Green Day To Kick Off 2017 Tour in Phoenix

For the first time since 2013, Green Day will play another concert in the Valley, the band announced today.

The band is scheduled to play Talking Stick Resort Arena on March 1. Against Me! will open.

Green Day just released Revolution Radio on Friday, October 6. It is the band's 12th studio album. 

The last time the band played Arizona, the crowd apparently made an impression on singer Billie Joe Armstrong.

"You guys sure are better than Los Angeles," he said. 

Tickets go on sale Friday, October 14, via Ticketmaster.
