Green Day announce 21st Century Breakdown

Green Day have announced the release of their eighth studio album: 21st Century Breakdown.

The album is out worldwide on May 15th and is the trio's first album since 2004's
long player American Idiot, which sold 12 million copies.

21st Century Breakdown is divided into three acts: Heroes and Cons, Charlatans and Saints and Horseshoes and Handgrenades. It follows a young couple Christian and Gloria through the mess and promise of the century so far.

Song titles announced are: Know Your Enemy, 21 Guns, East Jesus Nowhere, Before the Lobotomy, and Restless Heart Syndrome.

The band has been working on the album since early 2006 with producer Butch Vig, most famous for his work with Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins and Garbage.

The first single from 21st Century Breakdown is Know your Enemy, out in April.

In addition Green Day recently announced that an opera version of their album American Idiot will be staged in Berkeley, California from September-October this year.
