Green Day announce massive Nimrod anniversary edition, stream previously-unreleased song

Happy 25th birthday to Green Day’s Nimrod! To celebrate, the band have announced a lovely, shiny new anniversary edition of the record, and shared previously-unreleased track You Irritate Me.

And You Irritate Me won’t be the only ‘new’ song fans are getting with this release, because – as well as the original album – Nimrod 25 – 25th Anniversary Edition will feature a bunch of demos also including the never-before-heard Tre Polka and a cover of Elvis Costello’s Alison. Ooooh…

There’s also going to be a mammoth accompanying live set from Philadelphia’s Electric Factory, which was recorded on November 14, 1997 – one month after Nimrod’s release. Keep scrolling to see both tracklists.

“Big anniversary today!!” say Green Day. “Nimrod is 25 years old. Already?? Where has the time gone?! We’re re-releasing the album at the top of new year on January 27 with 14 previously unreleased demos and Live at The Electric Factory (which include 15 more unreleased tracks).”
