Green Day have announced plans to celebrate 20 years of their landmark seventh studio album.
The California pop-punk veterans will mark the milestone with the release of an extensive deluxe 20th anniversary edition of 'American Idiot' on October 25.
The trio will drop "limited edition super deluxe box sets" available in 8LP and 4CD formats, featuring the original tracklist, various unreleased songs and two Blu-ray discs, comprising the film Heart Like A Hand Grenade, footage from BBC: Top Of The Pops and Later With Jools Holland, and a new, 110-minute documentary titled 20 Years Of American Idiot.
The package also comes with a 36-page book, a large Green Day flag, and the American Idiot red tie. The CD box set, meanwhile, contains a 48-page book, enamel pin set, sticker sheet, and cloth patch. There will also be a limited colour vinyl edition of the original 2LP version of the album.
To coincide with the announcement, Green Day have shared three track from the collections, a previously unreleased demo of Holiday/Boulevard Of Broken Dreams, the b-side Favorite Son, and a live recording of Minority (live From Irving Plaza). Press play below.
Originally released in 2004, The Tony and Grammy Award-winning 'American Idiot' spawned the singles Boulevard Of Broken Dreams, Holiday, Wake Me Up When September Ends, Jesus Of Suburbia, and American Idiot. It also went on to inspire a Broadway musical of the same name.
Green Day released their most recent album, 'Saviors', back in January. They're currently touring North America in support of the record, while simultaneously celebrating the respective anniversaries of 1994's 'Dookie' and 2004's 'American Idiot'. The trek continues with a show in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania tonight (August 9), with dates continuing through September 28.
