About Green Day

Green Day formed in 1989 and released their first albums, 39/Smooth’ in 1990 and Kerplunk’ in 1992. The albums and touring brought attention to the band and they signed with a major label and began work on their next album, Dookie.’ Dookie’ became a huge success featuring several number one hits including Longview, Basket Case, and When I Come Around. It also won a Grammy Award. The next three albums were only moderately successful, but in 2004, they released American Idiot’ and again went to the top of the charts. American Idiot’ was a punk rock concept album with a narrative story running through the entire album. It won multiple awards including the Grammy for Best Rock Album and ignited worldwide touring and attention. In 2009, they released the album, 21st Century Breakdown’ and toured throughout 2009 and 2010.

In 2006, the band released the single The Saints Are Coming with U2 to benefit musicians hurt during Hurricane Katrina, and in 2007, released the single Working Class Hero to benefit Amnesty International's work in Sudan.

In 2009, the album American Idiot’ was adapted into a Broadway stage format and opened to good reviews in March 2010.
