Harmonix has confirmed that they are not planning to support any additional contents for Green Day: Rock Band due to the nature of how the tracks are incorporated into the upcoming music game. According to the games Project Lead Chris Foster:

 

One of the reasons we could do open-ended DLC for The Beatles [Rock Band] is that it’s all tiny clips, and we could just reconfigure them for different songs as needed — and dreamscape backgrounds similarly had that. With this, we’re really creating sculpted experiences for every single song; there’s an animation that plays all the way through, pretty much. That’s something that’s not really practical to do open-ended. So we decided we were going to make DLC just about finishing 21st Century Breakdown, using the DLC that was already out. That created a great three-album game, and also let us give each of those [six DLC tracks] unique assets, more than we could easily pack into a DLC pack. Those songs have their own video-wall assets, their own [motion capture].

 

Green Day: Rock Band will be released on the PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii on June 8, 2010.
