Green Day announced details of new album ‘Father Of All…’ last month alongside details of a joint headlining tour with Weezer and Fall Out Boy.

All three bands dropped new music to unveil the Hella Mega Tour, which will take them to arenas in Europe, the UK and North America. They also warmed up for the tour with a tiny show at Los Angeles’ Whisky-A-Go-Go.

For the album, frontman Billie Joe Armstrong has said he “drew no inspiration” from Donald Trump, stated in a recent interview: “Trump gives me diarrhoea, you know? I don’t want to write a song about it!”

Green Day recently premiered new track ‘Fire, Ready, Aim’ from the album as part of an NHL montage, while also sharing a video for the album’s title track and unveiling their own brew of coffee.
