Green Day is on the cover of the latest edition of Kerrang, available now in the UK.
This summer's mega Download features not one, not two, but three first-time headliners: there's the unbelievable ascent of Sleep Token, nu-metal kings Korn getting their moment, and of course, festival and stadium-conquering legends Green Day.
Ahead of their massive return to the UK, we catch up with frontman Billie Joe Armstrong about the past 18 months on their phenomenal Saviors era, as well as recent achievements like ruling Coachella and getting their Walk Of Fame star.
Thanks for the scans @jengd! I'm with Billie on the long runs and it never ceases to amaze me how lyrics and music just constantly come to him so whenever he's had enough of a break he's good to go. Sounds like he's doing really well
It’s so nice to read how they truly appreciate this time in their careers and have enjoyed the hell out of this tour. For so many years, it seemed like it was just go-go-go for them and I don’t think they really stopped to look around and feel proud of what they accomplished or enjoy the moment. They definitely do that now and it’s great to see. I’m sure taking that time to embrace it all makes it an overall more positive and relaxed experience for all of them.
