Green Day Criticizes ICE, Trump in Pre-Super Bowl Show
Green Day used their pre-Super Bowl concert to deliver a political message aimed at ICE and the Trump administration. The band performed on February 6, 2026, in San Francisco at The FanDuel Party Powered by Spotify, setting an emotional tone as the Super Bowl approached.
Green Day’s Bold Stance Against ICE
During the performance, lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong took a direct shot at ICE agents. He told them to consider quitting before President Donald Trump and high-profile supporters like Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller discard them “like a bad f*ing habit.” His message resonated with fans, emphasizing the urgency of standing up for their beliefs.
Lyric Changes and Political References
In a notable moment, Armstrong altered the lyrics of the band’s classic “Holiday” to comment on the recent Jeffrey Epstein documents released by the Department of Justice. He adapted the line to say, “the representative from Epstein Island has the floor,” further driving home his political critique.
Upcoming Super Bowl Performance
Green Day is scheduled to perform during the Super Bowl LX Opening Ceremony at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on February 8, 2026. Fans are eagerly anticipating whether the band will continue their political commentary during this major event.
Polarizing Reactions and Alternatives
Trump has expressed disapproval of Green Day and the halftime show featuring rapper Bad Bunny, labeling both as poor entertainment choices. In response, conservative organization Turning Point USA is organizing an alternate halftime show featuring artists like Kid Rock and Brantley Gilbert for those who support differing views.
