Speaking to the band’s own Oakland Coffee company for its ‘Morning Roast’ interview series, Mike Dirnt was asked what he had coming up that he was most looking forward to.
“New music… and unknown adventures,” he replied.
It was also recently announced that Green Day are getting their own Funko Pop! dolls.
The new dolls are modelled on the band’s 2004 video for ‘American Idiot’, which saw Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool dressed up in black shirts with coloured ties.
