¡Tré! is the upcoming eleventh studio album by the American punk rock band Green Day. It is the final installment in the ¡Uno! ¡Dos! ¡Tré! trilogy, a series of studio albums to be released from September 2012 to January 2013.

Green Day started recording material for a new album on February 14, 2012 and finished on June 26, 2012. The album is set to be released on January 14, 2013 in the United Kingdom and the next day in the United States through Reprise Records, and was produced by their long-time producer Rob Cavallo.

Recording and release

On April 11, Green Day announced through a press release that, they would be releasing a trilogy of albums titled ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, and ¡Tré! and stated that they would be released on September 25, 2012, November 13, 2012, and January 15, 2013, respectively, through Reprise Records.[2][3] On August 22, Armstrong gave preview of some songs through his iPhone on Zane Lowe's show on BBC Radio 1 in the UK. The preview included brief snippets of "8th Ave Serenade" and "Stray Heart". The track listing for ¡Tré! was revealed at the beginning of their video for the promotional single "Nuclear Family" from ¡Uno!.Cite error: The <ref> tag has too many names (see the help page). The song "99 Revolutions" previously appeared in the film The Campaign.

Sound and Themes

Where ¡Uno! was a power pop album and with ¡Dos! reported to have a more raunchy garage rock theme, Billie Joe Armstrong has stated that ¡Tré! will be geared more towards stadium rock and will have more of a grandiose sound complete with string arrangements and brass sections. He also went on to say that the mood of ¡Tré! will be "reflective" and explained the album would be a "mixed bag" with the sound fluctuating from the punk rock feel of Dookie and Insomniac, the experimental elements of Nimrod and Warning and finally finishing with the stadium rock/rock opera sound taken from American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown.
