Formed in 1986 in Berkeley, California, Green Day is one of the world’s best-selling bands of all time with more than 75 million records sold worldwide and 10 billion cumulative audio/visual streams. The five-time Grammy Award-winning Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees released their breakout album Dookie in 1994 which sold over 10 million copies and achieved 10x Platinum Diamond status. Dookie is widely credited with popularizing and reviving mainstream interest in punk rock, thus catapulting a career-long run of #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 than any act 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 more than 8 million copies in the U.S. alone and taking home the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album. In 2010, a stage adaptation of American Idiot debuted on Broadway to critical and commercial acclaim.
Released in 2020, Green Day’s thirteenth studio album Father of All… debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Album Sales Chart and #1 in both the U.K. and Australia. In July 2021, Green Day embarked on the Hella Mega Tour (w/ Fall Out Boy & Weezer). The global tour included 29 sold-out stadium gigs – including renowned venues like London Stadium and Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium.
On January 19, 2024, the band released their highly anticipated 14th studio album, Saviors, which includes hit singles “The American Dream Is Killing Me,” which reached #1 on Billboard Rock & Alternative Airplay, and “Dilemma.” The album debuted at #1 on seven different Billboard charts and marked their fifth #1 in the U.K. Saviors received widespread critical praise. The New Yorker summed it up best with “It’s Green Day’s world now.” In 2024, Green Day embarked on a sold-out global stadium tour – The Saviors Tour – where they played Dookie and American Idiot in their entirety, along with other Saviors cuts and fan favorites. The Saviors Tour came to a triumphant close as Green Day’s biggest tour of their illustrious 30+ year career.
Last but not least, the band just performed for over 200,000 people at this year’s Coachella, headlining both Saturday nights.
Green Day supports several charities, including Project Chimps and Altadena Girls Fire Recovery. The band performed at the January 30th FireAid benefit concert and participated in fundraising efforts. They are also the owners of Punk Bunny Coffee, whose proceeds benefit various non-profit organizations.
