Billie Joe Armstrong Urges ICE Agents to Resign at Pre-Super Bowl Concert
Billie Joe Armstrong, the frontman of Green Day, took a bold stand during a pre-Super Bowl LX concert, calling for the resignation of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. This event occurred on a Friday night in San Francisco at Pier 29, where Armstrong performed at a private gathering sponsored by Spotify and FanDuel.
Billie Joe Armstrong’s Call to Action
During his performance, Armstrong addressed ICE agents with a pointed message. He urged them to “quit your s—– a– job,” warning that once a political shift occurs, key figures like Kristi Noem and Donald Trump would abandon them. He emphasized that the current situation would eventually change, encouraging agents to reconsider their roles.
Political Statements and Altered Lyrics
Armstrong did not shy away from making additional political commentary throughout the concert. Notably, while performing “Holiday,” he creatively modified the lyrics to reference Epstein Island, instead of mentioning California. He dedicated this rendition to Minneapolis, hinting at ongoing political and social issues.
In another song, “American Idiot,” he sang, “I’m not part of the MAGA agenda,” continuing a practice of adapting lyrics to express his political sentiments, a trend he’s maintained for years.
Green Day’s Super Bowl Participation
Green Day is slated to perform at the Super Bowl LX pre-game ceremony. The band will honor past Super Bowl MVPs by ushering them onto the field. The main game, featuring the Seattle Seahawks against the New England Patriots, kicks off at 6:30 p.m.
