Green Day are set to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The big event happens on May 1st, 2025, at 11:30 a.m. PT. Their star will sit at 6212 Hollywood Boulevard, right outside Amoeba Music.

On April 11th, 2025, festival-goers at Coachella’s Outdoor Theatre were treated to an unexpected collaboration when Green Day‘s frontman, Billie Joe Armstrong, joined the reunited The Go-Go’s on stage.
The band was performing their first major show together since 2018. Midway through their set, Armstrong appeared to perform the classic hit Head Over Heels, exclaiming, “Coachella! Holy shit, I’m playing with The Go-Go’s!”
The surprise performance was met with enthusiastic cheers from the audience, highlighting a memorable moment of cross-generational rock unity.

Green Day just announced a free concert in Los Angeles on March 25th — and it’s not just any show. The band are filming a scene for their upcoming movie, New Years Rev, and they want fans to be part of it.
Anyone over 18 can sign up to attend. The concert will take place at The Palladium, and fans will act as the crowd in a New Year’s Eve concert scene for the film. Expect a full day of filming, with free food and drinks provided for everyone who takes part.
Attendees are encouraged to come dressed in their best Green Day gear with a punk rock, New Year’s Eve twist. Keep in mind that strobe lights will be used, and parking isn’t available at the venue.
New Years Rev is a new comedy movie inspired by the band’s early touring days. It follows three young musicians chasing a dream of opening for Green Day on New Year’s Eve in LA.
Check out the band’s announcement post below:
Green Day fans have a new reason to celebrate: the iconic punk rock band is diving into the film industry with a comedy inspired by their early days. Titled New Years Rev, the movie is currently in production, with all three band members, Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tré Cool, serving as producers.
Directed by Lee Kirk, known for his collaboration with Armstrong on 2016’s Ordinary World, the film follows three friends who mistakenly believe they’re set to open for Green Day at a New Year’s Eve concert in Los Angeles. This misconception propels them into a wild, cross-country adventure reminiscent of Green Day‘s own early touring experiences.
The cast features Mason Thames, Kylr Coffman, and Ryan Foust as the trio of aspiring musicians. Joining them are The Office alumni Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey, along with Ignacio Diaz-Silverio and Keen Ruffalo.
Reflecting on the band’s formative years, Billie Joe Armstrong shared, “Van days rule. You will drive all night on no sleep then play a show for 10 kids in a basement… But you’ll do it again the next day, and the one after that. Because you’re doing it with your bandmates who become your family, and it’s unlike anything you’ve ever known.”
While a release date for New Years Rev hasn’t been announced yet, the film promises to capture the essence of youthful ambition and the unpredictable journey of chasing a dream—themes that resonate deeply with Green Day‘s legacy.
