Billboard: Tour starts in July

Feb. 14, 2009 / Comments

To continue with this near daily trend of a major music network reviewing the first part of the album, Billboard has posted their review, "Green Day Roars Back With 'Breakdown'".

In addition to their short review, they add

Green Day will begin a North American arena tour in early July, to be followed by shows in Europe. The band will hit Japan, Southeast Asia and South America before returning for more North American shows in 2010.

Those of you worried that Green Day won't be playing in your country, just sit tight. This looks like a simple outline, and we'll have to wait till official dates are announced for each leg of the tour. That said, I'm pretty damn excited about this. Time to start saving the pennies.
