the same error with this pattern SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE, dd MMM yyyy kk:mm:ss z"); – user1373316 Jun 16 '14 at 21:09
set `Locale` explicitly then like `new SimpleDateFormat("EEE, dd MMM yyyy kk:mm:ss z", Locale.EN_US)` – jmj Jun 16 '14 at 21:14

KK (00-11) format use like 00, 01,..11. whereas kk (01-24) format use like 01, 02..24.
and for GMT use z instead of zzz

So try below format as dateformat

EEE, dd MMM yyyy kk:mm:ss z
