Most music fans know Billie Joe Armstrong as the frontman of the iconic '90s punk rock group Green Day, and with good reason: Green Day is still just as popular as ever, as their massive 2025 tour proved. But, like so many rock stars, Armstrong has more than one musical iron in the fire — and now Pinhead Gunpowder, the beloved supergroup that serves as Armstrong's side project, is gearing up to hit the road.
As the band announced in a new Instagram post, Pinhead Gunpowder —which, in addition to Armstrong, includes Aaron Cometbus, Bill Schneider, and Green Day touring guitarist Jason White — will be heading out on a tour of North America this fall, kicking off on October 7 in Minneapolis. The jaunt will go on to include stops in cities including Detroit, NYC, Philadelphia, Seattle and San Francisco before it wraps up in Garden Grove, Calif., on Nov. 11.
Fans on social media were thrilled to hear the news, with one writing, "This has been my dream since the 90s… and it’s finally coming true! Thank you for including Minneapolis!"
"This goes beyond the wildest dream. What an amazing gift, guys," added a second person, with a third commenter declaring, "THANK YOU FOR THAT DETROIT DATE!!!!! Giving me a reason to stay alive as always!!!"
Billie Joe Armstrong called Pinhead Gunpowder's 'supergroup' label absurd
In a 2024 interview with New Noise Magazine, Armstrong reflected on Pinhead Gunpowder's roots.
“It’s funny. I think we started calling it a project and as soon as we put out our first seven inch," recalls Armstrong {referring to the band's 1991 release).
“The snarky East Bay punk kids started calling us a super group, which was so absurd," he continued. "And it’s even more absurd thinking about it now. I think it sort of evolved into a real band just because it’s a real relationship and a real kind of work ethic that goes along with writing new material and getting together and jamming together, and just hanging out.”
As Armstrong explained, the fact that the members of the band have always brought their own individual experiences to the table "keeps things interesting."
“I learned from Aaron, and he talks about how much to write five pages of lyrics, but it’s also for me," he said. "I was so young when we started. When I was 18, it made me realize how important lyrics are in songs and stuff like that. And I think that’s one thing that I learned from Aaron in particular.”
“I think also we grew up together and we still are growing up kind of,” Cometbus added, noting that "Jason’s voice is better than it ever has been. It got richer, it got a little more of a swagger over time, a little more of a lip, a little more attitude, more life experience, and just more comfort. It’s cool too to get to a place where everyone has their own ideas and they’re more confident about them.”
