On Instagram Sunday, the band posted a statement saying, “We are aware that this moment is not about stadium rock shows, it’s so much bigger than that.”
Green Day added, “There will be a time and a place for us to return in the future.”
The Moscow concert was scheduled to take place on May 29 as part of Green Day’s Hella Mega Tour.
