“People know where Green Day stands,” says Armstrong. “It's in our songs. It's the way that we've talked about things ever since the beginning. Even before that, we were writing about politics. You know, we have a firm stance of anti-racism [and] anti-homophobia. I'm a middle aged man now. We brought out [nonprofit group] HeadCount, and it was by far the biggest turnout for people registering to vote that they've ever had on a tour. For Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish to come out and say something, I'd rather be an ally of that than to be trying to jump on that. But I agree with them.”
 

I wasn’t totally sure why Billie wasn’t directly addressing politics as much at shows anymore or why the band didn’t directly address the lead up to the election, but I really love and appreciate the logic of just getting fans registered to vote and supporting the younger artists who (tried) to mobilize their fanbases.

Guys! Green Day is nominated for best Rock Grammy for 2025! 

The Grammys are currently announcing 2025 nominees and Haley Williams just announced best Rock Nominees. Saviors is up for the Grammy!! Congrats boys!!! 

AHHHH Billie is on the nomination broadcast!!! He announced record and album of the year! I am losing my shit at work!!! I didn't know he was appearing, so it was a total surprise!

Sadly, Green Day did not make the cut for these categories :(

 

It will be interesting to see who wins best rock album. I’d say everyone has a chance except The Black Crowes and maybe the Rolling Stones

Would be great to see them win it. Saviors is excellent and especially fresh for a band that’s been around so long.

Wow 3 nominations!

American Dream for best rock performance and Dilemma for best rock song!

Copied comments the band made within aa general article I posted updating the Download festival in case you missed it:-

 

Green Day will be hoping the festival gives fans the chance to check out some new music, as they previously told of their despair at people relying on TikTok algorithms to be introduced to other artists.

Mike Dirnt told The Sun newspaper: “Social media is great for kids but if you’re finding your music via algorithms then that’s just lazy.

“I like to organically find new things. All I can say is just clear your search history to find new [stuff].”

Billie Joe Armstrong added: “I was told that 'Brain Stew' was a sudden popular thing on TikTok with a lot of hip-hop kids dancing to it. And that’s cool.

“But I don’t have the patience to use it. It’s just like, eurgh. It’s cool for other people but we’re old- school man.”

And the trio worry such algorithms are fuelling the rise of misinformation online.

Billie Joe said: "With all the algorithms that people live on, there’s so much false information, and there’s people diagnosing themselves with Asperger’s off TikTok. That’s absurd to me."
