Q’s latest cover stars Green Day have announced that their much anticipated follow-up to American Idiot will be released on May 15.
The band’s eighth studio album, called 21st Century Breakdown, is a three-act piece divided into Heroes And Cons, Charlatans And Saints and Horseshoes And Handgrenades sections featuring two recurring characters Gloria and Christian.
The lead single Know Your Enemy will be on sale next month. You can read all about the making of the Butch Vig-produced album and a track-by-track summation – by the band – in the new edition of Q, out now.

Kasabian have announced plans to give away their next single as a free download. The track Vlad The Impaler will be available for four days from March 31. It will be available from the band's website.
"It's a techno-punk song. We're never going to write a record that's as a soft as teacakes," singer Tom Meighan told the new edition of Q.
You can read more about the band’s forthcoming third album – out on June 1 – in Q's ‘in the studio’ feature in the new edition.
