Green Day invites acclaimed German punkrockers DONOTS to support 3 tourdates

March 2010 saw the release of the highly acclaimed, brand new studio album „The Long Way Home“ by legendary German Punkrockers DONOTS. The album combines catchy punkrock songwriting, melancholic 80s wave influences and folk elements in singles such as „Calling“ or „Forever Ends Today“.

The band released the album on their DIY indie label SOLITARY MAN RECORDS and has just finished the first headlining club tour in support of the record which hit the German Album Charts at #24 as highest new entry.

Last week GREEN DAY invited the DONOTS to join them on their 3 stadium dates in Germany alongside RISE AGAINST and JOAN JETT AND THE BLACK HEARTS.

Says the band: „What gives? We are super stoked that Green Day have invited us to be their support on all 3 upcoming shows in Germany! We got confirmed for Hannover, Munich and Mainz the other day and are more than grateful for the opportunity to open up for a band that has been an inspiration for us especially in our early days. We used to work at a youth club in our hometown Ibbenbüren back in the 90s where Green Day played a post-Kerplunk show. Barely more than 140 people attended that very intimate show. The Donots were completely blown away by the energy, the songs and the attitude. It’s safe to say that night had a huge impact on our sound and songwriting. 16 years later we get to play stadiums with Green Day and once again we are absolutely thrilled!“

The relentless touring machine will release their all new album „The Long Way Home“ in Japan this month and are set to license the record to other international territories later this year.
