99 Revolutions Tour

2013 concert tour by Green Day

99 Revolutions Tour was a concert tour by American rock band Green Day in support of the band's trilogy, ¡Uno!, ¡Dos! and ¡Tré!, that took place in 2013. The tour was named after the song "99 Revolutions" from ¡Tré!.

Before the announcement of the trilogy, the band had been playing "secret shows", revealing previously unheard songs. The first of these shows was on August 11 at the Tiki Bar ^[1] in Costa Mesa, California.^[2] After the announcement of the trilogy, the band began performing promotional shows leading up to the tour which kicked off on March 10, 2013, at Pomona, California's Pomona Fox Theater. In 2014 following the 99 Revolutions Tour, Green Day headlined the Soundwave Festival Tour 2014 in Australia.

The tour was the first time Green Day had ever performed their 1994 album Dookie in its entirety. This was done for five shows towards the end of the tour to celebrate the album's 20th anniversary. This tour is also notable for having the band's first major live shows since its release not to end the show with a performance of "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)". Rather substituting it for "Brutal Love", the opening rock ballad track that is also featured on ¡Tré!.
