Green Day's getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The trio will be immortalized on Hollywood Boulevard on May 1. The unveiling ceremony is set to begin at 11:30am PT and will be livestreamed on the Walk of Fame's website.
Actor Ryan Reynolds and tennis star Serena Williams (who happens to be a MASSIVE Green Day fan) are set to speak. Former MTV personality Matt Pinfield is set to host the ceremony, which is miraculous considering he suffered a stroke at the beginning of the year and woke up from a months-long coma just last month.
“The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is honored to welcome Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool to the Hollywood Walk of Fame,” Walk of Fame producer Ana Martinez said in a statement. “Green Day’s music has not only inspired generations but also served as the soundtrack to our lives.”
Once it's revealed, fans can find Green Day's star at 6212 Hollywood Boulevard, which is conveniently located outside of the famed record store Amoeba Music and nearby fellow California rockers Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Green Day's playing the festival circuit this year. They just wrapped up headlining Coachella and also plan to headline festivals including Welcome to Rockville, Oceans Calling and Riot Fest, among others. They're also gearing up to release a deluxe edition of their latest album Saviors on May 23 that features five new songs.
