Nervy riffs and refrains screamed at the top of the lungs galvanise every session. This punk fire, perfectly rendered, thrills a whole generation of fans.

"From the very first seconds"
Plugging in your guitar and hammering Green Day's electric catalogue, from punk anthems to rock operas, in vibrant staging: this stand-alone celebrates the band with energy. Singing at the top of your lungs and chaining riffs delivers an instant jolt, especially in a group. Unifying and catchy, a virtual concert built for fans and lovers of big punk-rock sound.
Is Green Day - Rock Band still worth playing in 2026?
A Rock Band spin-off entirely devoted to Green Day, this Harmonix title lets you replay a large selection of the punk rock band's repertoire on guitar, bass, drums and vocals. The musical fidelity, the concert staging and the energy of the tracks delight fans of the band. The dependency on dedicated instruments, the server closures and a single artist tracklist cap the appeal. A title for Green Day devotees and lovers of instrumental rhythm games.
