Billie Joe Armstrong has just announced via his Instagram story that new side project The Longshot will be playing two shows in their home state of California. The gigs will be taking place in just under two weeks.

The first of the shows is scheduled for April 24th at The Wayfarer in Costa Mesa, with The Redwood Bar in LA set to host the second on April 26th. Tickets are available NOW - that is, if they haven't all gone already!
