"Puerto Rican global superstar Bad Bunny was selected to perform at this year's halftime show, while Green Day was chosen to headline the opener. The East Bay trio, made up of Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tre Cool, is expected to perform some of their biggest hits as they celebrate 60 years of the NFL's MVP award. We are super hyped to open Super Bowl 60 right in our backyard! Armstrong said in an NFL press release."
"The band formed under the name Sweet Children in the mid-1980s, when Armstrong and Dirnt were classmates at Carquinez Middle School in Crockett. While at Pinole Valley High School, the two met Tre Cool, and not long after he joined the band, they became Green Day. The band released its first album, 39/Smooth, in 1990 but didn't gain a mass audience until the release of Dookie in 1994."
Green Day will open the Super Bowl LX opening ceremony at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, performing for a Bay Area crowd and an estimated global television audience. Over 90,000 people are expected in the Bay Area and an estimated 130 million viewers are expected to watch. Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny will perform the halftime show while Green Day headlines the opener. The East Bay trio of Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool is expected to perform major hits as part of the NFL's 60th anniversary of the MVP award. President Donald Trump said he can't stand the halftime performers and called the selection "terrible." The band formed as Sweet Children in the mid-1980s, released 39/Smooth in 1990 and reached mass success with Dookie in 1994, emerging from the Berkeley punk venue 924 Gilman.
