Green Day opened the Super Bowl tonight with an opening ceremony medley of some of their biggest songs – watch footage below.
The band took to the field at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, near their East Bay hometown, tonight (February 8), in a special opening ceremony that paid tribute to the history of Super Bowl on its 60th anniversary.
As they opened with an instrumental snippet of ‘Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)’, they were backed by an orchestral arrangement, while a parade of former Super Bowl MVPs were introduced to the huge crowd.
From there, the medley morphed into ‘Holiday’ and shortened versions of ‘Boulevard Of Broken Dreams’ and ‘American Idiot’, all from the 2004 album of the same name. Frontman Billie Joe Armstrong did not, however, sing the tweaked line “I’m not part of the MAGA agenda” as he has done at recent shows.
As they wrapped up their set, Armstrong shouted: “Welcome to the Bay! It’s Super Bowl LX!”
