GREEN DAY have cancelled their upcoming Moscow show in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. 

 
Posting in a now-expired Instagram story, the band wrote, "With heavy hearts, in light of current events we feel it is necessary to cancel our upcoming show in Moscow at Spartak Stadium. We are aware that this moment is not about stadium rock shows, it’s so much bigger than that. But we also know that rock and roll is forever and we feel confident there will be a time and a place for us to return in the future. Refunds available at the point of purchase. Stay safe."
 
GREEN DAY were scheduled to play at Moscow's Spartak Stadium – previously a host to bands like Guns N' Roses, Depeche Mode and the Red Hot Chili Peppers –  on May 29, ahead of the European leg of the band's twice-postponed Hella Mega tour with Fall Out Boy and Weezer.
