 
 Green Day's production of American Idiot will get its UK première next year, it has been announced.
The musical, which has been a huge hit in Broadway after it's run earlier this year, will embark on a full UK tour next Autumn.
The production, inspired by the band's career, closed following over 400 performances at St James Theater in New York in April.
We're excited to be bringing the US stage production of American Idiot to the UK and Ireland," said Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong.  "We played to some of the most insane crowds when we toured the album there, and we can't wait for our friends across the pond to see the musical." 
The career-spanning set included 'Burnout', 'Holiday' and 'Murder City' from Green Day's recent album '21st Century Breakdown'. 
Tickets for the UK tour go on sale Friday (December 9) at 9am. For more details and to buy Green Day tickets, check out Gigwise Gig Tickets.
