Green Day's new Awesome album due out March 22

Green Day will release its new live CD/DVD, Awesome As F**k, on March 22, the band confirmed Wednesday.

The set, whose title Green Day officially announced earlier this week in a YouTube trailer, was recorded during the punk trio's 21st Century Breakdown tour in 2009-2010. The DVD footage was shot at the band's Tokyo, Japan shows last January.

As previously reported, Green Day first revealed it was working on a new live album at an August 2010 concert in Denver. Awesome As F**k is the band's second live set, after 2005's Bullet in a Bible.

Green Day's last studio album, 21st Century Breakdown, was released in 2009 and has sold 1 million copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan, while prior album American Idiot sold 6 million and spawned a Broadway musical of the same name.

Frontman Billie Joe Armstrong is currently playing the role of St. Jimmy on the show for 50 dates running through February 27.
