"Green Day will join U2 and Music Rising, the campaign launched to help bring the music back to the Gulf Coast Region destroyed by Katrina, for a special show before ESPN's Monday Night Football game between the Atlanta Falcons and New Orleans Saints at the Louisiana Superdome on Monday, September 25, 2006. The show will be featured on Rhapsody. Shortly after the event, fans will have the ability to buy a download from U2 and Green Day's performance via Rhapsody. All net proceeds will go directly to Music Rising. U2 and Green Day will debut "The Saints Are Coming," a song originally written and performed in 1978 by The Skids, to officially launch Music Rising Phase II, which will provide musical instruments to churches and schools."1
