Green Day at Emirates Old Trafford - stage times, support acts, setlist and how to get there

Following on from an epic series of show from Foo Fighters at Emirates Old Trafford last week, Californian punks Green Day pick up the mantle as they head to the stadium as part of their The Saviors tour - a celebration of their fourteenth studio album.

The legendary rock band have been playing venues across North America and Europe this year, and on Friday (June 21), they'll be playing some of their biggest hits for Manchester fans. It promises to be a ‘larger-than-life, career-spanning celebration of one of the biggest musical acts of all time and some of the most important albums in history'.

Made up of Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool, Green Day is best known for tracks such as hits American Idiot, 21 Guns and Boulevard of Broken Dreams. They will be supported on the Manchester date by Nothing But Thieves and Maid of Ace.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of Green Day’s 1994 certified Diamond album, Dookie, and the 20th anniversary of 2004’s American Idiot. With The Saviors tour, Green Day will bring their impressive back catalogue of hits to crowds, along with new additions from Saviours, which was released earlier this year.

Announcing the tour last November, Green Day said: "We’ve never been more excited to unleash new music than with Saviors, a record that’s meant to be rocked live, together. So let’s thrash. We’ve got some amazing friends who are coming along for the ride!”

Green Day had originally planned to tour in 2020 with Weezer and Fall Out Boy on the Hella Mega Tour, but the tour was delayed due to the pandemic. Other UK dates on the Saviors Tour include Isle of Wight Festival on June 23, Glasgow
