Green Day Set to Receive Hollywood Walk of Fame Star May 1

Green Day will be honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on May 1, with the ceremony taking place outside Amoeba Music at 6212 Hollywood Boulevard and streamed live online. Guest speakers include tennis legend Serena Williams and actor Ryan Reynolds, with Matt Pinfield serving as emcee. The recognition comes after a milestone year for the band, which included headlining Coachella and a Grammy-nominated album, as well as their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2015. The band drew attention at Coachella by altering lyrics in 'Jesus of Suburbia' to reference the Israel-Gaza conflict, sparking conversations among fans. Green Day's enduring influence is highlighted by their string of hit albums and singles, and they have upcoming performances and projects planned, including a global tour and a deluxe album release. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce praised Green Day for inspiring generations and serving as the soundtrack to many lives.
