Green Day Set to Rock 60th Super Bowl Anniversary with Tribute Performance
The National Football League (NFL) has chosen an iconic East Bay punk-rock band, Green Day, to kick off its 60th anniversary celebration of the Super Bowl. The opening act for Super Bowl 60 will take place on February 8 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, marking a homecoming performance for the band and a fitting tribute to six decades of championship history.
The legendary trio of Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tré Cool is expected to deliver an energetic setlist featuring some of their most recognizable anthems. Their performance will serve as a nostalgic nod to generations of Super Bowl MVPs who have taken the field over the years.
"We're super hyped to open Super Bowl 60 right in our backyard!" Armstrong exclaimed. "We're honored to welcome the MVPs who've shaped the game and open the night for fans all over the world. Let's have fun! Let's get loud!"
The ceremony, which airs live on NBC, Telemundo, Peacock, and Universo at 3 p.m. Pacific Time, promises to be an unforgettable experience. In addition to Green Day's performance, Charlie Puth will sing the national anthem, Brandi Carlile will perform "America the Beautiful," and Coco Jones will deliver a powerful rendition of "Lift Every Voice and Sing."
According to Tim Tubito, the NFL's senior director of event and game presentation, this opening ceremony is an ideal way to commemorate 60 years of Super Bowl history. By partnering with NBC Sports, the league aims to create a collective celebration that will captivate fans both in attendance at Levi's Stadium and around the world.

I'm so stoked about Green Day playing at the Super Bowl! They're one of my favorite bands ever, and to see them perform at such an iconic event is just amazing 
. It's gonna be a blast from the past with all those classic hits - "American Idiot", "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)", and "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" are some of my faves! The NFL's doing a great job celebrating 60 years of Super Bowl history, and I'm sure it's gonna be a huge hit 
. Bring on the energy and excitement - can't wait to see it all go down! 
And can we talk about how epic it is that they're doing a tribute performance? It's like they're bringing back the energy of the '90s all over again 
. I'm picturing "Good Riddance", "American Idiot", and "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" getting the Super Bowl crowd pumped up like never before 
. Charlie Puth singing the national anthem and Brandi Carlile performing "America the Beautiful"? It's gonna be so cool to see all these talented artists come together 
.
!
. Who thought it was a good idea to have a punk-rock band open up the Super Bowl, anyway? It sounds like a total snooze fest to me 
. And don't even get me started on Charlie Puth and Brandi Carlile getting their voices warmed up for the ceremony... I mean, can't they just let some actual rockstars play for once? 
Green Day as the opening act for the Super Bowl... sounds like a clever move to me! 
And have you thought about the symbolism behind it all? The East Bay punk-rock band from California, now playing at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara... isn't that just another layer of corporate control? 
Like they're redefining what a "rock show" means. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it, but I do think we need to keep an eye on this... 
anyway im super hyped for super bowl 60 i have to ask tho wut does the national anthem even mean to americans? can we get a video of coco jones singing "lift every voice and sing" or will it be just live on tv?? 
. I don't know, maybe I'm just being old-fashioned, but it seems like this whole Super Bowl thing has changed so much over the years... 
.
! I've been a huge Green Day fan since Billie Joe was screaming his lungs out on "American Idiot" 
... this whole thing just screams nostalgia, I'm hyped!
Meanwhile, 60 years of Super Bowl history is a big deal, can we get some more female representation up there?
