The East Bay's Green Day, local heroes and punk titans, are adding a second tour to their 2017 plans, taking place four months after their springtime North American run with Against Me!.

The summer shows, called the Revolution Radio Summer Tour, sees the band only around the United States, accompanied by British alt-rock outfit Catfish and the Bottlemen. After playing their first tour stop in Washington on August 1, they'll play dates in California, Missouri, Ohio, Florida, Texas, among others.

Green Day will play a hometown concert at the Oakland Coliseum on August 5, 2017, as their springtime 2017 tour has them skipping over the Bay Area. Their last scheduled date in town was for the recent Live 105's Not So Silent Night concert in December.

The pop-punk outfit has had a busy few months. In October, they released their critically lauded "Revolution Radio," led by singles "Bang Bang" and "Still Breathing," and, in addition to the Live 105 event, played a surprise set at Oakland's 1-2-3-4 Go! Records, sharing a bill with lead guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong's son's band, SWMRS. The latter event benefitted the families of the victims of the Ghost Ship fire.

Armstrong has also been outspoken about the incoming President-elect, at least once comparing him to Hitler, and later leading a "No Trump!" chant during the band's performance at the American Music Awards in November.

Pre-sale tickets to the summer dates will be sold beginning Tuesday, January 10, at 10 a.m., before going on sale to the general public on Friday, January 13 at Ticketmaster.
