AceShowbiz - Green Day kicked off the Super Bowl LX with an exhilarating medley of their classic hits during the opening ceremony at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on February 8, 2026. The band, returning to their Bay Area roots, took center stage to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the NFL's flagship event.

The performance began with a stirring orchestral rendition of Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life), setting an emotional tone as a parade of former Super Bowl MVPs was introduced to the enthusiastic crowd. Following this, the medley seamlessly transitioned into Holiday and condensed versions of Boulevard Of Broken Dreams and American Idiot, all from their iconic 2004 album.

Despite the high-energy atmosphere, Billie Joe Armstrong chose not to sing the modified line “I’m not part of the MAGA agenda,” which he had included in past performances. As the set drew to a close, Armstrong exuberantly welcomed fans to the Bay Area, declaring, “It’s Super Bowl LX!”

Fans took to social media to express their excitement, with clips circulating from the electrifying performance. One tweet captured the moment when Green Day ignited the stage, with fans enthusiastically shouting along to the lyrics of American Idiot.

As the official broadcaster, NBC managed the live coverage, muting Armstrong during certain politically charged lyrics, including “The subliminal mindfuck America” from American Idiot. This editing decision sparked discussions among viewers about the balance between artistic expression and broadcast standards.

Before the major event, Green Day had warmed up with a show at San Francisco’s Pier 29, allowing fans a preview of what to expect during the Super Bowl performance. The excitement was palpable as the band shared moments on social media leading up to game day, urging fans not to miss their live performance.

Throughout the opening ceremony, Green Day played a selection of their most beloved tracks:

• Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) (with orchestra)
• Holiday
• Boulevard Of Broken Dreams
• American Idiot

Their presence at Super Bowl LX highlighted the enduring legacy of Green Day in music and pop culture, affirming their status as a pivotal band in the landscape of American rock music.

With their unforgettable performance, Green Day not only entertained millions but also contributed to the rich tapestry of the Super Bowl’s storied history.
