Green Day Rocks Super Bowl 2026 Preshow Performance
Green Day electrified Super Bowl LX with a high-energy performance during the pre-show event. The band showcased a medley from their iconic 2005 album, American Idiot. Their set began with the anti-war anthem “Holiday” and included the popular track “Boulevard of Broken Dreams.”
Highlighting Protest in Their Performance
The punk rock band concluded their set with “American Idiot,” a renowned protest song. They boldly delivered the controversial line, “the subliminal mind-fuck America,” despite some censors on NBC obscuring it. Interestingly, the band did not modify a specific lyric they previously altered, which critiqued a political agenda.
Billie Joe Armstrong’s Pre-Game Speech
Prior to the Super Bowl, lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong used a pre-Super Bowl concert to advocate against ICE agents. He passionately urged them to “quit your shitty-ass job,” emphasizing the need for change in the political climate.
