Green Day to Celebrate 20th Anniversary of “American Idiot” with Extended Version, Documentary and More

The band's seventh album marked their career comeback and earned them their first seven Grammy nominations

Green Day is celebrating a huge milestone!

To honor the 20th anniversary of their revolutionary punk album, American Idiot, the band is releasing a deluxe edition of the record that includes unearthed demos and live performances, they announced on Friday, Aug. 9.

When the LP was first released in 2004, it marked a comeback for the rock group — following middling sales for their previous record Warning in 2000. American Idiot shot Green Day back into the mainstream, spawning several career-defining hits including “Boulevard of Broken Dreams,” “Holiday” and the album’s title track, and it garnered them their first seven Grammy nominations.

“In the summer of 2004, Green Day entered the studio with Rob Cavallo to create American Idiot, uncertain of what the future held,” the trio wrote on Instagram in their announcement of the upcoming release. “American Idiot was crafted as a response to the daily bombardment of media that spreads it far and wide, making us desensitized and weary - filled with themes that still ring true today, even 20 years later.”

The anniversary release, which is out on Oct. 25, includes several different box sets, complete with new vinyls or CDs that include previously unreleased demos of fan-favorite tracks, as well as live recordings from a 2004 Green Day concert at Irving Plaza in New York City.

In addition to the new records, the release comes with a 110-minute documentary, 20 Years of American Idiot, which features new interviews with members of the band and archival footage of old performances.

While the latest announcement by the band remembers a past release, Green Day has not slowed down with new original music — releasing their 14th studio album Savior in January. Since May, the punk group has been on tour throughout Europe and North America to promote the album.

Along the way, lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong even had time to stop by another concert sensation — seeing Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour when the 34-year-old singer played for a crowd in Lyon, France.

“Just saw Taylor Swift eras tour in Lyon France 🇫🇷!!” Armstrong wrote in an Instagram caption after the show. “Great production. Great voice. Great entertainer. Great songwriting. Crazy crowd.”

American Idiot (20th Anniversary) Deluxe Edition will be released on Oct. 25.
