Green Day have commissioned 21 original pieces of art inspired by their most recent album release, '21st Century Breakdown'.

The paintings will be shown exclusively at the StolenSpace Gallery in Shoreditch, East London from October 22nd until November 1st to coincide with Green Day’s sold out UK concert tour.

It will open the day before the band’s two sold-out performances at the O2 Arena in London.

Speaking of the exhibition lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong said, "We‘re really excited to be associated with this incredible show. Seeing the pieces that our new album has inspired is very exciting.

We feel a strong connection to that type of creative expression; we think the fans coming out will love it."

Each of the collaborating artists (Including painter Ron English and French stencil artist C215) were each sent the album's lyrics and asked to produce a piece of art that reflected that song.
