Green Day has announced a massive American Idiot 20th anniversary box set

It’s been 20 years since Green Day roared back from near-obscurity with the brilliant American Idiot album. This, of course, demands a special reissue. And it’s a big one. The 20th anniversary deluxe edition arrives October 25. It’ll come with demos, alternate takes, a documentary, and a ton of live tracks. Naturally, there will be plenty of vinyl, too.

Here’s what fans will get with the super deluxe set.
