Green Day's World Tour Hits Download Festival UK to Celebrate 30 Years of Dookie and 20 Years of American Idiot

Finally! Green Day are scheduled to make their first-ever appearance at Download Festival this coming Friday, and being huge lovers of all things rock related, a few of us here at Ninth Planet T-Shirts will be heading down for what promises to be one of Downloads most memorable and liveliest events to date. We are so excited!

Their Download appearance will be a part of continuation of the bands Saviors Tour; an ongoing world tour to support their fourteenth studio album Saviors. The tour, which began back in May 2024, has so far included shows in Europe, South Africa, North America, and the United Arab Emirates.

The first-time Download headliners will be playing a two-hour set on the Apex Stage this coming Friday 13th June, where the trio plan to perform two of their most adored albums in their entirety; Dookie for the record's 30th anniversary and American Idiot which is now celebrating its 20th anniversary!

Green Day, who first formed in 1986 will then be moving on to play a string of shows across Europe, which will include dates in Italy, Greece, Germany and Holland among others.

Our team can't wait to touch down at Download this year, with performances from an array of amazing bands and a line up that will also include co-headliners Sleep Token and the mighty Korn - this is going to be epic!

But it's not just those of us who can make it to watch these guys perform live this year that are part of this movement! Sure, you may no longer be able to acquire tickets for some of the closer tour dates now, but you can always console yourself with the comforting feeling of a brand-new Green Day t-shirt to proudly show your love and support for this iconic punk trio! Don’t worry we’ve got you covered.

Green Day's Saviors Tour is currently scheduled to conclude on 26th September 2025, so there's still time if you wish to go see them play. Although, at this stage in the tour you may have to catch them at one of their European shows.

For now, to all fellow rockers descending upon the holy grounds of Castle Donington for Download this coming Friday, we hope you all have a fab time and we'll see you there!
