The five-time Grammy Award-winning band has unearthed a number of live U.K. performances and now they’ve put many of them together into a brand new, 16-track live record that will feature songs from shows at the legendary British Maida Vale Studios from 1994, 1996, 1998, and 2001.

The new record will feature hits from the Hall of Fame band like “When I Come Around,” “She” and “Basket Case.” The music will be available on CD, digital, and limited-edition 2LP vinyl configurations.

Green Day, with the rock bands Weezer and Fall Out Boy, recently finished a giant headlining tour called The Big Hella Mega Tour, which hit dozens of cities. Check out this moment where Green Day surprised its co-headlining compatriots, Weezer, on stage.
