Revolution Radio is the twelfth studio album by American punk rock band Green Day, released on October 7, 2016, through Reprise Records. The album's lead single, "Bang Bang", premiered on August 11, 2016. Prior to the album's release, its title track, "Revolution Radio", and "Still Breathing" were also released, on September 9 and September 23, respectively. At the album's release date, the official lyric video for "Youngblood" was uploaded on their website. On October 12, a lyric video for the song "Ordinary World" was released. On October 19, another lyric video was released: the song "Say Goodbye". On November 7, a music video was released for "Still Breathing". It was released as the second official single from the album. On January 16, a lyric video was released for "Troubled Times".

It is Green Day's first album since 21st Century Breakdown (2009) to be recorded as a trio after Jason White returned to being a touring member in 2016.

The album received generally positive reviews from music critics, appearing on multiple year-end lists, and earned 95,000 first-week album-equivalent units in the US to debut at number one on the Billboard 200. Revolution Radio also debuted at number one in the UK, Ireland, Italy, Canada and New Zealand.

Work on Revolution Radio began in 2014 following the band's 99 Revolutions Tour, in support of ¡Uno! ¡Dos! and ¡Tré!.

After stating that their previous trilogy of albums had "absolutely no direction to them" and attempted to be "prolific for the sake of it," lead singer and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong claims that their new record is "not so much a makeover as a make under." The lead single, "Bang Bang," described by Armstrong is about "the culture of mass shooting that happens in America mixed with narcissistic social media." Armstrong also stated that the whole album is meant to reflect the current state of violence in the United States.
