Green Day’s concert at Comerica Park in Detroit on Wednesday was briefly interrupted when the band was rushed off stage after a drone was spotted flying overhead.
Detroit police Cpl. Dan Donakowski told the Detroit News that the individual who flew the drone was located and detained.
Green Day was able to resume the concert after a 10-minute delay. In a social media post following the end of concert, the band said, “Stadium security had us clear the stage while they dealt with a potential safety issue. DPD quickly resolved the situation, and we were able to continue. Thanks for understanding.”
The Detroit concert was part of Green Day’s ongoing “Saviors Tour,” which coincides with the 30th anniversary of the band’s album Dookie and the 20th anniversary of American Idiot. The tour also features special guests Smashing Pumpkins, Rancid, and The Linda Lindas. Dates are scheduled through the end of September, and fans can pick up tickets here.
Billie Joe Armstrong and all of @GreenDay just ran off stage. Not sure what is happening here in Detroit… pic.twitter.com/kAD8Fr789g

The beginning of the American Idiot segment of the @GreenDay show in Detroit. A drone-flying moron may have interrupted our show and freaked people out a bit, but hearing this album in its entirety was the truly memorable part of the night. pic.twitter.com/rhy9y7qVDg
