About Green Day
Formed in 1986 in Berkeley, CA, Green Day (Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, Tré Cool) is one of the world’s best-selling bands of all time, with 14 studio albums released, more than 75 million records sold worldwide, and 22 billion cumulative streams.
The five-time GRAMMY® Award-winning Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees released their breakout album, “Dookie,” in 1994, which sold over 10 million copies and achieved 10x Platinum Diamond status, and is widely credited with popularizing and reviving mainstream interest in punk rock, catapulting a career-long run of No. 1 hit singles.
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.
On January 19, 2024, the band released their GRAMMY®-nominated 14th studio album, “Saviors,” which included hit singles “The American Dream Is Killing Me” and “Dilemma.” The album debuted at No. 1 on seven different Billboard charts and marked their fifth No. 1 in the UK.
In September 2025, after two years, 106 shows, 88 cities, 33 countries, and over 2.5 million tickets sold, Green Day wrapped their monumental, sold-out world tour — the biggest of their career — in support of “Saviors,” proving that 35 years in, the band is still at the top of their game.
