Green Day Is Returning to Australia in 2025! Here Are All The Details You Need

Do you have the time to listen to Green Day live? Do you now have 'Basket Case' from the California-born band's iconic 1994 album Dookie stuck in your head? To celebrate three decades since releasing one of the records that defined the 90s, Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool are returning to Australia to play it in its entirety — and to also bust out their American Idiot album from 2004 in full as well.

If you're a Green Day fan, welcome to paradise come March 2025, when the band will hit up stadiums in Sydney, Melbourne and on the Gold Coast. We hope you have the time of your life getting a blast of 90s and 00s nostalgia, complete with 'When I Come Around', 'Longview', 'She', 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams', 'Wake Me Up When September Ends', 'Holiday' and, yes, 'American Idiot' echoing through Engie Stadium, Marvel Stadium and CBUS Super Stadium.

While the visit is part of the group's global The Saviors Tour, which is named for their 14th studio album Saviors, they're clearly happy to keep working through their best-known tunes — and, while they aren't on either Dookie or American Idiot, 'Minority', 'Brain Stew' and 'Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)' have been on Green Day's recent setlist overseas.

"We've never been more excited to unleash new music than with Saviors, a record that's meant to be rocked live, together. And we can not wait to return to Australia, it's been way too long. So let's thrash," said Green Day, announcing their Down Under visit.

In support, also bringing the 90s and 00s to mind, fellow California-born group AFI will share the stage on Green Day's three Aussie gigs in 2025.

It's currently a great time to hear beloved albums in full live in Australia, given that Green Day's tour comes just days after The Killers announced their own trip for late 2024, including playing Hot Fuss from start to finish at some gigs.

Green Day: A History

Let’s start with Dookie, the 1994 certified Diamond album. As Green Day’s third album, Dookie took on a life of its own, making Green Day one of the most loved and most hated bands of the time. As the first album under a major label for the band, the album which included songs about jerking off, stoner paranoia, teenage burn-out and confusion became a commercial success, selling its first million copies within six months of an eventual 27 million sales. The record spawned five successful singles and won the Grammy Award for Best Alternative Album. It’s an album that brought us ‘Longview’, ‘Welcome To Paradise’, ‘Basket Case’, ‘She’ and ‘When I Come Around’. Not shying away from the angst, the juvenility of pop punk and the “f**k you” attitude of the genre, Dookie collected a dedicated fanbase of fed up teens and pissed off a lot of elders.

It’s a trend that re-emerged a decade later with American Idiot. The political-fed album spoke again to a generation of tired, fed-up and frankly crippled youth in a country that was going through some heavy political woes. The titular track became an anthem that is still prevalent in America’s current political climate, underscored by bleeding guitars and back-breaking drum beats. As their seventh studio album, American Idiot brought back the bands fight and status in the pop punk world. The album spawned five successful singles: the titular track, ‘American Idiot’, ‘Holiday’, ‘Wake Me Up When September Ends’, punk rock opera ‘Jesus of Suburbia’ and the Grammy Award for Record of the Year winner ‘Boulevard of Broken Dreams’. It’s a juggernaut that keeps on churning 20 years on.

Green Day: The Saviors Tour

As they undertake their celebratory Saviors album tour, which also features the band’s 14th studio album, including first single ‘The American Dream Is Killing Me’ and ‘Look Ma, No Brains!’, it looks like Green Day still have a damn lot to say!

Get on board and grab a ticket to what is bound to be a euphoric, chaotic and damn-right riot of a time!
