There will also be other special guests who have yet to be announced.

In further Green Day festival news, Steven from the Product Youth fanzine contacted Punktastic regarding the Nottingham festival the band are headlining on July 20.
He said: “We asked Rock City if it was going to be the pop disaster tour, and we recieved an email saying:
“It is not that festival, it is a totally different one and we are waiting for other acts to confirm. Green Day are playing other dates around the country but I’m afraid I don’t know when and where they are.”
