The event screenings include a recorded introduction from Green Day along with exclusive live performances filmed at the Hollywood Palladium. That's the March 2025 show where fans were invited for free while Green Day filmed concert scenes for Nimrods, a few of which were released on the Nimrods soundtrack. The band also played a short set for fans between takes that included "Revolution Radio," "One Eyed Bastard," "2000 Light Years Away" and "Going to Pasalacqua."

Today's screenings are being distributed internationally by Trafalgar Releasing, with screenings available across the UK, Europe, Australia, Asia and other markets. U.S. theaters including AMC and Regal are also participating in the early-access event.

You can search for tickets and showtimes on the official Nimrods site.

Nimrods follows three friends driving from Kansas City to Los Angeles after mistakenly believing their band has been booked to open for Green Day on New Year's Eve. The road trip is loosely inspired by Green Day's own years touring in a van before Dookie.

Today's screenings are a limited event with the extra Green Day footage. The movie opens more widely in U.S. theaters on August 14th. You can also check our Nimrods release guide for the latest ticket and screening information.

The figures recreate one of the most recognizable moments of Green Day's early career. Their Woodstock set descended into a full-on mud fight with the crowd during "Paper Lanterns," eventually ending with fans coming onto the stage and Mike being mistaken for one of them by security. You can watch their full set in the GDA tour section.

Rather than turn every interview into its own story, here are the good parts.

Variety and IGN at Comic-Con


Variety focused on how the movie came together with director Lee Kirk and the cast.


IGN asked if the American Idiot movie could become a thing still. Billie Joe says it still comes up: "There's always talks about it, but we just have to figure out when."


Billboard


Billboard got probably the best new info of the press tour. While explaining how the movie borrows from the band's real experiences of bumming rides from friends before they had a vehicle, Billie casually added: "And I did steal a limo once." So we need the full story for that...

For example, Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong tells Billboard that the movie reflects how the band has toured in all kinds of strange vehicles, from a tiny Dodge Omni to a converted bookmobile that served as its first tour van.

"If one of our friends had time to take us somewhere, they would. We didn't have a vehicle. We would just hit them up for their car -- and that's in the movie," says Armstrong. "And I did steal a limo once, so that's what tied in the part where he steals his brother's car.

Los Angeles Times


The Los Angeles Times interview is probably the best one if you're interested in the real Green Day stories hidden in the movie.

They talk about their van catching fire during their first European tour, getting stranded in San Luis Obispo and playing shows to repay the mechanic who fixed their van, and the mud fight at Woodstock '94 eventually turning into an actual fight.

Billie also offers a pretty good explanation for how any of this happened in the first place: "You have to be delusional to be in a band."

Another cool detail: The band felt that "Haushinka" worked so well during a driving scene in the movie that Green Day ended up putting the song back into their live set in 2025.



TheWrap


TheWrap's interview digs further into which parts of Nimrods came from real Green Day history. Billie also explains that his original idea was closer to 200 Cigarettes -- a New Year's Eve story about young fans trying to find Green Day -- before it evolved into the movie they ended up making.



Associated Press


The Associated Press interview spends more time on the bigger ideas behind the movie: Green Day's early touring years, fans discovering the band across different generations, working with Mason Thames and Mckenna Grace, and why actually going out and experiencing music still matters in the TikTok era.



CinemaBlend


CinemaBlend asked Billie about one misconception the movie could create: that touring around in a van meant constant partying.

It was apparently the opposite. They were driving themselves and basically acting as their own tour managers, so somebody had to be responsible.

"All [the partying] came after we got a tour bus."

CBR


CBR gets into why Green Day specifically didn't want to make a biopic, why Lee Kirk was the right person to make the movie and how they ended up with the Nimrods title.

Naturally, that conversation also leads to a joke about why calling the movie Dookie might result in some crappy reviews.



Fandango / Rotten Tomatoes


This is basically the band-banter interview. Fandango and Rotten Tomatoes released different cuts of the same Mark Ellis sit-down, covering their first concerts, road trips, favorite music movies and soundtracks, and even where they prefer to sit in a movie theater.





Don't forget to check out Nimrods in theaters on August 11th and 14th!

Tré's "Transmission Unknown"
"Transmission Unknown" is a weekly show hosted by Tré Cool as Raj Goombar. It's basically Green Day meets late-night public access television, with interviews, performances and plenty of wonderful weirdness. Thankfully GreenDayItaly captured the two below:




An unreleased "American Idiot" video
It's a directors rough cut of the American Idiot music video, complete with unfinished green screen shots and different edits between Billie Joe, Mike and Tré. The video was shared to Green Day's Facebook page:



The Rave in Milwaukee - 1994
One of the better live finds is a pro-shot from The Rave in Milwaukee on July 22, 1994. Fans quickly captured the show and got it back onto YouTube.



Early Green Day footage
The stream has also dug pretty deep into the early years. Fans captured Green Day at the Phoenix Theater in Petaluma on January 2, 1991, and have spotted other early shows including Berkeley Square. There's also a complete show recording from Fagersta, Sweden from May 1994. Below is a great quality video from a 1993 show in Miami.



GDTV is currently being promoted on a Billboard in Santa Monica, CA.



One Redditor made a pretty awesome decal of the GDTV logo.


With no real schedule for the stream, fans on GDC have started recording anything unfamiliar. GDA's media mod, Cooper Castille, created a YouTube playlist where he's archiving things that air.

What's new


"I'm Never Gonna R.I.P.," the new Green Day song released with the first movie trailer.
Four previously unreleased Green Day recordings from the band's March 2025 show at the Hollywood Palladium: "American Idiot," "Know Your Enemy," "Auld Lang Syne" and "Going to Pasalacqua."
Four songs by the movie's fictional punk band, Analog Dogs: "Bored," "Getaway," "Freaking Out," and a cover of Green Day's "Dominated Love Slave." - Listen below
New songs from The Paradox, Mckenna Grace and Ultra Q.


Most of the remaining Green Day songs are familiar studio recordings pulled from throughout the band's catalog, including "Basket Case," "Brain Stew," "Warning," "21 Guns" and "Dilemma."

The four live tracks were recorded when Green Day filmed concert scenes at the Hollywood Palladium in March 2025. Fans appear especially happy to have a new official recording of "Going to Pasalacqua."



The fictional Analog Dogs are currently listed as "Anal OG Dogs" on Spotify and Apple Music, which is just fantastic.

You can listen to their songs from the official Green Day YouTube





You can listen to or order the soundtrack here. We previously covered the complete track list and available physical editions.

"Nimrods" begins limited international screenings August 11 before opening in U.S. theaters August 14. Our release guide has the current dates and ticket information.

Cavallo identifies the amp as a 1971 Marshall 1959SLP (Super Lead Plexi). Billie recorded the album with Blue, which had been fitted with a Seymour Duncan JB humbucker to replace the original pickup that had corroded, through the modified head and a Marshall 4x12 cabinet loaded with Vintage 30 speakers. That fairly simple setup became one of the most recognizable guitar sounds of the last 30 years.

He worked with Bob Bradshaw from Custom Audio Electronics (CAE) to mod the amp.
Nobody really had any money. But I decided to spend a little on the off chance that he might like the sound of it. I got a 71 plexi and we went to Bob and I said, "Make something that sounds kind of punk, but also sounds kind of rich" so that it would kind of straddle between something that was just very intense and bright, but also something that would be kind of musical and something that would sort of sing. So, Bob and I we just hung out together and he would try different modifications.

A stock Marshall model 1959 has two channels, each controlled by its own volume knob, but no master volume. On Rob's amp, "MASTER" has been added above the original Volume I control, showing that it had been converted to a master-volume arrangement. Marshall describes that copied circuit as cascading the amp's gain stages so the signal travels through both channels in sequence, rather than using them as separate channels. That creates more gain and sustain while retaining the clarity of the original sound.

In practical terms, one control determines how hard the preamp is driven into distortion, while the master controls the overall output. Marshall R&D director Jon Magill explained that the same basic gain-and-master arrangement was carried into the new 1959BJA, along with filtering changes designed to make it sound bigger and livelier than a standard Marshall master-volume amp.

The video also clears up a detail that has become muddled over the years: Rob's original studio amp is not Pete (the iconic amp still used on tour). After recording Dookie, Billie bought his own Marshall 1959SLP and had Custom Audio Electronics modify it to recreate the sound of Cavallo's amp. That reproduction became Pete and went on the road with Green Day. Rob kept the original, and apparently continued using it on plenty of other records over the following three decades.

Pierce and Cavallo demo the original before comparing it directly with Marshall's new 1959BJA signature amp, with Rob saying that the new amp captures the sound perfectly.
They really are the same amps. Just one's healthier. This one's healthier. But I guarantee you in 50 years this one will sound like that one. So, I'm really so happy for Billie Joe and Bill Schneider, who's Billie Joe's main guitar and amp tech, and then of course Marshall themselves for making this one available to everybody. They pulled it off. It's the real thing.

The run started Thursday night when The Coverups headlined Fandom's 9th annual Comic-Con party at the Hard Rock Hotel. You can see the full setlist and show details in GDA's tour section.

Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson joined the band five songs into the set for "All the Young Dudes," the David Bowie song originally recorded by Mott the Hoople. Billie Joe also dedicated the band's cover of Nirvana's "Drain You" to late L7 bassist Jennifer Finch.



The set covered everything from the Ramones and Buzzcocks to Ozzy Osbourne, Mötley Crüe and The Strokes. They even played "Do You Wanna Dance?" twice because, according to the notes from the show, not enough people danced the first time. Deadline included The Coverups' performance in its roundup of Comic-Con parties.

Billie, Mike and Tré were back to Green Day business Friday to promoted the Nimrods movie. The band joined Mason Thames, Jenna Fischer and director Lee Kirk for Variety's Comic-Con interview studio at The Pendry. The Variety interview focuses on developing the fictional story with director Lee Kirk and stars Mason Thames and Jenna Fischer.




They were also interviewed by IGN where they discussed the band making this movie and whether the long-discussed "American Idiot" adaptation could still happen.
We've talked about it a lot. We've talked to Michael Mayer, the director who did the 'American Idiot' musical, so there's talks. There's always talks about it, but we just have to figure out when.




After the press was done, a branded "Nimrods" ice cream truck pulled up at Gallagher Square outside Petco Park Friday afternoon with Green Day and members of the movie's cast standing on top. Billie then grabbed an acoustic guitar and played a medley of "Basket Case" and "One of My Lies."

Thanks to dizzyboi04 for sharing the video.

Green Day, Thames, Fischer and Kirk also handed out and tossed ice cream and "Nimrods" shirts to the crowd. The surprise appearance had only been announced earlier that day, giving nearby fans a few hours to get to Gallagher Square.

The Radiant Red model is largely the same guitar Epiphone released in Classic White in 2021. The new finish is the most obvious change, and a new rosewood fretboard replaces the Indian laurel used on the earlier version. The price has also increased from $549 to $649.







Otherwise, it keeps the same setup: one P-90 pickup, volume and tone controls, a black pickguard and Billie Joe's signature on the back of the headstock.

The 2021 release was also offered as a Player Pack bundle with an amp and accessories. Epiphone has not announced a Radiant Red version of that bundle.

Billie's history with the Les Paul Junior goes back to 2000, when he bought the 1956 sunburst model known as "Floyd." It became one of his main guitars during the Warning and American Idiot years and he still uses it today.

Gibson released the first Billie Joe Armstrong signature Les Paul Junior in 2006, closely based on Floyd, for $1,399. Epiphone, Gibson's more affordable brand, followed with a lower-priced Classic White version in 2021. That model has since been discontinued, but the new Radiant Red edition continues the same basic design for $649. You can order the guitar from Musicians Friend.

The timing is convenient. It arrives just as Billie Joe's new Marshall 1959BJA signature amp goes on sale.

The video opens with "Welcome to Paradise" before Billie explains his history with Marshall amps and how the guitar sound that became central to Dookie came together, thanks to Rob Cavallo. Billie described getting his first Marshall as "kind of an eye-opening experience," adding that when it comes to playing through a 4x12 cabinet, "nothing gives you that sound."

It's very cool to see him playing on it, the sound is unmistakable. The 100-watt, handwired amp head was officially announced last week and is available beginning today. Check out the demo video below.

The scavenger hunt is part of the launch for Billie Joe's new 1959BJA signature amp. Marshall will release clues through its Instagram Stories, with each hiding place connected to what it calls a "moment of significance."

They haven't explained whether those moments are tied to Green Day, Marshall or Los Angeles, so apparently your years of collecting otherwise useless Green Day trivia may finally pay off.

Each collectible will contain some unspecified exclusive goodies (the first stories show a container signed by Billie Joe), along with tickets to the July 20th show.

That gives Los Angeles fans another 20 chances to get into the show after the original tickets were claimed. Just keep Marshall's Story notifications turned on to get the latest.



You can also read more about Billie Joe's new Marshall amp.]]> https://www.greendayauthority.com/news/6353/ https://www.greendayauthority.com/news/6353/ Thu, 16 Jul 2026 09:30:01 -0400 <![CDATA[Marshall announces the Billie Joe Armstrong 'Dookie' signature amp]]> Fuzz
The baby-blue amp first appeared behind Billie Joe during Green Day's performance at Super Bowl LX in February. Marshall posted a few close-up photos afterward, making the collaboration fairly obvious, but fans were left waiting for a release date.

The 1959BJA is a handwired, 100-watt amp head based on Marshall's 1959HW platform. It includes a custom "Dookie Mod" designed to capture the extra gain, tighter low end and heavy crunch associated with Billie Joe's guitar sound. It has a single channel, high- and low-gain inputs, three-band EQ, presence, gain and master volume controls.

For those of us who don't speak fluent guitar amp, Marshall has basically packaged Billie Joe's Dookie-era tone inside an official factory-built Plexi. The amp uses three ECC83 preamp valves and four EL34 power valves, and is handwired in the UK.

The blue finish is inspired by Billie Joe's first electric guitar, Blue. It also includes brass and silver panel details, custom branding and Billie Joe's signature on the front and back.



Billie Joe's guitar sound is instantly recognisable," says Steph Carter, Culture Marketing Director at Marshall. "From the moment you hear those opening chords on Dookie, you know exactly who it is. Working with Billie to create an amp that captures that punch, aggression and clarity was an incredible project for our team."

"I'm so overjoyed to have my own signature Marshall amp. These amps have been a part of my musical life, from my heroes down to little old me. Turn it the f**k up!!" says Billie Joe

Now for the part where most of us close the shopping tab in disappointment, the 1959BJA will cost $3,999.99 when it goes on sale July 21 through Marshall and authorized retailers. That price is for the amp head only, so you'll still need a cabinet.

At $3,999.99, the 1959BJA will be one of Marshall's most expensive current amp heads, but the price is not far outside what the company already charges for its highest-end Plexi models. It costs more than the standard 1959 Handwired, but only $150 more than the recently released 1959 Modified. Considering the custom Dookie Mod, handwired construction, and signature finish the price makes a little more sense.

Fan reaction has been fairly consistent so far: it looks incredible, but $4,000 is going to be hard to justify for most people. Several fans have also questioned why Marshall didn't offer a smaller 20-watt version that would be cheaper and slightly less likely to shake everything off the walls.

It is aimed more at serious guitar players and collectors than someone trying to play "Basket Case" for the first time in their apartment. But after decades of fans chasing Billie Joe's Marshall sound through pedals, amp mods, and plugins, there is finally an official version.

Let us know what you think about it in the comments.

Global screenings will take place beginning August 11th, including select theaters in the U.S., followed by the movie's wider U.S. release on August 14th.

Here's what Green Day fans need to know before tickets become available.

Nimrods release dates


July 14: Tickets go on sale for August 11th screenings. Updated 7/14/26: Showtimes are now live at nimrodsmovie2026.com.
July 31: The Nimrods soundtrack will be released.
August 11: Limited international screenings begin.
August 14: The movie opens in theaters across the United States.

The August 11th screenings will include a recorded introduction from Green Day and bonus live performances, most likely recorded at the March 2025 date at the Hollywood Palladium, which was announced with free tickets specifically to film for Nimrods. Picturehouse says its screenings will feature three previously unseen performances recorded by the band. U.S. early-access screenings are also being advertised with a Green Day introduction and bonus performance.

The July 14th ticket date applies to screenings. Some U.S. theaters (like Regal and AMC) have already started listing tickets for the August 11 early-access event, while availability for the wider August 14 release is still being added.

Where will Nimrods be playing?


The official international Nimrods website currently says the movie will be in cinemas for a limited time beginning August 11th, but it does not yet provide a searchable list of countries, theaters or showtimes.

[Updated 7/14/2026]
Showtimes, locations, and tickets can now be found at nimrodsmovie2026.com.

We'll update this page as theater listings become available. If you find a screening in your area that we have missed, add it in the comments below for others to find.

What is Nimrods about?


Nimrods follows three friends who set out on a road trip to Los Angeles after mistakenly believing their band has been booked to open for Green Day on New Year's Eve.

The story was inspired by Green Day's adventures living and touring in a van before the release of Dookie. The cast includes Mason Thames, Kylr Coffman, Ryan Foust, Mckenna Grace, Jenna Fischer, Angela Kinsey, Fred Armisen, Bobby Lee and Sean Gunn. Billie Joe, Mike and Tré are producers on the movie and also make appearances throughout it.

The movie originally premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2025 under the title New Years Rev. It was renamed Nimrods earlier this year after being acquired for theatrical distribution.

You can watch the full trailer below.


The Nimrods soundtrack


The Nimrods soundtrack will be released July 31 on vinyl, CD, cassette and streaming services. It can be purchased on Amazon

It includes Green Day's new song "I'm Never Gonna R.I.P.," 22 other Green Day songs, and several live recordings. The soundtrack also features music from The Paradox, Ultra Q, Mckenna Grace and Analog Dogs.

Several physical editions are already available to preorder, including a neon green Green Day store exclusive, a red swirl Target edition with a poster and an exclusive "Woodstock Mud" pressing.


What we still do not know


There are still several details that should become clearer when international tickets go on sale July 14, including the full list of participating countries and theaters, how long screenings will remain available in each market and exactly what live footage will be included.

"The spirit of the Ramones is alive in every backyard punk show, punk club, and festival," Billie Joe Armstrong said in a statement. "Generation after generation of cretins and weirdos become Ramones lovers. Kids are influenced by the Ramones and they don't even know it yet. ¡Viva Ramones!"

The sentiment is echoed by Barker ("The Ramones are the blueprint. Punk rock wouldn't be what it is today without them. I'm honored to celebrate 50 years of one of the greatest bands ever!!!"), Tim Armstrong ("From the moment I first heard the Ramones, music was never the same"), and C.J. Ramone ("This is gonna be the biggest celebration of the Ramones anyone has seen for a long time!!!").

The group will perform at The Ramones 50th Anniversary Tribute concert on August 30th at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, featuring host John Travolta. Several surprise guests will join Cretin Family throughout their set.

The event will also include a double-feature screening of Travolta's new film, Propeller One-Way Night Coach and the classic horror movie Carrie (also celebrating its 50th anniversary). Tickets are available here, with proceeds benefiting the David Agus MD Cancer Research at Ellison Institute.

Green Day performed at the 2002 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for the Ramones' induction, which you can watch below.
