“The Twitch community is passionate about a lot of emerging content beyond gaming, with music being one of the areas they’ve rallied around,” said Mary Kish, Senior Producer at Twitch Studios. “Because our community thrives off the shared viewing experience, being able to live stream world premiere videos, including Green Day’s “Revolution Radio,” is going to add an engaging twist to the event.”
Green Day are currently touring Europe in support of Revolution Radio and will return to the U.S. for the second North American leg of the tour on August 1, which will include stops at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Wrigley Field in Chicago, and the Oakland Alameda County Coliseum.
