According to the BBCthe image dated 1978 was made by Chris Steele-Perkins, during the so-called conflicts in Northern Ireland. The boy with the stone would be, more specifically, on Falls Road, in Belfast. The political disputes that lasted around 30 years took the lives of more than 3500 people.
Fans speculate, on Reddit, that the band’s cover indicates a return to Belfast, a capital that hasn’t been visited since 2017 (via BBC). Himself GreenDayhowever, commented on the meaning of the album and the photo:
