Iconic punk rock band Green Day is set to make their South African debut in January 2025 as headliners of Calabash South Africa 2025. The band will perform two shows: January 19th at Johannesburg’s FNB Stadium and January 23rd at Cape Town’s DHL Stadium.
This highly anticipated event marks a significant milestone for both Green Day and their South African fans, who have long awaited the opportunity to see the band perform live. Green Day, known for their energetic performances and socially charged lyrics, has garnered a massive following worldwide with hits like “Basket Case” and “American Idiot.”
Joining Green Day on stage are fellow punk rock legends The Offspring, known for their infectious energy and hits like “Self Esteem” and “Pretty Fly (for a White Guy).” Adding a local flavor to the lineup is South Africa’s own Fokofpolisiekar, a beloved Afrikaans rock band with a dedicated following.
Calabash South Africa 2025 promises to be an unforgettable experience, building on the success of the previous year’s festival. Big Concerts, the event organizer, is proud to host Green Day’s debut, highlighting the band’s global acclaim and the festival’s growing prestige.
Tickets for the Johannesburg show start at R1,200 and are available through Ticketmaster South Africa. Tickets for the Cape Town concert start at R1,150. Fans are urged to purchase tickets only from authorized sellers.
Green Day’s South African shows are part of their global “Saviors Tour,” celebrating their 14th studio album, “Saviors.” The album has been praised by critics, with Rolling Stone describing it as “huge songs and snotty satire for a world on fire.”
Local fans have expressed their excitement about the upcoming concerts. Thabo Mokoena, a long-time Green Day fan, shared, “I’ve waited years for this. Seeing Green Day live in South Africa is a dream come true.”
Calabash South Africa 2025 is more than just a music festival; it’s a cultural event that brings together diverse audiences. With a lineup featuring Green Day, The Offspring, and Fokofpolisiekar, attendees can expect a high-energy experience and lasting memories.
Fans are encouraged to secure their tickets early and prepare for a musical experience that promises to be both historic and exhilarating. Calabash South Africa 2025 is set to be a highlight of the South African entertainment calendar, marking a new chapter in the country’s live music scene.
