“We talked about how we weren’t really wanting to do stadiums and do something that was like throwback to the Monsters of Rock Tour,” Green Day frontman Billie Joe Amstrong told Zane Lowe on Beats 1. “There was, of course, Fall Out Boy and Weezer and now we’re stoked.”
“I remember, in the 1990s, there was this one summer, and Guns N’ Roses [and] Metallica went on the stadium tour and my parents didn’t let me go to it,” Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz added. “And I feel trapped in that forever and we wanted to recreate that memory.”
In April, Green Day announced that they will release a graphic novel based on “Last of the American Girls” from their 2009 album 21st Century Breakdown on October 29.
