Green Day Drummer Tré Cool Addresses Glastonbury Rumors And Festival Bucket List

Green Day has dominated main stages around the globe for decades, but one iconic festival slot remains unchecked on their bucket list. Drummer Tré Cool recently weighed in on whether the legendary California punk trio will ever take over Worthy Farm for a headlining set at Glastonbury. Speaking with NME while promoting the group's new feature film project, the percussionist reflected on their decades of topping massive international festival bills. Green Day has already conquered heavyweights like Coachella, Lollapalooza, Download, Riot Fest, Pinkpop, Rock am Ring, and Reading & Leeds. Yet, despite their massive catalog and global stadium status, a Worthy Farm headlining slot has continuously eluded them.

While festival lineups remain a hot topic among music fans every season, the pop-punk icons remain one of the biggest active stadium acts never to headline the British music spectacle. Rumors frequently circulate about potential appearances, but festival billings and scheduling have kept the trio off the Pyramid Stage main slot thus far. The festival discussion arrives right alongside the release of Green Day's new cinematic effort, *Nimrods*. Written and directed by Lee Kirk, the fictional coming-of-age comedy hit UK cinemas on August 11. The storyline centers on three teenage musicians who mistakenly believe they bagged an opening slot for Green Day at a New Year's Eve gig.

Green Day didn't just lend their name to the movie—the trio signed on as executive producers and make on-screen cameo appearances as themselves. The official soundtrack features classic hits from throughout their multi-decade discography alongside a fresh track titled "I'm Never Gonna R.I.P." To celebrate the film's big debut, the group hosted a premiere in Los Angeles last week and stunned attendees by ripping through a surprise live performance at the official afterparty. Now, fans are left wondering if those classic rock anthems will finally grace the UK's most famous stage in the near future.
