Green Day have announced a massive box set to celebrate the 20th anniversary of American Idiot, out October 25th.

Available as an 8xLP or 4xCD collection, the deluxe edition includes 15 unreleased demo recordings, a live performance of the band’s 2004 concert at Irving Plaza, b-side, and bonus tracks. Additionally, each set comes with Blu-Ray discs featuring the documentary Heart Like a Hand Grenade, various live performances, and a new 110-documentary 20 Years of American Idiot.

Each edition comes with its own set of bonus goods as well. The vinyl set has a 36-page book, a Green Day flag, and a replica of Billie Joe Armstrong’s iconic red tie. The CD box set includes a 48-page book, enamel pin set, sticker sheet, and cloth patch.
