Green Day—vocalist/guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist Mike Dirnt, and drummer Tre Cool—were three kids from working-class backgrounds who came of age in the underground punk scene in Berkeley, California.

Even though Green Day had released two records prior ("1039 / Smooth Out Slappy Hours" and "Kerplunk"), they announced their arrival with 1994's "Dookie," a blast of punk-pop that spoke to bored teenagers everywhere. The album eventually sold 15 million copies worldwide, earned Green Day their first Grammy Award and inspired a raft of imitators.

Over the years, Green Day continued to top the charts with their subsequent studio albums "Insomniac," "Nimrod," and "Warning" while entertaining millions of fans with their frenetic live shows. But it was their landmark 2004 album "American Idiot" that launched Green Day into the stratosphere.

An artistic leap forward, Green Day's "American Idiot" is a punk rock opera and sarcastic middle-finger salute to the Administration that captured the cultural and political landscape at that time. "Jesus of Suburbia" set the tone by telling a tale of choosing between self-destruction and redemption that resonated with listeners of all ages, nationalities, and political persuasions. Green Day's "American Idiot" debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard chart and went on to sell more than five million copies in the U.S. and 12 million worldwide. It spawned five hit singles, earned seven Grammy nominations (winning two including Rock Album of the Year) and raised the bar for modern rock and roll.

In May 2009, Green Day released "21st Century Breakdown" and launched a world tour soon after.
