The next schedule venue in twenty-twelve is noted below. The opening act or supporting act will be A.F.I and set-list could vary throughout the Green Day tour stretch. The punk rock band from California is most known for their “American Idiot” album in 2004 which produce hits songs like “American Idiot”, “Boulevard of Broken Dreams”, “Holiday”, “Wake Me Up When September Ends” and “Jesus of Suburbia”. In recent Green Day news the band story “American Idiot” will hit the broadway theater stage in late 2010.[Source:Green Day's "American Idiot" hits Great White Way]
The story contains almost no spoken dialogue — instead, it’s told mostly through songs from “American Idiot” and its 2009 follow-up album, “21st Century Breakdown.” There’s a band onstage, and though the songs’ arrangements are fuller and richer as adapted for the theater, they retain the scrappy quality of the originals.
While the show tells the story of Johnny’s transition, it also represents the maturation of Green Day. When the band first broke out of the Bay Area with snotty three-chord punk in the early ’90s, the last place anyone would expect to see it would be on the Great White Way. But as “American Idiot” demonstrates, things rarely turn out the way you think they will.
