You'd be forgiven for thinking that all of the RadioTimes.com Going Out team's rock music knowledge comes from tuning into MTV Rocks as a child. After all, that is how we discovered American rock band Green Day, from watching the music video to Boulevard Of Broken Dreams after school one day.

Now, years later, we have the chance to celebrate special milestones with the band; it's been 20-years since Green Day's Grammy Award-nominated album, American Idiot, and 30-years since their 1994 album Dookie, and the band have just released their 14th studio album, Saviours, too.

To celebrate not one but two anniversaries, as well as the release of a brand-new album, Green Day have announced a world tour! Speaking about the upcoming concerts, members Billie Joe Armstrong, Tré Cool and Mike Dirnt said: "We’ve never been more excited to unleash new music than with Saviours, a record that’s meant to be rocked live, together. So let’s thrash. We’ve got some amazing friends who are coming along for the ride!"

Fans on this side of the pond will be thrilled to hear that Green Day are visiting four UK and Irish cities, as well as headlining Isle of Wight Festival. Rockers can expect to dance and sing along to hits from Dookie, songs from Green Day's new album, and, of course, tracks from American Idiot.

The 2004 album truly renewed Green Day's success: American Idiot won the 2005 Grammy Award for the Best Rock Album of that year, and it won seven of the eight awards it was nominated for at the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards — good, old MTV! The track Boulevard of Broken Dreams went on to win a Grammy Award for Record of the Year in 2006, and Kerrang! magazine named American Idiot the best album of the decade.
