Green Day Tickets Promo Code

Green Day is an American rock band formed in 1987. The band consists of three core members: Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tr?ool.
Green Day was originally part of the punk rock scene at 924 Gilman Street in Berkeley, California. Its early releases for independent label Lookout! Records earned them a grassroots fan base, some of whom felt alienated when the band signed to a major label. Nevertheless, its major label debut Dookie became a breakout success in 1994 and eventually sold over 10 million copies in the U.S. alone.
As a result, Green Day was widely credited with reviving mainstream interest in and popularizing punk rock in the United States. Green Day’s three follow-up albums, Insomniac, Nimrod and Warning did not achieve the massive success of Dookie, but they were still successful, reaching double platinum, double platinum and gold status respectively. Its 2004 rock opera American Idiot reignited the band’s popularity with a younger generation, selling 5 million copies in the U.S.

Green Day is a popular punk rock ensemble that was founded in the year 1987. The current band members consist of four prolific artists. Billy Joe Armstrong is the lead vocalist as well the guitarist of the band, whereas Tre Cool provides drumming expertise, Mike Dirnt presents backing vocals and the band’s bassist is Jason White. Jason White joined the group recently after playing with them as a touring guitarist for almost thirteen years.
 
Originally when the ensemble entered the punk rock music scene in the 1980s, they were part of the 924 Gilman Street; a music club that was non-profit in nature. They were also originally named “Sweet Children”. At that time, the releases that the band produced were mostly through an Independent Record Label Company named Lookout! Records. This record company approached the band in 1988, when its owner, Larry Livermore, saw the members play at a show. After they signed on to this record company, they were advised by Larry Livermore to change their name. It was in this year, that Sweet Children became Green Day. This name was taken up by the band as a result of their infatuation with marijuana.
 
The punk rock collective released their debut rock album named “1000 Hours” in 1990. They then went on tours throughout Europe in the year 1992 and 1993. Upon their return they released their second studio album which was soon to become their claim to fame. The name of this album was “Kerplunk” and it was able to sell fifty thousand records throughout the United States. With the release of this album, major record label companies started approaching the band and they decided to sign up with Reprise Records, ending their contract with Lookout! Records. Through the newly formed coalition, recording of their major label debut album started immediately and took three weeks to complete. The album was named “Dookie” and it came out in 1994, becoming a worldwide commercial success almost immediately.
 
By means of massive airplay provided by the MTV music channel, videos of songs such as “Basket Case”, “Longview” and “When I Come Around” were played continuously and they became chart toppers. They were able to reach the number one spot on the Modern Rock Charts. After the success of “Dookie”, the group started a lineup of tours and concerts. They started off by performing with Pansy Division, on a national tour after which they brought to audiences the memorable performances at the Hatch Memorial Shell, Woodstock festival and the Lollapalooza festival of 1994. All these tours and performances helped “Dookie” reach Diamond status.
 
In the following year; 1995, the band got nominated for four Grammy Awards out of which it won for the Best Alternative Rock Album. They also received nine nominations in various categories of MTV Awards. If you are a fan and wish to attend their upcoming concert, you should get your hands on Green Day tickets immediately before they run out.
In the same year, the band released their new single that was able to reach to the number one spot on the Billboard Modern Rock Track Charts. The single was named “Angus”. After the song gained massive popularity, they released their fourth debut album through Repirsed Records. This album was given the name “Insomniac” which had a darker and heavier sound to it. The album received positive critical reviews and was able to sell over two million records throughout the US. Then came their fifth album in 1997, titled “Nimrod” that brought something completely new to the table. It not only included songs of punk rock, but also ska, acoustic ballads and pop-punk music styles making it an experimental record. This tentative album was able to bring forward records such as “Time of Your Life”, “Hitchin’ a Ride”, “Redundant” and “Nice Guys Finish Last”. Three more studio albums came after Nimrod in the years 2000, 2004 and 2009 named “Warning”, “American Idiot” and “21^st Century Breakdown”. These alluring albums presented some amazing sound tracks such as “When September Ends”, “American Idiot”, “Are We the Waiting” and the list goes on and on.
