The album was released on February 1, 2024, and the band look set to mark it with a series of celebrations.
At the moment, the teaser is pretty vague, with just the hashtag #Dookie30 and a photo of a tape deck, but more plans are sure to be shared ahead of the 30th anniversary.

Back in 2019, the band surprised fans by playing ‘Dookie’ in full at a show in Madrid. Having teased fans that they’d be performing the entirety of their seminal 1994 record, the pop-punk veterans delivered when they took to the stage at their last-minute Spanish show ahead of the weekend’s MTV EMAs.
Looking forwards, Green Day last month debuted a new song titled ‘1981’ during their set at the festival d’été de Québec in Canada.
The new track comes after Green Day – comprised of frontman and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist Mike Durnt and drummer Tré Cool – parted ways with their label, Reprise Records, after their contract expired.
In December 2021, they shared a clip of themselves recording music at London’s RAK Studios, set to what could be a new song. In the short video, the numbers “1972” flash on screen, leaving fans wondering if it could be the name of a new song or an entire new album.
The band’s last album released was 2020’s ‘Father Of All Motherfuckers’. In a four-star review, NME praised the LP for being a “good old knees-up”.
