Green Day's recent album '21st Century Breakdown' has inspired an art exhibition to be unveiled in an east London gallery in October.The show will be held at the StolenSpace from Oct. 22 and will feature 21 pieces of art inspired by the band's most recent opus.
"We're really excited to be associated with this incredible show," Green Day's frontman Billie Joe Armstrong remarked. "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."
It's not the first out-of-left-field artistic event to be inspired by the Californian pop punks. A musical based on the band's 2004 epic anti-George W. Bush album 'American Idiot' opened in Berkeley, Calif. -- the band's hometown -- last week. The musical features all of the album as a soundtrack to the narrative.
The exhibition will run until Nov. 1, timing in with the band's UK concert tour.
