Green Day have just announced that they'll headline the 2012 Voodoo Festival in New Orleans, which will take place in October. Their appearance at Voodoo is their first scheduled date of the year, coming right after they'll release ¡Uno!, their first album in a trilogy they plan to release by 2013.

The rest of the 2012 Voodoo Festival lineup will be released soon, but you can check TheVoodooExperience.com for tickets and details.
