## Announcement and purpose
Green Day announced the tour on November 2, 2023, after frontman [Billie Joe Armstrong](https://www.edgepedia.org/billie-joe-armstrong) had promised fans, while playing Las Vegas, that the band's next tour would be a massive one featuring [The Smashing Pumpkins](https://www.edgepedia.org/the-smashing-pumpkins), Rancid, and [The Linda Lindas](https://www.edgepedia.org/the-linda-lindas).[1](https://news.pollstar.com/2023/11/02/green-day-announces-the-saviors-tour-with-the-smashing-pumpkins-rancid-the-linda-lindas/) The tour followed the Hella Mega Tour of 2021 and 2022, which Green Day had played with Weezer and Fall Out Boy.[1](https://news.pollstar.com/2023/11/02/green-day-announces-the-saviors-tour-with-the-smashing-pumpkins-rancid-the-linda-lindas/)
The design of the tour tied three records together. *Saviors* was released on January 19, 2024, and shares its title with the tour; Armstrong described the album as feeling like "a trifecta with Dookie and American Idiot where it feels like a life's work."[2](https://www.grammy.com/news/green-day-saviors-new-album-dookie-america-idiot-anniversary-tour/) The album was recorded largely at RAK Studios in London with Rob Cavallo, the producer of *Dookie* and *American Idiot*; its working title was 1972, the birth year of all three band members.[7](https://www.musicradar.com/artists/producers-engineers/i-watched-the-look-on-their-faces-their-jaws-hit-the-floor-theyd-heard-something-they-couldnt-believe-rob-cavallo-tells-us-about-the-thrill-of-producing-green-days-most-celebrated-albums-and-the-anniversary-of-mcrs-the-black-parade) • [2](https://www.grammy.com/news/green-day-saviors-new-album-dookie-america-idiot-anniversary-tour/)
Before the stadium run began, the band warmed up with small club shows, including a surprise gig at the Marquis pub in Camden, London, a set at Las Vegas's 1,000-capacity Fremont Country Club, and a 26-song show at Irving Plaza in New York on January 19, 2024, the eve of the album's release, where "One Eyed Bastard" received its live debut.[8](https://uktour2027.com/artists/green-day/) • [9](https://www.spinmagazine.com/2024/01/green-day-saviors-irving-plaza-live-review/)

**North America.** After a short break, the band crossed to Washington, D.C. on July 29, 2024, and played stadiums across the continent through September 28 at [Petco Park](https://www.edgepedia.org/petco-park) in San Diego.[1](https://news.pollstar.com/2023/11/02/green-day-announces-the-saviors-tour-with-the-smashing-pumpkins-rancid-the-linda-lindas/) The leg included [Rogers Centre](https://www.edgepedia.org/rogers-centre) in Toronto, Citi Field in New York, Fenway Park in Boston, Wrigley Field in Chicago, SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, and [Oracle Park](https://www.edgepedia.org/oracle-park) in San Francisco.[1](https://news.pollstar.com/2023/11/02/green-day-announces-the-saviors-tour-with-the-smashing-pumpkins-rancid-the-linda-lindas/) A reviewer at Fenway Park on August 7 described the production as the most ambitious of Green Day's career, with a 37-song set.[12](https://concertsremembered.app/artists/green-day) In November 2024 the band played Corona Capital in Mexico City.[3](https://www.greendayauthority.com/tour/name/saviors-tour/)
## 2025 legs
The tour continued worldwide in 2025. January dates took in [Johannesburg](https://www.edgepedia.org/johannesburg), Cape Town, and Dubai; February brought shows in Macau, Bangkok, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, and four dates in Japan; March covered Melbourne, Sydney, the [Gold Coast](https://www.edgepedia.org/gold-coast), and Mumbai.[3](https://www.greendayauthority.com/tour/name/saviors-tour/) The band then played Coachella on April 12 and April 19, 2025, followed by festival and headline dates through the summer, including [Download Festival](https://www.edgepedia.org/download-festival) in England, Rock Werchter in Belgium, and a final European show at the Ejekt Festival in Athens on July 6, 2025.[3](https://www.greendayauthority.com/tour/name/saviors-tour/) • [13](https://europetour2027.com/artists/green-day/) The tour closed on September 30, 2025, in California, with a set at the Yaamava' Resort and Casino in Highland listed under the Saviors Tour.[14](https://cadenaser.com/nacional/2025/07/03/un-fan-de-green-day-comete-un-error-fatal-en-el-escenario-y-es-obligado-a-abandonarlo-cadena-ser/) • [15](https://www.setlist.fm/setlists/green-day-13d68939.html)
## Setlists and reception
The setlist structure distinguished headline shows from festival slots. At stadium dates the band performed *Dookie* and *American Idiot* from front to back, adding *Saviors* songs and fan favorites to reach sets of 37 or 38 songs; festival appearances ran shorter, from 18 songs at Coachella to the high 20s.[3](https://www.greendayauthority.com/tour/name/saviors-tour/) Average show length on the tour was 2 hours 6 minutes, with an average start time of 5 hours 29 minutes after doors.[15](https://www.setlist.fm/setlists/green-day-13d68939.html)
Reviews emphasized the anniversary framing. The Independent's review of the Manchester opening night described the band, with Armstrong, bassist [Mike Dirnt](https://www.edgepedia.org/mike-dirnt), and drummer [Tré Cool](https://www.edgepedia.org/tre-cool), reeling through their catalog of hits on the first night of the UK tour.[11](https://www.the-independent.com/arts-entertainment/music/reviews/green-day-uk-tour-manchester-review-b2567033.html) A Spanish review of the Madrid date noted that screens showed images from the band's beginnings and the *American Idiot* era, and that the band added a *Saviors* song, "Look Ma! No Brains!", beyond the studied setlist.[16](https://los40.com/2024/06/02/cronica-un-green-day-en-llamas-nos-lleva-de-vuelta-a-dookie-y-american-idiot-en-una-noche-que-huye-de-la-nostalgia/)
