Green Day Announce North American Tour Dates For Late 2012 and Early 2013

Green Day have announced the first round of tour dates to support their series of three albums Uno! Dos! and Tre! to be released over the next four months. The shows begin with a series of seven smaller auditorium concerts on the west coast in November and December. Then the tour resumes in January at larger venues. The group's lead vocalist Billie Joel Armstrong says, "The whole process and the cycle is all about chaos...It's all about shooting from every single direction we possibly can. There's no format to what we do. There's no rules. And it's just a big breath of rock-and-roll fresh air." "Oh Love," the first single from the Uno! album is a #1 rock hit.
