Reading + Leeds 2012, Green Day

Get ready for a very special surprise appearance from Green Day, who defined a new era of punk pop with their ground-breaking album Dookie.

Since then the band have gone on to record 5 more albums and win an equal amount of Grammy awards. The release of their rock opera, American Idiot, in 2004 and chart topping tracks including Boulevard of Broken Dreams and Holiday have opened up the trademark aggressive riffs and politicized anthems to a whole new generation.

Next on the agenda for Billie Joe, Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool is a trilogy of albums, their first work since 2009. Starting in September with ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, and ¡Tré! will follow in November and January respectively. It's time to get reacquainted with one of the biggest bands in the world.
