AMERICAN punk band Green Day are bringing their their explosive Broadway musical to Southampton.
American Idiot, will get its UK premiere at The Mayflower in 2012.
The story of three boyhood friends, each searching for meaning in a post September 11 world, comes to the city for a four day run between October 9-13, before touring around the UK and Ireland.
The musical features music from the band's 2004 album of the same name, as well as several tracks songs from 2009's “21st Century Breakdown”.
"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."
Tickets go on sale 10am, Friday December 9.
