Green Day surprised fans with an intimate club show last night in Las Vegas, as a warmup for their appearance at this weekend’s When We Were Young Festival. In addition to playing Dookie in its entirety, the band debuted “The American Dream is Killing Me”, a new song they’ve been teasing for weeks now.
Billie Joe Armstrong introduced the song as “the first song off our new album”. It will be released as a single Tuesday, October 24th. Check out a video of Green Day playing “The American Dream is Killing Me” live at Fremont Country Club below and pre-save the single here.
Before leaving Sin City, Green Day will co-headline When We Were Young Fest 2023 alongside Blink-182, who also released their new album One More Time today. A few of the many bands playing the two-day Las Vegas festival include MxPx, Sum 41, The Offspring, and New Found Glory. Go here for more details.
Green Day’s next album will be their 14th, following 2020’s critically acclaimed (totally serious, not sarcasm) Father of All Motherfuckers. They have also teased plans for a tour with Rancid, the Smashing Pumpkins, and the Linda Lindas. Stay tuned for more details on all that fun stuff.
