Written and directed by Lee Kirk, the film follows three teenagers who mistakenly believe their band have secured a Green Day support slot at a New Year’s Eve concert.

The band appear as themselves and also serve as producers.

It arrived in UK cinemas on August 11.

The soundtrack includes classics from across their discography as well as the new song ‘I’m Never Gonna R.I.P.’ .

To celebrate the new project, the band played a surprise set at the Los Angeles premiere afterparty last week.

Now, their drummer has spoken to NME about the huge festival slots they have played over the years, including headlining Coachella , Riot Fest, Lollapalooza, Reading & Leeds , Download , Pinkpop, Rock am Ring and more.

One event they have yet to perform at though, is the legendary Glastonbury Festival.

In the latest NME interview, Tré Cool was asked if the three of them would be open to a headline slot on the Pyramid Stage.

“Yeah.

If they ask us,” he replied.

“It’s the last great festival that we haven’t done.” When asked if they had ever come close to taking on the coveted slot, he replied: “I just go with what’s on the day sheet! They’re not really calling the drummer!” Frontman Billie Joe Armstrong attended Glastonbury in 2019 to watch his son’s band SWMRS , who were on the line-up that year.
