Green Day have announced a signature brewer and coffee kit to mark the 20th anniversary of ‘American Idiot’.
As well as hitting the road with the Smashing Pumpkins and Rancid on the ‘Saviors’ stadium tour to mark the anniversary of their 2004 album, the pop-punk trio have now released an ‘American Idiot’-inspired collab with Keurig.
In partnership with Punk Bunny Coffee, the coffee company the band founded in 2015, the anniversary edition brewer will feature the iconic album artwork and retails at $159.99 – although as of today (August 21) it is sold out, but fans can sign up to be notified when it’s back in stock.
Per Keurig’s website, the Green Day bundle comes with “a custom Keurig K-Iced Plus™ brewer, an iced coffee tumbler, twelve Punk Bunny Soundcheck K-Cup coffee pods, and access to a Spotify playlist curated by the band”.
“We are on the road celebrating 20 years of ‘American Idiot’ all summer,” said frontman Billie Joe Armstrong in a press release. “Our buses and back stages have been stocked with our coffee company’s first ever signature brewer. Now, we can finally announce this release and hope you guys love it as much as we do.”

The band have also announced an expanded 20th anniversary reissue of the classic album, featuring a new documentary and various unreleased tracks.
The upcoming box set, which is set to arrive on October 25, boasts 15 unreleased ‘American Idiot’ demos, a 15-track 2004 live show recorded at Irving Plaza in New York City, nine previously unreleased live recordings (including a cover of Queen’s ‘We Are The Champions’) and 14 songs previously available only as B-Sides and bonus tracks.
One of the Blu-rays will house a brand-new, 110-minute documentary film titled 20 Years Of American Idiot. The other disc features the Heart Like A Hand Grenade movie, which documents “nine months with Green Day” as they record ‘American Idiot’.
Completing the anniversary package are new liner notes written by Rob Cavallo and Rolling Stone’s David Fricke. You can pre-order/pre-save here.
