Green Day’s Super Bowl Set Signals Restraint Over Politics

Green Day delivered a comparatively tame Super Bowl LX performance at Levi’s Stadium, opening with Good Riddance before playing Holiday (skipping the controversial bridge that mocked a president) and Boulevard of Broken Dreams, and then performing American Idiot with the MAGA verse omitted. Former Super Bowl MVPs joined on stage, underscoring a ceremonial moment rather than the bold political statement some expected, following the band’s past criticisms of ICE.
