Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong said they’re “really, truly grateful” to everyone who made this success possible in a statement to Official Charts.
“We’re so excited about our future, about our album Saviors, and just want to thank all the fans everywhere; the most important people to us! Fans, friends, family, whatever you want to call it. It’s been an amazing run for us so far, for decades, and we love you all,” said Armstrong.
Green Day dropped Saviors on January 19, and they’re planning to promote it with a tour across North America and Europe this spring and summer. In addition to Saviors, they’ll perform their classic albums Dookie and American Idiot in their entirety during this tour.

Released in 1994, Dookie is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. It is an album that put Green Day on the map and is often considered one of the greatest records in punk music. The record features songs like “Basket Case”, “Longview”, and “When I Come Around”.
American Idiot, on the other hand, turned 20 in 2024. It was a hit among the critics and audience, becoming the band’s first release that topped the US Billboard 200. It contained hits like “American Idiot,” “Boulevard of Broken Dreams,” and “Wake Me Up When September Ends.”
Green Day will officially release Saviors, their 14th studio album, on January 19. The early reviews of the record are positive, while the band is billing it as the “best of everything that Green Day has.”
“Whether it’s something from Dookie or American Idiot, I think somehow we were able to bridge the gap in making something that is like an essential record for us,” Billie Joe Armstrong shared in a recent interview.

]]>Armstrong recently set down for an interview with The Guardian alongside his bandmates Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool. At one point, they were asked how they felt about the revival of 90s/00s punk and emo music in the last few years, and the Green Day frontman shared some interesting thoughts.
“I think streaming and the way things go viral now [is fuelling it]… Emo was dead – then just five years later we’re having emo club nights. Like, aren’t you supposed to wait another five years for this? My Chemical Romance just broke up!” joked Armstrong.
He singled out The Walters and Deftones as two bands whose emo-leaning music experienced a huge boom after their songs started showing up in TikTok videos. He added that there’s “this new algorithmic way of discovering new stuff”, where people are paying less attention to radio and other traditional platforms.
Green Day’s next album Saviors will be released on January 19, 2024, and it was preceded by singles “The American Dream Is Killing Me”, “Look Ma, No Brains!”, and “Dilemma”.
