Green Day Set to Rock Super Bowl 60 Opening Ceremony, Celebrating Big Game's 60-Year History
In a move that's sure to stir up some Bay Area nostalgia, the NFL has announced that punk rock legends Green Day will be performing at this year's Super Bowl opening ceremony. The band, known for hits like "American Idiot" and "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)," will take the stage at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on February 8, as part of a celebration marking the championship game's 60th anniversary.
The East Bay trio is thrilled to be opening the big game for fans around the world, with lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong stating, "We are super hyped to open Super Bowl 60 right in our backyard! We're honored to welcome the MVPs who've shaped the game and open the night for fans all over the world. Let's have fun! Let's get loud!"
The NFL is also honoring its rich history with this performance, which will feature past Super Bowl MVPs walking the field as Green Day plays a medley of their hits. According to Tim Tubito, the league's senior director of event and game presentation, "Celebrating 60 years of Super Bowl history with Green Day as a hometown band, while honoring the NFL legends who've helped define this sport, is an incredibly powerful way to kick off Super Bowl LX."
This performance marks one of several high-profile events planned for Super Bowl weekend in San Francisco. On February 6, Green Day will be performing at Pier 29 on the Embarcadero with Counting Crows, and will also take part in the halftime show on February 8.
Other performers lined up for the big game include Bad Bunny as the halftime performer, Charlie Puth to sing the National Anthem, Brandi Carlile to perform "America the Beautiful," and Coco Jones to deliver "Lift Every Voice and Sing." With Green Day leading the charge, Super Bowl 60 is shaping up to be a celebration of music, sports, and community that will leave fans cheering for more.

but like why do they have to play american idiot so loud?? my ears get hurt just thinking about it lol i need some earplugs or something idk if im gonna make it to the halftime show tho... is that where bad bunny is performing?? can we get a preview of his setlist tho?! i love his music and i know he's gonna bring the energy 
what do u guys think green day's performance is gonna be like? r they just gonna play their usual songs or are there gonna be some special surprises?!
. It's gonna be such a fun and energetic opening ceremony. I'm already counting down the days till February 8! 
i'm so down for this 
it's gonna be lit 
billie joe armstrong is the man 
and performing with a medley of their hits will get the crowd jumping 
the nfl is really getting the vibe right 
and having past super bowl mvp legends walk the field will add to the nostalgia 
can't wait for feb 8! 
. I mean, who thinks it's a good idea to book punk rock at the Super Bowl? It's gonna be so out of place. And what about all those people who aren't into that genre? They're gonna be stuck in the middle of a bunch of mosh pits and screaming kids 
. I'm hoping for some more pop or rock artists to get the party started instead, you know? Something a little more mainstream. This whole thing just feels like they're trying too hard to be edgy 
.
it's all about the glitz and glamour now instead of just the game itself. like what's next? having a full-on concert at the stadium and calling it a 'ceremony'? 
newsflash: its just football, folks!
! Getting Green Day on board as part of the opening ceremony is pure gold. It's gonna bring so much energy to the game and really capture the spirit of the Bay Area. I mean, who wouldn't want to rock out to "American Idiot" at Super Bowl 60? 
i was thinking about how much i love road trips and how they're like, the perfect excuse to leave your phone behind and just enjoy the moment 
anyway back to green day... i mean i'm so stoked they're playing at the super bowl but have you ever tried acai bowls for breakfast? i swear my body is 100% fueled and ready for anything now 
I love how they're incorporating their hits and also paying homage to past MVPs walking on the field. It's like a big ol' party 
Can't wait to see the halftime show too, Bad Bunny is gonna bring some serious heat 
billie joe armstrong sounds so hyped to be back in the area too, it's like they're putting on a hometown show for us bay area folks
