AceShowbiz - Billie Joe Armstrong has long showcased his musical inspirations through cover songs, a tradition that dates back to the early days of Green Day. This passion was prominently displayed during a surprise concert on Wednesday night, where Armstrong joined the Coverups, a band dedicated solely to cover tracks. The event took place at the Cornerstone venue in Berkeley, California, and also featured Jason White, known for his role as a live guitarist with Green Day.

The band delivered an energetic setlist of 30 songs, blending fan favorites with fresh selections. Among the standout performances captured by attendees were renditions of Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne, Ziggy Stardust by David Bowie, and Summer of '69 by Bryan Adams.

Additional tracks, as documented on Setlist.fm, included Drain You by Nirvana, Last Nite by The Strokes, We Got the Beat by The Go-Go's, Where Eagles Dare by Misfits, and Surrender by Cheap Trick. While some overlap existed between the Coverups’ selections and songs Green Day has previously covered, Armstrong and his bandmates opted to spotlight less frequently performed material. Notably, they chose to exclude the often-covered Operation Ivy classic Knowledge, which Green Day regularly plays.
