To celebrate the return of football to the Superdome and aid in the city’s rebuilding, U2 and Green Day will debut their special new benefit single on Monday Night Football.

I’m a big U2 fan so I’m not surprised they’re doing this especially since The Edge’s Music Rising charity fund, which he started after the hurricane, provides relief to New Orleans’ musicians. Green Day though, I’m actually impressed by their involvement. They just don’t sit around and spend all their money on eyeliner like most bands in their genre do. Eyeliner isn’t punk. Playing a benefit gig is.

They’re set to play their cover of The Skids “The Saints Are Coming” and a few other tunes on September 25th.

Here’s a video (taken by a tourist) of a photoshoot the bands did together at the famous Abbey Road crosswalk in London.
