Green DayAs expected, Green Day will hit the road in early July for a full-fledged North American tour – the band’s first in three years – in support of their new album, “21st Century Breakdown.”

The chart-topping rockers have announced 38 dates for the summer trek, which kicks off July 3 in Seattle and runs through Aug. 25 in Los Angeles.

In between are seven Canadian stops: Vancouver (July 4), Edmonton (July 6), Saskatoon (July 7), Winnipeg (July 9), Hamilton, Ont. (July 16), Ottawa (July 17) and Montreal (July 18).

Venues have yet to be announced.

“Breakdown,” the follow-up to 2004’s Grammy award-winning “American Idiot,” will hit stores shelves on May 15. The first single, “Know Your Enemy,” was released to radio last week.

Earlier this month, the trio played a handful of small club shows in California in anticipation of the new album, and will mark its release with another intimate show at New York’s Bowery Ballroom on May 18.
