Green Day have announced that they will play a free show at LA’s The Palladium next week, which will be featured in their upcoming movie ‘New Years Rev’.
Following the recent casting call seeking “punks, alts, hardcore, emo and rockers”, it’s another chance for fans to serve as extras in ‘New Years Rev’.
Taking place next Tuesday (March 25), the Palladium show will feature as a New Year’s Eve concert scene in the film, with the band set to play “a few songs – a lot of times (and maybe a few others)”.
With filming expected to take between 10 and 11 hours, it’s going to be a long day, but fans (over the age of 18) can sign up here for a chance to be a part of it.
Take a look at the band’s announcement post below:
Last month, Live Nation Productions announced that Lee Kirk will write and direct ‘New Years Rev’, based on the legendary band’s days travelling and touring in a van prior to their breakout success in the early 90s. The band’s members, Billie Joe Armstrong, Tre Cool and Mike Dirnt, will all serve as producers on the project.
Mason Thames, Kylr Coffman and Ryan Foust will star as three friends who head to Los Angeles after mistakenly believing they have been booked to open for Green Day at a New Years Eve show. The cast also features ‘The Office’ stars Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey.
On the movie news, Armstrong has said:
“Van days rule. You will drive all night on no sleep then play a show for 10 kids in a basement of a friend of a friend’s house 50 miles east of anywhere you’ve ever heard of. But you’ll do it again the next day, and the one after that. Because you’re doing it with your bandmates who become your family and it’s unlike anything you’ve ever known. It’s electric. Let the music and mischief ensue.”
Green Day will return to the UK this summer when they headline Download Festival alongside Sleep Token and Korn. The event will take place at Donington Park on June 13-15.
