Billie Joe posts photo of Green Day jamming at rehearsals

By Matt /Aug. 3, 2016 / Comments

Billie Joe is once again making us go crazy with his Instagram posts. Just a few minutes ago, he posted a photo of him and the rest of the band in their rehearsal space jamming some songs.

In the photo behind Billie Joe, left to right, are Jason White, Jeff Matika, Tré Cool, Jason Freese, and Mike Dirnt.

The post pretty much confirms that the band is currently rehearsing for a potential upcoming (yet to be announced) tour or set of shows. This past weekend, it was speculated the band had started when Jeff Matika posted a photo of some guitars and equipment, including some of Billie Joe's guitars.
