Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt will play two club shows in London in the coming weeks with their side-project covers band The Coverups.
The band, which also includes Green Day's touring guitarist Jason White and the band's tour manager Bill Schneider will play The Garage on February 27 and the 100 Club on March 1. Tickets went on sale this morning at 8am - the group declaring “Hello London! Come have fun with us!” on their social media posts - and unsurprisingly, are already sold-out.
On New Year's Eve, the group performed at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles, California, playing a 31-song set featuring songs by Ramones, Bryan Adams, Tom Petty, Nirvana, Kiss, The Strokes, The Clash and more, including a cover of The Pogues' If I Should Fall From Grace With God as a tribute to the late Shane MacGowan.
