Green Day played the last 2 shows of their 21st Century Breakdown UK arena tour, finishing with the 2nd of 2 nights in Manchester on Halloween night, and finally a 3rd performance in London, this time at Wembley Arena.

It was also announced that Green Day would be back to play their biggest show to date, at Wembley Stadium the following summer.
