Green Day

Green Day is an American punk rock band formed in 1987. The band consists of lead vocalist and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist and backing vocalist Mike Dirnt, drummer Tré Cool and guitarist and backing vocalist Jason White, who became a full member after playing in the band as a session and touring guitarist for 13 years. Cool replaced former drummer John Kiffmeyer in 1990, prior to the recording of the band's second studio album, Kerplunk (1992).
Green Day was originally part of the punk scene at the DIY 924 Gilman Street club in Berkeley, California. The band's early releases were from the independent record label Lookout! Records. In 1994, its major label debut Dookie released through Reprise Records became a breakout success and eventually sold over 10 million copies in the U.S. Green Day was widely credited, alongside fellow California punk bands Sublime, Bad Religion, The Offspring and Rancid, with popularizing and reviving mainstream interest in punk rock in the United States.
Green Day's three follow-up albums, Insomniac (1995), Nimrod (1997), and Warning (2000) did not achieve the massive success of Dookie, though they were still successful, with Insomniac and Nimrod reaching double platinum and Warning reaching gold status. The band's rock opera, American Idiot (2004), reignited the band's popularity with a younger generation, selling five million copies in the United States. The band's eighth studio album, 21st Century Breakdown, was released in 2009 which achieved the band's best chart performance to date. In 2012, 21st Century Breakdown was followed up by a trilogy of albums called ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, and ¡Tré! released on September, November and December 2012 respectively.
They are one of the world's best-selling groups of all time, having sold over 75 million albums worldwide. The group has won five Grammy Awards: Best Alternative Album for Dookie, Best Rock Album for American Idiot, Record of the Year for "Boulevard of Broken Dreams", Best Rock Album for the second time for 21st Century Breakdown and Best Musical Show Album for American Idiot: The Original Broadway Cast Recording. In 2010, a stage adaptation of American Idiot debuted on Broadway. The musical was nominated for several Tony Awards, including Best Musical and Best Scenic Design.

Green Day plan break after Soundwave 2014

Punk rockers Green Day are going on hiatus. But don't worry - we won't be seeing yet another festival cancellation. The headlining act for Soundwave 2014 will take a break after their trip down under.
"We're going to Australia, doing a tour there and then we're going to take a break," frontman Billie Joe Armstrong told BBC Radio 2.
“We haven't really been doing much. So it's just nice to kind of do some other things, y'know, when we get ready to do Green Day again, our batteries will be charged.”
The California group shot to mainstream fame with their 1994 album Dookie, which sold more than 10 million copies in the United States alone. They have since released eight successful albums, toured extensively, released a video game and even had their 2004 chart-topping album American Idiot adapted into an award-winning musical.

Last September, in possibly the most punk rock moment of their career, Armstrong appeared to have a meltdown on stage in Las Vegas. Thinking his set had been cut short, he launched into an expletive-laden tirade, smashed his guitar and stormed off stage.
Two days later, the band announced that a worn out Armstrong was receiving treatment for substance abuse (later revealed to be alcohol and pharmaceuticals). Green Day resumed touring and releasing albums after a short break.
Armstrong is currently pursuing a number of music and acting side projects, which he will no doubt focus on during his band's hiatus. He has most recently released a record with Norah Jones, covering songs of the Everly Brothers.
While the band won't be playing any sideshows during their Australian tour, Soundwave promoter AJ Maddah confirmed they will be playing a two-and-a-half hour long set.

Green Day tour dates:

Saturday February 22 - RNA Showgrounds, Brisbane
Sunday February 23 - Olympic Park, Sydney
Friday February 28 - Flemington Racecourse, Melbourne
Saturday March 1 - Bonython Park, Adelaide
Monday March 3 - Claremont Showgrounds, Perth
