Green Day Teases Anniversary Plans as ‘Dookie’ Turns 30
Dookie is turning 30 early next year, and it looks like the band has something special planned for the anniversary.
The iconic Green Day album first arrived on February 1, 1994, with a name grossly poking fun at the series of unfortunate events that happened to the band members while on tour. Dookie is a reference to band members suffering diarrhea from often eating spoiled food on tour. Green Day initially thought to name the album Liquid Dookie but eventually settled on Dookie due to the explicit I nature.
With a hashtag #Dookie30 and a photo of a tape deck, the band is teasing that something special coming in the way. Though the exact seems vague from the photo.
The pop-punk veterans have been a band full of surprises, and they have a track record of delivering what they teased. Back in 2019, after teasing a performance featuring the entirety of their 1994 album, they delivered by surprising fans with a last-minute Madrid show performing the entire Dookie album.
Last month, Green Day debuted a new song titled “1981” during their set at d‘Tee de Quebec in Canada.
