Green Day dropped Dookie in 1994, a decade before the Billie Joe Armstrong-led band unleashed the chart-topping American Idiot, which housed “Wake Me Up When September Ends.” All of which is to say, wake us up when September begins because Green Day is releasing Dookie 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition on September 29. The album is available to pre-order here, and the accompanying capsule collection is available here.
Green Day had been teasing this announcement with nostalgic Instagram posts.
On Thursday morning, August 17, the band broke the news with another Instagram post. The lengthy caption can be read below:
“Sometimes you take a gamble and luck’s on your side. Back in the summer of ’93 Green Day went into the studio to record Dookie and had no idea what their destiny would be. They were young, rebellious, and absolutely scared sh*tless. There was no telling if they were about to prove everyone wrong or make the biggest mistake of their lives.
This year Dookie turns 30 and they’ve cracked open the vaults putting together an epic 30th Anniversary Super Deluxe version of the album that will be available as a 6-LP vinyl, 4-CD box set and up everywhere digitally.
The release features:
– the original album
– seventeen unreleased demos
– six studio outtakes (3 unreleased)
– Woodstock 1994
– Live in Barcelona 1994 (unreleased)A limited version is available for pre-order now in the webstore along with the Dookie merch capsule collection. So go go go pre-order yours now – link in bio.
As a little treat for you, 10 4-track demos are also out everywhere TODAY, so go give ‘em a listen.”
