Green Day recently announced some more details about their upcoming "The Saviors Tour."

At each stop of the tour, including Sept. 18 at Chase Field in downtown Phoenix, the band will play their seminal albums "Dookie" and "American Idiot" in their entirety.

“What a fuckin’ moment it’s going to be,” Green Day bassist Mike Dirnt told Rolling Stone in a recent interview. “We’ve never done anything like this before. And there’s a really good chance we’ll never do it again.”

"Dookie" is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, while "American Idiot" is marking 20 years.

Music website Consequence notes that Green Day has played "Dookie" in full "on a special few occasions over the years, but never so on a full-fledged tour. They’ve also never before played 'American Idiot' in its entirety in concert."

Green Day's Sept. 18 show at Chase Field includes opening sets by Smashing Pumpkins, Rancid and The Linda Lindas.

Standard tickets ranging from $41.50 to $191.50 are still available, as are VIP and other packages. You can view your options here.
