Green Day's Tour Life Inspires New Comedy Film 'NIMRODS'
A new comedy film, 'NIMRODS,' inspired by Green Day's tour life, is set to hit theaters this summer. Co-produced by the band, the film follows a group of friends on a misadventure, believing they're opening for Green Day on New Year's Eve.
Get ready for a wild ride! A movie inspired by Green Day's own experiences is coming to the big screen.
Inaugural Entertainment announced Tuesday (May 12) that its Green Day-inspired comedy NIMRODS — named after the band’s 1997 Billboard 200 top 10 album Nimrod — will hit theaters this summer. Inaugural Entertainment is partnering with Legion M, the world’s first fan-owned entertainment company, for the release.
Directed by Lee Kirk, NIMRODS is a coming-of-age film that follows three friends who embark on a cross-country road trip to Los Angeles. Their goal? To open for Green Day at a New Year’s Eve show, or so they mistakenly believe. The film draws inspiration from Green Day’s early years of touring.

Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tre Cool are producing the film alongside Ryan Kroft and Michael Rapino of Live Nation Entertainment, Tim Perell for Process, and Jonathan Daniel.
Legion M co-founders Jeff Annison and Paul Scanlan highlighted the band's connection with their fans, stating, “Green Day wouldn’t exist without the fans, and we’re excited to give those fans the opportunity to own a stake in the film.”
NIMRODS, initially titled New Year’s Rev, premiered at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival and is slated for release on Aug. 14.
