It’s been another huge year of growth for GreenDay.fm with record traffic and popular new additions to the site including a Song Guide, completely revamped Singles & Side Projects sections and the launch of our new companion site – GreenDayLive.fm, and we thank you all for being a part of it! With the impending release of Green Day’s 14th studio album Saviors, and a huge stadium tour to follow, it promises to be an exciting year to come.
But before we move on to the year ahead it’s time to wrap up 2023 by looking back at the new stories, releases, songs and r/GreenDay posts that had us talking in the last 12 months.
