"East Bay stalwarts Green Day brought fiery punk rock energy to Super Bowl LX, performing a medley of songs from their 2004 classic, American Idiot. They stopped short of making an explicit political statement onstage, instead letting the songs speak for themselves. After a brief teaser of "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)," the trio delivered a lively set beginning with "Holiday," which transitioned into "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," and a not-too-subtle rendition of "American Idiot.""
"Before Green Day took the stage, Coco Jones kicked off the pre-game festivities at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara with a rendition of "Lift Every Voice and Sing." Brandi Carlile followed with "America the Beautiful," with Charlie Puth singing the national anthem. On Friday night, frontman Billie Joe Armstrong took a moment during the band's set at The FanDuel Party Powered by Spotify to denounce ICE, while also referencing Minneapolis and Jeffrey Epstein."
