Green Day confirm first ever Malaysia show

Green Day have lined up their first ever concert in Malaysia.

The CAA-represented American rock band will bring their Saviors Tour to the National Hockey Stadium in Kuala Lumpur on 18 February 2025.

It follows the announcement of the group’s first-ever show in the Middle East, which is set to take place in Dubai at the 30,000-cap Expo City Dubai on 27 January.

The group, who are currently in the midst of a North American run, have also announced two concerts in South Africa – at FNB Stadium in Johannesburg (19 January) and DHL Stadium in Cape Town (23 January).

Malaysia also will host the likes of Bruno Mars, Imagine Dragons and Dua Lipa before the end of 2024

They will visit Carnaval Ancol in Jakarta, Indonesia on 15 February, finishing up the tour in Japan with stops at Osaka-Jo Hall (21 February), Port Messe Nagoya (23 February) and K Arena Yokohama (25-26 February).

Malaysia will also host the likes of Bruno Mars (17 September) at Kuala Lumpur National Stadium, Imagine Dragons at the National Hockey Stadium (21 November) and Dua Lipa at Axiata Arena (23-24 November).

Earlier this summer, the country’s Good Vibes Festival was cancelled out of respect for the coronation of the king. The festival has been due to return on 20 and 21 July, despite last year’s edition being cancelled after The 1975’s Matty Healy hit out at the country’s strict anti-LGBT laws and kissed a male bandmate on stage.

Organiser Future Sound Asia recently filed a lawsuit against the group and all its members individually, seeking £1.9 million ($2.4m) in compensation in the UK’s High Court over a violation of performance rules.
