Green Day: Rock Band is now available across North American on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii.

Green Day, along with Harmonix, today announced that Green Day: Rock Band is now available across North American on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii, and on June 11 in Europe.

Green Day: Rock Band features 47 on disc songs, including Dookie and American Idiot, as well as the entirety of 21st Century Breakdown, with the added support of six previously released downloadable songs. The game takes place in three venues that capture the energy from Green Day’s early punk years to the arena shows that the band is known for all over the world.

“I think people will hopefully be impressed with the pictures and video we’ve included from throughout our career,” said Billie Joe Armstrong, vocalist and guitarist for Green Day.

“We thought we could have a lot of fun making a Rock Band game and highlight different times in our career, since we’re using so many songs,” said Mike Dirnt, bassist for Green Day. “We just thought it was a cool way to show people something different.”

“There will be some people who know every single song on the disc, which is awesome,” said Tré Cool, Green Day’s drummer. “But for those who don’t, it’s a great way to discover some of the older material.”
