Green Day have broken the record for attendance at the Emirates Stadium after selling 60,000 tickets for the show that took place on 1st June.

Artists such as Coldplay and Bruce Springsteen have previously sold out the venue but Green Day are the first band to take advantage of a new seating arrangement which means that there are more tickets available than ever before.

Lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong has only recently completed a stint in rehab and as such, this was the only UK date on their ’99 Revolutions tour.

The gig wasn’t a disappointment for UK fans however with the band completing an impressive 30-song set where they played all of their biggest hits such as American Idiot and Boulevard of Broken Dreams.

Green Day haven’t seen the last of the UK just yet as they will be returning to headline the Reading and Leeds festivals in August.
