Green Day are among those helping to pay for a gay-friendly prom in Mississippi next month. The annual prom is organized by the Mississippi Safe Schools Coalition. This year's event has drawn attention because of the case of Constance McMillen, a high school senior who challenged her school district's rule banning same-sex dates at proms.

Below is a video of Green Day doing their soundcheck at Marlay Park in Dublin earlier today. In the video they play a new song we haven't heard before. We don't have a title, but "Stay the Night" seems likely/appropriate. The song starts at about 30 seconds into the video, and it's really good.
