Green Day have announced UK & European tour dates for next year.

The punk rock trio - who recently returned with their Bang Bang single, will play a short tour across Britain, including a date at The O2 London.

Talking to Radio X about their UK audience, drummer Tré Cool said: "The UK fans are probably the more crazy, radical. They're smart, fantastic. They're the reason they're called fanatics."

The American idiot piece will also support their upcoming Revolution Radio LP - which is set for release on 7 October 2016 - with European tour dates, detailed on their official website.

Tickets go on sale on Friday 9 September from 9am.
