Green Day to Reissue American Idiot for 20th Anniversary


Green Day are reissuing American Idiot to celebrate the album’s 20th anniversary this autumn. The digital deluxe edition arrives October 25 and includes unreleased demos, B-sides, live versions, and bonus songs. The 8xLP box set edition also features a new documentary on the album, 20 Years of American Idiot, alongside the 2015 documentary Heart Like a Hand Grenade. Check out the tracklist in full—plus a demo version of “Holiday” and “Boulevard of Broken Dreams,” bonus track “Favorite Son,” and a live version of “Minority”—below.

American Idiot is Green Day’s seventh studio album, and netted the trio its first No. 1 album and a Grammy Award for Best Rock Album at the 2005 ceremony. The band previously reissued its 1994 album, Dookie, as well as 1997’s Nimrod. Green Day’s most recent album was this year’s Saviors.
