Green Day Lights Up Super Bowl LX Pre-Show With a Ballad-Heavy, High-Energy Set
Green Day headlined the Super Bowl LX pre-show at Levi’s Stadium, opening with an instrumental of Good Riddance before powering through Holiday, Boulevard of Broken Dreams, and American Idiot, with Billie Joe Armstrong shouting a Bay Area welcome. The Bay Area trio—Armstrong, Dirnt, and Cool—have five Grammys and Rock Hall induction. Other pregame acts included Charlie Puth (national anthem), Brandi Carlile (America the Beautiful), and Coco Jones (Lift Every Voice and Sing); Bad Bunny is set for the halftime show. Armstrong later made a provocative ICE-related remark at a separate Spotify-sponsored event, telling agents to quit their jobs. The game itself features the Patriots vs. Seahawks rematch in a 2026 setting.
