Loveable punk rock revivalists Green Day are set to head into the studio with wannabe Irish punks, U2.
The bands will record a cover of 'The Saints Are Coming', originally recorded by Scottish punk band The Skids.The song will benefit Music Rising (www.musicrising.org), a charity set up to put instruments back in the hands of New Orleans' famed musicians, who lost everything in Hurricane Katrina.
It will be the first time Green Day have recorded since their mammoth 'American Idiot' album, which is one of the most successful albums in history. It also acknowledges their place in the music ladder, with U2 rarely recording or performing with others as a full band (sure, Bono has done a few).
U2's last duet was with Paul McCartney at Live 8 in London.
