Green Day, Smashing Pumpkins, Rancid, and The Linda Lindas in Concert at PNC Park (Sun., 9/1/24)
Green Day, the multi-platinum-selling, Grammy-award-winning, stage-musical-spawning, Californian punk rockers, play at PNC Park in support of their new album Saviors. It’s not often that a group’s career highs are 10 years apart, but such was the case for Green Day, who wowed Generation X with 1994’s Dookie and then Millennials with 2004’s American Idiot, the latter of which inspired a Broadway musical. Pop-punk heirs Fall Out Boy inducted Green Day into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2015, the trio’s first year of eligibility. Saviors is their 14th studio album but on the current tour they also promise to play Dookie and American Idiot in full. The concert itself should be quite full, as special guests include The Smashing Pumpkins. Best known for the vocals of frontman Billy Corgan and songs like “1979” and “Bullet with Butterfly Wings,” the Chicago-bred alt rockers have a new album of their own: Aghori Mhori Mei, released digitally just recently. Rounding out the bill are Rancid and The Linda Lindas. Musical medleys and rock revels commence at 5:30 p.m. 115 Federal St., North Side. (C.M., M.V.)
