Despite the cancellation of a 'secret' show they were due to play in California this coming Friday, Green Day are set to head to the UK for a series of gigs later this year.
The arrangements for the 'secret' show were already under way, when permits needed for the show were denied by the Burbank authorities due to crowd control issues. The anticipated turnout was well into the thousands, and after monitoring the situation, fears were the number would dramatically swell and pose serious concern for safety of concert-goers once the location was made public.
Green Day are also currently in the studio recording three albums, a trilogy entitled ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, and ¡Tré!, the first of which will be released by Reprise Records in September prior to the commencement of a huge international tour, including 26 dates in Britain and Ireland.

- October 9th to 13th - Mayflower Theatre, Southampton
- November 3rd 2012 - Clyde Auditorium, Glasgow
- November 7th 2012 - Bord Gáis Energy Theatre, Dublin
- November 12th to 17th, 19th to 24th - Palace Theatre Manchester, Manchester
