Green Day To Play Shows In South Africa For First Time Ever
Green Dayhave announced they will perform in South Africa for the first time in January 2025. They will play in Johannesburg at the FNB Stadium on January 19th, and in Cape Town at the DHL Stadium on January 23th. Joining them will be The Offspring, and a local band from South Africa named Fokofpolisiekar.
But before that, Green Day are going on a big tour in 2024 called The Saviors Tour. They will play songs from their old albums Dookie and American Idiot from start to finish, and also play some new songs from their latest album called Saviors.
Mike Dirnt, who plays bass guitar in the band, talked to Kerrang! about how excited they are. “We’re excited. I’m excited about the fact that people are excited about Dookie and American Idiot’s anniversaries. I mean, the fact that we’re launching a new record at the same time as those albums having their anniversaries is a strange anomaly, but also really awesome. And it gives us an opportunity to put together one hell of a show. We can deviate from it – we can do whatever we want to do – but, man, there’s a lot of friggin’ fun songs to play!”
So, Green Day fans have a lot to look forward to with concerts all around the world in 2024 and the band’s first-ever shows in South Africa in 2025.

Last night, Green Day took their show underground, surprising New Yorkers with an unexpected acoustic set at the 47th–50th Streets – Rockefeller Center subway station.

As the crowd caught on, Green Day revealed themselves and treated commuters to hits like Basket Case, new single Look Ma, No Brains!, a cover of KISS’ Rock And Roll All Nite, Dilemma, and American Idiot.
Jimmy Fallon, no stranger to musical antics on The Tonight Show, added his tambourine skills to the mix, elevating the excitement. Fans captured the moment on their phones, and there’s hope for official videos from The Tonight Show soon.
This surprise subway station set follows Green Day‘s trend of popping up in unexpected places, like a tiny London pub last year. The timing aligns with the upcoming release of their album Saviors, set to drop this Friday, January 19th.

Everyone’s got that ugly place in their life where they have to deal with ugly thoughts – it could be like revenge or whatever. Thankfully, I have an outlet in songwriting.” .
