In 2004, Green Day released American Idiot, a political punk rock opera that revived the band’s career and defined a new era of rock.

With songs like American Idiot, Boulevard of Broken Dreams, and Holiday, the album became a global phenomenon and won a Grammy.

Led by Billie Joe Armstrong, the band proved they could evolve while still keeping their punk roots.
