Green Day release cover of Blondie classic Dreaming




Green Day are streaming video of their newly-released cover of the 1979 Blondie classic, “Dreaming.”

The band previewed the song’s arrival on social media this week with an image of Billie Joe Armstrong’s dog sleeping and thinking about the group performing in concert.

“Lenny has been ‘Dreaming’ of being back out on the road, so the three of us thought we’d lend the soundtrack,” said Green Day.

“This isn’t a dream, or a drill; our cover of Blondie’s 'Dreaming' is out everywhere now," added the band alongside its release. "This video's for all of you. We can't wait to see your faces when we're back out in the world.”

“Dreaming” was the lead single to Blondie’s fourth album, “Eat To The Beat”; the song was a No. 2 hit on the UK charts and a Top 30 hit in the US, where the project went on to sell a million copies in America.

This week, Green Day, Weezer and Fall Out Boy postponed the North American leg of their 2020 Hella Mega tour; the summer stadium series was scheduled to begin July 17 in Seattle, WA, with dates running to the end of August.
