Green Day is a California punk rock trio featuring frontman Billie Joe Armstrong and drummer Tré Cool. Over decades of activity, the group has established itself as one of modern rock's biggest active stadium acts and pop-punk icons, routinely topping main stages at major international music festivals around the world.
In addition to their music career, the group expanded into filmmaking with their fictional coming-of-age comedy feature Nimrods. Inspired by the band's wild early years on the road, the project proved their ability to navigate film alongside records and stage musicals. The positive reception to Nimrods also renewed interest in potential plans for a big-screen movie adaptation of their smash 2004 concept album American Idiot.
Green Day has conquered festival bills including Coachella, Lollapalooza, Download, Riot Fest, Pinkpop, Rock am Ring, and Reading & Leeds, though a headlining appearance at Glastonbury has continuously eluded them. Band members also take part in collaborative live events, such as Billie Joe Armstrong performing with supergroup The Cretin Family at a Ramones anniversary tribute in Los Angeles.
