Green Day Celebrate Anniversaries of ‘Dookie’ and ‘American Idiot’ at Geodis Park Tonight, Aug. 30 with The Smashing Pumpkins, Rancid, The Linda Lindas

Formed in the late ’80s in the Bay Area of California while still just teens, seminal punk and pop punk trio Green Day exploded into the cultural zeitgeist with their 1994 third album and major label debut, Dookie. Helping usher in and then subsequently influence a new wave of mainstream interest in punk rock, Green Day became one of the most beloved and successful rock acts of the ’90s, touring the world, selling millions of albums, appearing at major fests, dominating radio and MTV airplay, and winning major awards. Ten years and four albums after their now-classic Dookie, just as it seemed that the pop punk baton might be handed off to a new wave of popular bands of the ’00s like Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance, Green Day proved as relevant, enduring, and more popular than ever with 2004’s fiery, politically-charged, ambitious punk rock opera American Idiot, an album which again skyrocketed them to cultural ubiquity, earned the band renewed commercial and critical milestones, cemented their status as one of punk’s greatest acts of all time, and even was later adapted into a Tony winning Broadway musical.

In the 20 years since (yes, fellow emo kid millennials, 2004 was nearly twenty years ago) Green Day have remained massively popular, continuing to tour, headline festivals, and release new music- though nothing has quite reached the cultural zeitgeist-y heights of Dookie or American Idiot. Following their last effort, 2020’s Father of All Motherfuckers, the band returned at the start of the year with their 14th LP, Saviors, re-teaming them with producer Rob Cavallo, who previously helmed some of the band’s best work, such as the aforementioned two biggest classics, resulting in perhaps their most inspired, punk-spirited record in years. In support of that album, as well as in celebration of Dookie’s 30th anniversary and American Idiot‘s 20th, Green Day are currently in the midst of an extensive world tour, which returns the trio to Nashville for the first time in 15 years to headline Geodis Park tonight, Aug. 30, with an incredibly stacked lineup of alt rock legends The Smashing Pumpkins, fellow famed punk rockers Rancid, and young up and coming power pop and punk outfit The Linda Lindas!

What has been one of our most-anticipated events of 2024 since it announced late last year, tickets to The Saviors Tour are right here for a variety of sections and price points. This is an absolute must-see event for pop punk fans, and a rare chance to see Green Day play two of their generation-defining records in full. Don’t miss out!

Green Day, The Smashing Pumpkins, Rancid, and the Linda Lindas will perform today, Aug. 30 at Geodis Park. The show is all ages, begins at 5:30 p.m. (doors at 4:00 p.m.), and tickets are available for $72.35-268.45.
