ABOUT GREEN DAY
Founded in 1986 in Berkeley, CaliforniaGreen Day is one of the most successful bands of all time, with more than 75 million records sold worldwide and 10 billion audio/video streams. The five-time Grammy award-winning members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame released their breakthrough album Dookie in 1994, which sold over 10 million copies and achieved 10x platinum diamond status. It is widely credited with popularizing and reviving mainstream interest in punk rock and catapulted a career-long string of No. 1 hit singles. Entertainment Weekly calls Green Day “the most influential band of their generation,” while Rolling Stone attests, “Green Day have inspired more young bands to start a band than any other band this side of Kiss, and that doesn’t seem to be changing.” In 2004, Green Day released the rock opera American Idiot, which captured the nation’s attention, selling over 9 million copies in the U.S. alone and taking home the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album. Mojo stated, “It’s exciting stuff, the kind of record that sets new standards for what’s possible from a punk rock ‘n’ roll band in the 21st century.” In 2010, a stage adaptation of American Idiot debuted on Broadway to critical and commercial acclaim. Green Day’s thirteenth studio album, Father Of All…, released in 2020, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Album Sales chart and at No. 1 in both the UK and US. AustraliaPitchfork declared: “Green Day’s most gripping and youthful songs in a long time. The trio sounds reinvigorated, more like hungry newcomers staking their claim.” In July 2021Green Day started their Hella Mega Tour (with Fall Out Boy & Weezer). The world tour included 29 sold-out stadium concerts – including renowned venues such as the London Stadium and Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium. On 19 January’24, the band released their highly anticipated 14th studio album, Saviors, which includes the hit singles “The American Dream Is Killing Me,” which reached No. 1 on Billboard Rock & Alternative Airplay, and “Dilemma.” The album debuted at No. 1 on seven different Billboard charts and was their fifth No. 1 in the UK. Saviors received widespread praise from critics, with Rolling Stone describing it as “great songs and snotty satire for a world on fire,” while The New York Times praised it as “a determined, even over-determined return to form.” The New Yorker summed it up best with “This is Green Day’s world now.” Green Day are currently on their major global stadium tour – the Saviors Tour – where they play Dookie and American Idiot in full, along with other Saviors tunes and fan favorites. The tour ends on 28 September at Petco Park in San Diego.
