Green Day have added a date in Sheffield to their upcoming tour of the UK. The show is set to take place on June 3 at Sheffield Arena and will follow their headlining date at the British Summertime fest in London’s Hyde Park. “You know it’s great, we’re playing songs off ‘Nimrod’, ‘Kerplunk’, the new record, ‘American Idiot’, songs that are off ‘Insomniac’ that we haven’t played in over 20 years,” frontman Billie Joe Armstrong told NME.com about what to expect from tour. “We played these shows for the hardcore fans in the theatres and clubs and we just had a blast, and you could tell because the energy in the crowd was energising us.” He added: “They expect us to be great, and we have to live up to that. We just put as much passion as we can into what we do. We write the record together, we make the record together, and it’s our record at the point. When it’s finished, on the day it gets released, it doesn’t belong to us any more. It belongs to the fans.” Copyright(c) 2017 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
