Green Day is ready to rock.

Ahead of their headlining set at Las Vegas’ When We Were Young music festival this weekend, the pop-punk legends played a surprise show at the 800-capacity venue Fremont Country Club on Thursday. At the special show, fans captured footage of the trio announcing a massive 2024 tour and debuting a new song, in addition to playing their iconic 1994 debut album Dookie in full.

“Big announcement: We’re doing a big tour next year,” bandleader Billie Joe Armstrong told the audience at the club.

As the crowd erupted in cheers, the rock star, 51, revealed the fellow alternative acts who will be joining them on the tour. “It’s gonna be Green Day, Smashing Pumpkins, Rancid, The Linda Lindas,” he said.

While no details about specific dates or ticket information was revealed, the band did tease new music is also in store.

After announcing their upcoming concerts, the “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” singer was recorded introducing the next song in their set by calling it, “the first song off our new album.” The group — featuring Armstrong on vocals and guitar, bassist Mike Dirnt and drummer Tré Cool — then erupted in the stadium-ready punk track “The American Dream is Killing Me.”

The punk group reflected on the surprise club show — opened by the frontman’s 25-year-old son Jakob Armstrong’s group Ultra Q — on Instagram.

“Holy sh– 💩 We just played Dookie in full, thank you for that Las Vegas 🤘🏼,” they wrote in the caption of a shot of the exterior of Fremont Country Club.
