Watch Green Day perform rarities & air new songs at intimate Rough Trade gig

Including material for the first time in 15 years

Green Day launched their new album ‘Revolution Radio’ with an intimate show at Rough Trade in New York – debuting new songs and treating fans to rarities and old classics.

Taking to the stage, the band opened with ‘Somewhere New’ from ‘Revolution Radio’ – giving the track its live debut. They also performed ‘Insomniac’ classic ‘Armatage Shanks’ for the first time since 2010 and early cut ‘Why Do You Want Him?’ from 1990’s ‘Slappy’ EP for the first time in 15 years.

As well as taking requests from fans, the show was a career-spanning set – leaning as heavily on their 90s material as it did their latter day releases.
