21st Century Breakdown World Tour

• View history

The 21st Century Breakdown World Tour was a worldwide concert tour by the band Green Day , lasting from July 3, 2009 to October 29, 2010. The tour was to help show support for their newly released album, 21st Century Breakdown across its 132 shows from the Americas, Europe, Oceania and Asia. It is also the first tour where the band would tour in both Central and South America.

Background [ ]

Unlike their previous tour, Green Day would officially start the tour nearly 2 months after the album had already been released on May 15, 2009. The first three legs of the tour would happen through 2009 in North America, Europe, and Oceania. Some dates for the second European and fifth overall leg of the tour were announced during its second leg for the tour in late 2009 aimed for the summer of 2010. Dates for the seventh leg of the tour were announced in March 2010 and scheduled to start for in August of that year. The tour concluded in Central America with its final show in Costa Rica on October 29.

Opening Artists [ ]

The tour would be supported by a record number of opening artists, totaling up to 26 artists and bands opening before Green Day. Some would server as the opening act for all the concerts in a leg like AFI while some would only make a one-off appearance like the band's secret side project, Foxboro Hot Tubs . A majority of shows would have an opening act present, with special cases either having multiple or none at all. Only some shows during the band's first, sixth, and final leg of the tour include shows with no opening artists.

Live album and documentary [ ]

Like the American Idiot World Tour , the band would record a live album during the tour which would later become Awesome as Fuck . Unlike its previous tour, the recording location for the album was not centralized, instead having songs recorded from different concert venues across the European and North American legs. Only two venues had more than one song recorded for the album, being the Pannonia Fields II venue at Nickelsdorf in Austria and the Cricket Wireless Amphitheatre in Chula Vista, California. The video version of the album contains most songs played during the January 23–24 concerts at the Saitama Super Arena in Japan, with one song record at the Cricket Wireless Pavilion in Phoenix, Arizona. The live album would be released on March 22, 2011.

Set List [ ]

Green Day's typical setlist would consist of around 20 songs, including hit singles and other songs from 21st Century Breakdown, mixed with their other big hits, ending with one or two encores with at least 2 songs each. Unlike the band's last tour, not all songs from the album were played at least once during the tour. The following is a rough list of most fully-played songs during the tour.

Tour Dates [ ]

Cancelled performances [ ].

Throughout the entire tour, the only performance to be cancelled was the concert at Heineken Jammin' Festival in Venice, Italy during leg six of the tour due to bad weather.

Reception [ ]

From the entirety of the 21st Century Breakdown World Tour, the band generated around $90 million across the 132 shows during its run. The tour also sold a similar amount of tickets like the previous American Idiot tour with around 1.5 million sold. Like the tour, the album was also Green Day's most commercially successful album, hitting one million units sold in February of 2011 with over 3.5 million worldwide as of 2022. Awesome As Fuck was released to a generally favorable reception with 100,000 units sold and around 500,000 units total from both album and DVD sales worldwide.

Green Day’s roots date back to 1986 when 14-year-old high school friends Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt formed the group Sweet Children. Sean Hughes joined on bass and Raj Punjabi on drums, both of whom played at the band’s debut concert at Rod’s Hickory Pit in Vallejo, California.

Bassist Hughes left before the band signed with Lookout! Records and released its debut EP 1,000 Hours in 1989. After changing its name to Green Day, the band released its debut full-length album, 39/Smooth, in April 1990. Later that year, it released a pair of EPs and went on its first nationwide tour. A European tour followed in 1992 and 1993.

The success of its sophomore album Kerplunk led the band to sign with the major label Reprise Records. Green Day released its third album, Dookie, in February 1994, which marked the band’s commercial breakthrough thanks to tracks like “Longview,” “Basket Case,” and “When I Come Around” landing the top spots on the Modern Rock chart.

Dookie led to controversial performances at Lollapalooza and Woodstock, further augmenting the band’s burgeoning popularity. Also aiding the mainstream revival of punk alongside Sublime, Bad Religion, and The Offspring, Green Day released a successful lineup of albums such as Insomniac (1995), Nimrod (1997), and Warning (2000) toward the late ’90s.

By introducing the band’s brand of punk rock to a younger audience, Green Day’s seventh studio album American Idiot proved a huge international success. Selling over five million copies and including hits like “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” and “American Idiot,” the record won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album and paved the way for its highest-charting album, 21st Century Breakdown, in 2009.

In 2012, Green Day released a trilogy of albums ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, and ¡Tré!, followed by its induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by Fall Out Boy. It was an unforgettable day for the legendary band as they cemented their place in punk-rock history.

After their memorable induction, Green Day began recording their 12th record, Revolution Radio. The lead single “Bang Bang” pulled no punches and took on the band’s signature punk energy. It set the tone for the rest of the fast-paced, edgy, and outspoken album. As fans thrashed to Green Day’s old-school sound, Revolution Radio shot to the top of the UK and US rock charts in 2016.

The follow-up to Revolution Radio changed the game for Green Day. In 2020, the band’s 13th studio release Father of All… took the year by storm. Green Day experimented with new sounds while paying homage to the classics.

The title track and lead promotional single “Father of All…” showcased all the iconic elements of garage rock and dance-punk. It landed high on the US Rock and Alternative Songs chart, proving the band could shake things up and maintain star power. Other singles like “Fire, Ready, Aim” and “Oh Yeah!” took on a similar sound and helped Green Day secure an 11th top-10 US album.

Like many other musicians, Green Day postponed its 2020 world tour for Father of All… to 2021. Alongside fellow artists Fall Out Boy and Weezer, the Hella Mega Tour spanned across the globe from North America to Europe. Green Day performed a set list full of past and present hits to stadiums filled with loyal fans. The co-headlining tour was a grand achievement for Green Day. After playing venues like Wrigley Field, PNC Park, and Dodger Stadium, the band hit another all-time high in the punk-rock music scene.

Green Day wrapped up their Hella Mega Tour with Fall Out Boy and Weezer in July 2022. The band followed up with a string of music festival appearances at Lollapalooza, Sea.Hear.Now, and Rock in Rio.

Green Day’s signature punk persona helped it solidify a spot in music history. Today, the group is just as influential as it was in the ’90s. Due to their long-standing popularity, a recent reissue of Green Day’s triple-platinum album, Nimrod, is set to hit the stands for its 25th anniversary.

In honor of the iconic LP, the band unveiled a demo version of “You Irritate Me.” Overall, the new edition of Nimrod will include the original 18 tracks, 14 never-before-heard demos, and 20 live audio recordings at Philadelphia’s Franklin Music Hall. This special release is a nod to one of Green Day’s most significant triumphs in rock.

Green Day is an undeniable force in music. With four Grammys, three AMAs, two Brits, and many other awards under the band’s belt, no one can deny Green Day’s influence. Its high-energy hits, stripped-down ballads, and garage-band-inspired tracks revolutionized punk.

Live reviews

My first experience with a Green Day concert was one of the greatest at Woodstock 99. That experience has stuck with me ever since then, as has my desire to see Green Day perform any time I get the chance.

The first thing I can say about the Green Day concert experience is all about the crowd, as they are always a very rowdy, but very fun crowd! A bit crazy, a bit intoxicated, a bit of everything, and a whole lot of fun! By the time I actually get into the stadium and am waiting for the show to start, I already feel that I've had greatest time already and just can't wait for the insanity to kick in. For me personally, if Im not down in the middle of it all, in the pit, being able to jump around, crowd surf, exert some energy and really feel the music, it just wouldn't be a Green Day show.

Their stage presence is intense and Billie Joe Armstrong really draws the insanity out of the crowd, encouraging the mosh, encouraging all-out fun. He runs around all over stage, having as much fun performing as the crowd is watching them. It's truly a sight to see and a show that I have always been excited to go to and look forward to every time. The sound and light show can be overpowering at times, but that is mostly a good thing, as it just fuels the crowd and creates even more energy and excitement. By the end of the show, it's obvious that everyone has had so much fun, is tired and sweaty, while at the same time still bubbling over with energy and excitement.

It is indeed an experience to be had, and if you are a Green Day fan at all, then you deserve to have this experience at least once!!

The concert was really great! The Support act played at 7 pm to 7.30 pm. Half an hour later, green day started to Play. They Played for 2 and a half hours. The First Song they played was Bang Bang. They played a Lot of Songs (New and older ones). While they played "revolution radio", they had pyro, like big flames. They also had exploding things, where flames,lights and loud noises came. This was definitely great. They also had on the end a vergessen big amount of confetti comming down. While they were on stage , they let 3 people on stage. 2 were allowed to sing with them and one could Play the gituare with them. Billie said at the end, that the girl playing the gituare could keep it.

Another cool thing was, that they had water "guns". I was in the second row and billie really got me and all the other people near me wet. In between the concert they also played Songs like "Hey Jude" by the beatles. At the end they played 3 last Songs: American Idiot; Jesus of suburbia; ordinary World. They whole concert was really great and I would say it was the best concert I've ever been to.

Unless you want to be an American Idiot, I would thoroughly recommend going to see the incredible rock legends that are Green Day, perform live. The alternative rock band have been making waves recently by taking the stage at a number of high profile festivals. Each time the band make their way on to another festival stage, always as headliners (obviously), the crowd go absolutely wild. Green Day always produce a crazy crowd, they wouldn’t be indie rock legends if they didn’t, and the crowds they muster up are always undoubtedly fun. Green Day have a number of hits, from iconic classics such as ‘American Idiot’ to slower tunes such as ‘Boulevard of Broken Dreams’ . And they played them all. The energy and passion that the band brought on to stage was phenomenal, with Billie Joe Armstrong drawing out the crowd’s madness and encouraging each and every mosh pit that the music hungry crowd were all too excited to form. Armstrong’s vocals were on point and the band proved themselves to be the talented musicians we all remembered them to be.

One of the worst kept secrets of recent festival years was the spiritual return to Reading Festival by the almighty punk rock band Green Day. The 'American Idiot' hitmakers had been rumoured to be taking to the NME stage from the offset of the event and as promised they arrive at 12pm on Saturday to perform to a packed out field as the majority of the site flocks towards the big top.

Playing four tracks from the iconic 'Dookie' this really was a great show that could have headlined the main stage with ease. As opposed to other 'surprise' artists who come and play acoustic sets of their B sides from 1992 to 1995, Green Day were here to enthuse the crowds and delight with the hits. Whether you were inside or outside of the tent, everybody sang along at deafening volumes to 'Know Your Enemy' and 'American Idiot' as the band charged around the stage and into the lucky front row. It may not have been a well guarded secret but something makes me think Billie Joe Armstrong and co wanted the biggest crowd available and damn they got it.

Green Day is the type of band that makes you either want to go overthrow the government or go find the love of your life and everything in-between. Every song has its own unique story that touches the hearts of everyone in the audience. Despite all the hatred and fear and walls that divide us in this country right now, Green Day allowed for a brief moment of tranquility and release of political tension that I think everyone needs right now. You can just forget about your problems for a while and live in the moment. The lyrics are so empowering and inspiring. Billie Joe makes everyone feel accepted. He provides a safe haven for the oddballs, weirdos, and those who don't "fit in". You can be whatever you want, love whomever you want, and just be yourself and have fun and not feel judged. Mike Dirnt is a phenomenal bassist and Tré Cool is a complete badass on drums. Seeing them in concert was surreal. The ear ringing afterwards is totally worth it. If you get the chance to see Green Day in concert, do it. You won't regret it.

My first Green Day experiences date back to high school, I was 15-16 and it was like ‘93-‘94 before Dookie even came to be. I would see this punk band from the Bay Area perform in some local pizza place in Bakersfield, California called Jerry’s Pizza. From then on I was in love. Like IN LOVE! I loved the bands music! Their sound was something that just got me and to this day Who Wrote Holden Caulfield? is my most favorite Green Day song still. I take a lot of pride in saying I was part of the small percentage of people who loved their music before the entire world knew who they were. They are badass, Hands down! AND I’m thankful BJ had a sweet wife and family to help him when he needed it most and that he is still breathing and that he is here to give us more music with his fellow brothers of the band.

Back in 1994, I wouldn't have dreamed that Green Day would one day become a rock and roll institution, displaying an energy and repertoire that kept the multi-generational crowd on its feet for nearly 3 hours. Complete with impressive pyrotechnics and a well-polished knack for inviting fans onto stage, these guys put on an impressive show.

Though the show at times teetered on getting bogged down in call and response, my 12 year old son left the venue as hyped up about Green Day as my 45 year old self recollects my 19 year old self having been. Since those good old days, the guys of Green Day have gone from thrashing a few chords to reveling in surprisingly complex musicianship.

I'd gladly go again, and I appreciated Billy Joe and the boys for leaving it all onstage.

I went to Green Day concert in Mannheim at 18th of January and I feel the need to write this as a duty! I've been a true concert girl in my whole life, traveled the world for the love of music; I've been to stadiums to see the superstars as well as dark bars to listen to not much known quality music. I listen to from heavy metal to jazz and classics. And I've never seen a concert so interactive and energetic in my experiences! Now I'm full of light and joy! Light gives the hope to fight the dark, joy in my heart sends away the devils in my tired mind! After a long tiring period, I feel ALIVE again! Whatever happens in this crazy world in these evil times, I'm happy and I enjoy it. Thank you Green Day. Let there be light, let there be music in our souls!

This was my first concert in the Pit, and it was the best night of my life. I got really hyped when I saw how close I was to the stage, and I met some pretty cool people there. When Green Day came out, I actually started crying. I was standing only a couple feet away from the band at points, and I know it was a night I'm never going to forget. I think what made Green Day different that most concerts was how they called so many people on stage and gave away so much stuff. Some people got to go on stage and sing lyrics, or play guitar, and actually got to meet the band members and I honestly thought it was so amazing because they made someone else have the best night of their life. This concert was hands down 10/10, in fact, it broke the scale.

It's been 9 years since Green Day made an appearance in Northern Ireland.

Boy did they make up for it

Rancid, Green Day's tour buddies. Started the show off with high adrenaline. So much so that a mosh pit itself began to form at the front of the stage. I was slap bang in the middle of it.

This high adrenaline show meant that when Green Day started the crowd was already pumped and ready. And they delivered on the he action packed, high octane poreformance everyone wanted. I would easily call this the best night of my life without question. It was a phemomonal performance from both Green Day and Rancid and I wold seriously recommended that,if they're coming to somewhere near you. You get tickets ASAP.
