Green Day landed one of its biggest hits with their 2004 single “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” — now, 20 years later, the trio’s dreams are coming true over on Hollywood Boulevard. The veteran rock band is set to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Thursday, May 1 at 11:30 a.m. PT. Tennis legend Serena Williams and actor/producer Ryan Reynolds are set as guest speakers. Radio and TV personality Matt Pinfield will emcee.
The band’s star is located at 6212 Hollywood Boulevard, which, appropriately, is adjacent to Amoeba Music. The event will be streamed live at the Walk of Fame’s website. This will be the 2,810th star ceremony since the famed tourist attraction opened in 1960.
The veteran rock trio was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2015. They have won five Grammys, including the 2006 award for record of the year for the aforementioned “Boulevard of Broken Dreams.”
“The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is honored to welcome Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool to the Hollywood Walk of Fame,” Ana Martinez, Walk of Fame producer, said in a statement. “Green Day’s music has not only inspired generations but also served as the soundtrack to our lives.”
The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce administers the Walk of Fame for the City of Los Angeles and has hosted the star ceremonies for decades.
Formed in 1986 in Berkeley, California, Green Day has amassed 12 top 10 albums on the Billboard 200, including three that reached No. 1 – American Idiot (2004), 21st Century Breakdown (2009) and Revolution Radio (2016). They have had two top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” and ‘Wake Me Up When September Ends.”
The band performed for more than 200,000 people at this year’s Coachella, headlining both Saturday nights.
Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso honored Shyne with a key to the city during a ceremony held at the East Flatbush Young Men’s Mentorship Expo on Saturday. The recognition highlighted both his influence in hip hop and his contributions as a public figure and advocate. Reynoso also declared April 25, 2026 as “Shyne Day” in Brooklyn.
“Shyne embodies what is possible when a community believes in its young people, and the magic that can happen when young people are given the resources they need to thrive. East Flatbush raised Shyne, and it only made sense to present him with the Key to Brooklyn as we team up to deliver hope and opportunity to dozens of young men today,” Reynoso said at the event, as caught by BK Reader.
Shyne also addressed the crowd. “This is the community that raised me, and it’s important for me to pass that love forward,” he said. “There couldn’t be a better way to celebrate this milestone than coming back home and pouring into the next generation.” He also revealed that everyone in attendance would receive complimentary tickets to his 25th anniversary concert on May 2 at the Kings Theatre.
The show will mark 25 years since the release of his self titled debut studio album, which arrived on September 26, 2000. Even while Shyne was incarcerated at the time, the project debuted and reached number five on the Billboard 200 chart. It moved close to 160,000 units in its opening week.
Earlier this week, Shyne posted a video of himself standing outside the Kings Theatre on Instagram while promoting the upcoming performance. "Can’t wait to see you this Saturday, May 2 @kingsbklyn as we celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Shyne Album…..the celebration will continue @crownhilltheatre where I will meet, take pictures and party with you, my loyal supporters, who’ve made Shyne a Rap Legend," he captioned the post. Fans filled the comments with fire emojis in response.
