Green Day have confirmed that they will be performing “Dookie” and “American Idiot” in full during their previously announced world tour. The trek will also include tracks from their new album “Saviors” (out January 19) and more.

Bassist Mike Dirnt told Rolling Stone the following:

“What a fuckin’ moment it’s going to be. We’ve never done anything like this before. And there’s a really good chance we’ll never do it again.”

He went on to say that it will take about about 90 minutes to run through both albums:

“We’ll then have about 35 to 45 minutes to throw down on other stuff. And production-wise, doing these albums lends itself to some amazing possibilities.”

He also revealed that they are still deciding on a setlist order:

“We still need to put our heads down and do real work to figure that out. Before every tour, we do a lot of preproduction, a lot of thinking about how it should look and feel and sound, because it really matters to us. That’s the fun, but it also really keeps us on our toes.

When you play a song like ‘She,’ ‘Basket Case,’ or ‘Welcome to Paradise’ live, it’s a whole different energy. It completes a circuit. There’s this energy that happens with the crowd and you. We love playing those songs. It’s as exciting to us as playing new songs live.”
