"I thought about San Francisco. I thought about all the incredible music that has come out of it. I thought about one band in particular that would be perfect."
"And I love this band for so many reasons," she continued. "I love it because of the rawness, the authenticity the message behind it, the space that it holds for people who feel like sometimes they might not belong. I loved listening to this album in particular when I was little."
Dua Lipa brought Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong onstage at the Chase Center in San Francisco to perform a duet of "Wake Me Up When September Ends." A fan video shows Armstrong singing the first verse solo and Lipa joining on the chorus with the audience singing along. Dua Lipa said she selects a local song at each tour stop and praised one band for its rawness, authenticity, message and inclusivity. She said she listened to the album American Idiot as a child; that album was released in 2004 when she was nine. The show was the second of two Radical Optimism tour dates at the venue.
