face aggressive live shows, combined with heartfelt, sentimental songs that resonate deeply (“Time of Your Life,” “Wake Me Up When September Ends”) Green Day is fresh off a massive European tour and ready to bring their incredible show to the States and the ballpark. Their live performances are legendary, featuring dynamic stage presence, explosive energy, and a connection with the audience that is both raw and emotional. With over 30 years of incredible music and performances under their belt, the band continues to rock harder than ever.

In addition to the music, Green Day fans can enjoy the band’s newest venture, Punk Bunny Coffee, available at every tour stop. While many artists are canceling tours this summer, Green Day continues to draw huge crowds and sell out stadiums.

Their most recent album was released earlier this year to critical acclaim, “Saviors” marks Green Day’s 14th studio album. This powerful collaboration with Grammy-winning producer Rob Cavallo, known for his work on the aforementioned “Dookie” and “American Idiot,” is a testament to the band’s enduring legacy and innovation.

If you got tickets for this concert, expect a larger-than-life sold out show at Chicago’s legendary Wrigley Field!
