If you're a Green Day fan with a large enough backyard, you might be able to book the band for a show within the next month.

Billie Joe Armstrong took to Instagram and said in a video, "Hey, looks like our new record’s coming out in a month or something, so we’re just planning some stuff, some surprises. But one thing I was thinking is … does anybody have, like, a relatively big backyard that we can do, like, a backyard party somewhere? Maybe come play at your house, your garage,  your backyard? Or do you have a barn? Or is there a church or a church parking lot? Or, you know … I was conceived in a church parking lot! Anyway, just hijinks, fun, mischief. Backyard party with your favorite band, Green Day! Oh yeah, it’d have to be in California."

Whether or not this show is booked only time will tell, but regardless, Father of All... will come out February 7. Fingers crossed the band pull this off!
