Harmonix have announced that Green Day Rock Band will be released worldwide on June 8th.

Up to six players (that’s three instruments and three mics) will be able to progress through the career of the, formerly awesome, punk trio. Like The Beatles: Rock Band, players will be able to unlock collectible images, as well as some “rare and unreleased” footage as you progress.

The disc comes loaded with 47 tracks including: ‘Brain Stew’, ‘Jaded’ and ‘American Idiot’ (which you can see in the trailer below). Rock Band fans will be happy to know that all of the tracks will be exportable to Rock Band, Rock Band 2 and, the recently announced, Rock Band 3. As per usual, there will be an ‘export fee’ of $9.99 if you want to play these songs elsewhere. The two Green Day track packs that have already been released will also get the vocal harmonizing features as well as some “unique” visuals and more “exclusive archival material”.

Green Day: Rock Band will be released as a standalone package for £39.99/$59.99 (RRP) on June 8th. Alongside this there’ll be a premium version of the game. Green Day: Rock Band Plus will cost an extra ten of your chosen currency. This version will have some extra special packaging and the export feature packed in and the six Green Day tracks that have already been released (presumably in download code form).

GameStop have announced that you’ll get the export code as a pre-order bonus, so if you want to add those tracks to Rock Band for free and you’re in North America, you know where to drop your cash.
