2025 is almost over along with the Saviors era. This has been a busy year for Green Day. Looking back on the highlights...

Green Day played South Africa for the first time



In January, Green Day played in Johannesburg and Cape Town. This wasn't just the first time they played South Africa, but the first time they played anywhere on the African continent!



Green Day played in the Arab world for the first time



On January 27th, Green Day played in Dubai, UAE - their first ever show in the Arab world!



Green Day played Macau for the first time



On February 9th, Green Day played in Macau for the first time.



Green Day returned to Indonesia after 29 years



Until this year, the last time Green Day played in Indonesia was in 1996. But on another searing hot Jakarta day on February 15th, they finally returned. A highlight of the setlist was Forever Now.



Green Day played Malaysia for the first time



It was raining so heavily that everyone left the stadium twice as heavy. The support act were kicked off the bill at the last minute. There was a long silence in place of their set. Thunder was rumbling and lightning flashed the whole time. Despite fears that the show would be cancelled, it went ahead. It was Green Day's first show in Malaysia. Because of the rain, a fan couldn't get onstage to sing Know Your Enemy, so Billie Joe took the microphone down to the crowd.



Green Day played India for the first time



On March 9th, Green Day played in India for the first time ever.

"If someone had told that wide-eyed kid from 2005 that one day he'd stand here, not watching from behind a computer screen but singing along as Green Day tore up a Mumbai stage, he would've laughed in disbelief. But life, as it often does, had come full circle. Because on March 9th, 2025, in a sea of lights, voices, and memories, that kid’s dream finally came true. And in that moment, he truly had the time of his life." - Abir, India



New Years Rev was filmed



"Three buddies drive cross-country in a van, causing mayhem and mischief while racing to LA for their big break: opening for Green Day on New Year's Eve."

That's the description of New Years Rev, a film starring Green Day that was filmed this year. Some fans were lucky enough to star in a scene filmed at the Hollywood Palladium.



Green Day got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame



On May 1st, Green Day got their star on the Walk of Fame in Hollywood.

Green Day played Greece for the first time



On July 6th, Green Day played their long-awaited first show in Athens, Greece. This was one that the band had been waiting for too.



Green Day played Paraguay for the first time



2025 was a year of firsts! On September 15th, Green Day played in Asuncion, Paraguay for the first time ever.

Seeing the Coverups last January, what a treat!

Seeing the second show in Vienna ?
Definitely all the live shows I went to were a highlight. Getting 86, Waiting, Forever Now, I Was There. The anti-ICE chant during Holiday in Amsterdam was also a highlight, so cathartic. And meeting / seeing again so many great people I have met through this band.

I had two highlights: seeing my beloved band from the front row in Vienna (and hearing Forever Now at that occasion) and spending hours with @Cris. at a beautifully situated cafe in Luxembourg, talking about Green Day and the world…
Definitely a highlight for me too ? It was a really well spent afternoon with great company.

The concerts in Vienna. I mean we got 2 (two!!) solo Green Day shows. Doesn't happen that often that international bands play some extra shows here..

Watching recorded footage of Fancy Sauce live. It's one of the top Saviors songs I wanted to hear live and it was a treat to experience, even just secondhand.
