The O2

"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

Green Day have confirmed their first full UK tour since the start of 2005, playing The O2 as their only London dates on 23 & 24 October 2009.

Green Day's long-awaited and highly anticipated eighth studio album '21st Century Breakdown' will be released worldwide by Reprise Records on Friday, 15 May. The album is the trio's first since the phenomenally successful 'American Idiot' album that sold over 12 million copies, debuted at #1 on both sides of the Atlantic and earned the band two Grammy Awards.

The band commenced work on '21st Century Breakdown' early in 2006 and subsequently enlisted the expertise of legendary producer Butch Vig (Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins). The album is divided into three acts - 'Heroes and Cons', 'Charlatans and Saints' and 'Horseshoes and Handgrenades' - and follows a young couple, Christian and Gloria, through the mess and promise of the century so far. The album's single, 'Know Your Enemy', is out now.

Tickets are priced at £37.50 and go on sale at 10am on Friday 1st May via www.theo2.co.uk or by calling 0844 856 0202. Tickets are limited to two per applicant.
