The news comes after Green Day hit the headlines this week after giving their American Idiot anthem a live update.

The band were performing the iconic song on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve when frontman Billie Joel changed the lyrics "I'm not a part of the redneck agenda," to “I’m not a part of the MAGA agenda,” referring to Donald Trump's famous slogan Make America Great Again.

American Idiot was first released in August 2004 from the album of the same name, peaking at No.3 on the UK Singles Chart and was widely know to be inspired by the George W. Bush administration, who led America into the Iraq War following the 9/11 terrorist attack.

The band have often criticised former US President Trump in their songs and often chanted, "No Trump! No KKK! No Fascist USA" at their shows.

2024 marks a busy one for the band, who will support the release of their Saviors album, which follows 2020's Father of All Motherf***ers, with a the global stadium Saviors Tour.
