Green Day, Lorna Shore, Emperor, Electric Callboy and more announced for Norway’s Tons Of Rock festival
Tons Of Rock takes place at the end of June… that’s quite close to Download Festival, innit?
The Cali punks are bringing back their fifth album on special, limited-edition yellow vinyl.
We all love an anniversary. Well, up to a point – when the big numbers start looming on the horizon, shit. But 20? Twenty is a good number. And that’s how old Green Day’s album Nimrod will be when it celebrates its birthday on October 14.
To mark the double-decade, the trio’s fifth studio LP will get a fancy reissue, on limited-edition yellow vinyl. It comes out through Reprise on October 13 – and is actually available in two separate versions.
Twenty-five bucks gets you the album on double LP – the fourth side is etched. While for 35, you get a t-shirt thrown in, too. Check out (and maybe pre-order) these bundles here.
The LPs are all individually numbered because, as we were just saying, numbers are cool. And, again, with limited-run records: the smaller, the better.
Nimrod was the album that gave us Hitchin’ A Ride, Redundant, Nice Guys Finish Last and Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) as singles – though the latter was previously a b-side to the Brain Stew/Jaded single. (I know, I’ve got a copy in the loft.) Good Riddance sold over two and a half million copies as a digital download, making it one of Green Day’s biggest-ever hits. Refresh your memory, below.
