Green Day Announces 2013 Dates

That there might have been problems within the Green Day fold became evident at September’s iHeart Radio Festival in Las Vegas when, during the band’s performance, Armstrong began complaining that the set had been cut short, saying he was not “Justin Bieber.” Armstrong followed his rant by smashing his guitar before walking off stage.

it was eventually announced that Armstrong was to undergoe treatment for substance abuse.

Since then, Green Day canceled a series of club dates scheduled for the fall, an appearance at New Orleans’ Voodoo Festival and postponed a tour that was to begin in January in Green Bay, Wis.

Green Day also released a trilogy of new releases. Green Day ¡Uno!, Green Day ¡Dos! and Green Day ¡Tré!

The newly released schedule includes dates on the East Coast and in the Midwest as well as a couple of shows in Canada. The announcement also promises that “additional West Coast dates will be announced in early 2013.”
