Green Day to mark 20th Anniversary of 'American Idiot' with multiple special editons

Green Day will commemorate its Grammy-winning album with the American Idiot 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition out October 25. The Limited Edition Super Deluxe Box Sets are in 8LP Vinyl and 4CD configurations.

Each box set contains two Blu-ray discs. Also released October 25 will be a limited-edition color LP of the original 2LP album, plus an audiophile "One-Step" release of American Idiot. The first three tracks – which include an unreleased demo of “Holiday/Boulevard of Broken Dreams (Demo),” the B-side “Favorite Son,” and “Minority (Live from Irving Plaza)” – are available on all streaming platforms now. Listen HERE.

Both limited-edition Super Deluxe Box Sets feature the Original Album as well as extras such as 15 unreleased American Idiot demos, a 15-track 2004 concert recorded at Irving Plaza in New York City and 9 previously unreleased live recordings (including a cover of Queen’s “We Are The Champions”), and 14 songs previously available only as B-Sides and bonus tracks. 

The two Blu-ray discs comprise the film Heart Like A Hand Grenade, BBC: Top of the Pops “Mini Gig” and Later with Jools Holland, and the new documentary 20 Years of American Idiot. New liner notes were penned by Rob Cavallo and Rolling Stone’s David Fricke.

In the Vinyl Box Set, each LP has been pressed on its own unique color vinyl. The collection also houses a 36-page book, a large Green Day flag, and the American Idiot red tie. If you purchase via D2C, you will also receive a poster. Meanwhile, the CD Box Set boasts a 48-page book, enamel pin set, sticker sheet, and cloth patch.

Produced by Rob Cavallo and the band, American Idiot was released on September 21, 2004 and debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, eventually moving north of 23 million copies globally—with 9 million in the United States alone. It garnered a 2005 GRAMMY® Award in the category of “Best Rock Album.” It inspired a Broadway musical of the same name, receiving two Tony® Awards and a GRAMMY® Award.
