American Idiot will officially turn 20 on September 21. It first arrived in 2004, during a relative decline in the band's popularity. American Idiot reinvigorated Green Day’s career, earning six-time Platinum certification from the RIAA and spawning hits in the title track, “Boulevard of Broken Dreams,” “Holiday,” and “Wake Me up When September Ends.” The album was their first #1 on the Billboard Hot 200 and won them a Grammy Award for Best Rock Album in 2005. American Idiot also inspired a Tony-winning Broadway musical – a punk rock opera.
Green Day is currently on tour playing American Idiot in full to celebrate the upcoming milestone. They’re also performing 1994’s Dookie in its entirety in celebration of its 30th anniversary. The band previously reissued Dookie, as well as 1997’s Nimrod. Green Day’s most recent album was this year’s Saviors.
Listen to three bonus tracks from the reissue below.
