Cult coffee brand Grind announces their new collaboration with iconic American rock band Green Day and their recently launched coffee company, Punk Bunny Coffee. Together they’re launching a limited edition ready-to-drink Iced Matcha Latte in celebration of Green Day’s 2024 Saviors tour and the anniversaries of Dookie (30 years) and American Idiot (20 years).
During their sold out Wembley concert on Saturday 29th June, the band will share a first look of their collaboration with Grind to over five million followers on their social channels, with the Iced Matcha Latte being their pre-performance drink of choice. The drink joins Grind’s range of ready-to-drink iced coffee cans as its first canned matcha and will be available to purchase from 16th July exclusively online at grind.co.uk.
“The UK has been a second home to Green Day for 35 years. Some of our favourite memories are playing shows in every corner of Great Britain. Over the last few years, we’ve spent time at football games, recording our album Saviors in London and drinking English coffee. Partnering our Punk Bunny Coffee company with Grind is the perfect way to end our UK tour and celebrate Saviors, Dookie, and Idiot.”
Billie Joe Armstrong, Lead Singer of Green Day
Green Day discovered their favourite British coffee brand, Grind, while recording their fourteenth studio album, Saviors, in London. The critically acclaimed album was released in January of this year. The band also launched their own coffee company this year, Punk Bunny Coffee, which shares Grind’s sustainable and ethical values, donating a portion of every purchase to a number of different charities.
Known for their global popularisation of punk rock in the late 90s and early 2000s, the Grammy Award-winning band are one of the best-selling music artists in the world. The Saviors tour not only celebrates Green Day’s latest release, but the 30th and 20th anniversaries of Dookie and American Idiot.
“Our partnership with Green Day is an exciting, albeit unexpected, collaboration that would have our early 2000s selves buzzing. We’re huge fans of the band at Grind, and we’re incredibly proud to have caught the attention of such globally-loved artists. Iced Matcha has been on our radar for a while now, and this has been the perfect opportunity to create our own.”
David Abrahamovitch, Founder & CEO of Grind
