EEEEEEE!!!! y'all the meet n greet was SO fast. The guys were so nice but didn't make conversation that much bc time me thinks. Billie said "you have my dog on your shirt!" I laughed and said he should bring the longshot back, we took the picture and I was out the room. I think they brought us to the pr room so the energy in there was so chaotic. Me and my brother were cheesing when we got back to our seats. He got a fist bump from Mike! The set was so fun! same ol songs but I was in need of a concert so I enjoyed it so much.

Its always like this, people make false hopes out of nothing and get hyped, just do be disappointed in the end, and then blame the origin (the band) Its not the oscars or grammys, its the nfl superbowl, getting badbunny and greenday to play at their show is surprising enough imo, and the boys took full advantage of it by performing with high rock energy (And keep in mind, this was not about greenday, it was about the mvp ceremony in the end)

According to reddit this is up already for people in certain time zones. Heroes by David Bowie covered by Billie Joe featuring his son Jakob. So I assume it’s dropping everywhere Friday? https://www.reddit.com/r/greenday/s/kr2FMUIS6H

Today is my two-year anniversary of being a part of this amazing community. Thank you so much my GDC family .

(Seriously that's freaking amazing!)

What does any of this have to do with Billie and Jakob being commissioned to record a David Bowie cover? Let’s remember the thread topic

Setlist leak: American Idiot (dedicated to MAGA) Holiday (dedicated to Adolf Hitler and the proud boys of ICE) Hitchin' a Ride (dedicated to Pete Hegseth) Nice Guys Finish Last (dedicated to the Democratic Party) Dominated Love Slave (dedicated to Karoline Leavitt) Prosthetic Head (dedicated to Kristi Noem) King for a Day (dedicated to J.D. Vance) F.O.D. (dedicated to Donald Trump) Minority (dedicated to the rest of us)

https://www.instagram.com/p/DT1B63UjWOP/?igsh=enNpZm5oeGZ4anN4 just saw this, sounds fabulous. Tomorrow is my birthday, thanks Billie and Jakob. Yes I am taking this as being for me 😂😂

Can't believe I found one of these online over Christmas. It's one of the cool trilogy hoodies (couldn't afford one at the time)

I loved their performance. To me, songs like Holiday and American Idiot say enough in their lyrics. It must have meant a lot for them to play this kind of gig in the bay area. They killed it and looked to be having fun. If people listen to Holiday and American Idiot and can’t see any political commentary, that’s their issue. Bad Bunny also approached things in a mature way. Didn’t make a message of hate, but instead of unity. Even said “God Bless America” and had the US flag first in the parade, going against people’s perceptions of him as an America-hater. I felt like they both took the high road and I appreciate that kind of maturity in an era of digs and insults that go nowhere and get nothing done.

I'm just happy my boys got to play the Super Bowl.

This belongs here! He was SO cute at that podcast show!🥰 I also liked his outfit with the leather jacket and the Converse!😍

I say they come out dressed as The Network and play Ivankkka Is a Nazi.

So… hey fellas my tickets come with a meet and greet with THEBAND. I plan on wearing that longshot shirt with Lenny on it 😛 hope I amuse Billie with that ahhhhHH

FanDuel and Spotify Bring Green Day and Counting Crows to San Francisco for Exclusive 2026 Super Bowl Bash FanDuel and Spotify are once again bringing Super Bowl weekend energy to San Francisco with one of the most anticipated invite-only events of the year. For the third consecutive year, North America’s leading online gaming company and the world’s most popular audio streaming platform are teaming up to host a high-profile Super Bowl celebration, this time with legendary headliners Green Day and a special performance by Counting Crows. Set against the stunning waterfront backdrop of Pier 29, the exclusive event will take place on Friday, February 6, 2026, just days before the biggest game in sports. With Green Day’s explosive punk anthems and Counting Crows’ iconic catalog of alternative rock favorites, the evening is poised to deliver a uniquely San Francisco soundtrack to Super Bowl weekend. As the city fills with fans, media, and celebrities from around the world, this FanDuel and Spotify collaboration stands out as a defining cultural moment. celebrating music, community, and the spirit of the Bay Area on one unforgettable night. https://musicinsf.com/fanduel-and-spotify-bring-green-day-and-counting-crows-to-san-francisco-for-exclusive-2026-super-bowl-bash/

They played 16 songs, no deep cuts. Will post a full recap once I’ve slept! But it was absolutely a tune up show with a big paycheck for their Super Bowl appearance on Sunday. That said, they had good energy!

My pleasure! It's going to be the weirdest vibe imaginable but I'm a true fan and will share how it shakes out once I'm back. Yes, it's definitely happening but as another poster mentioned, there's no need for publicity as it's (unfortunately) mostly a VIP-only type affair. I don't want to dox myself but I can say I'm attending as media and otherwise would have no shot at getting in.

Little butthurt diaper boy couldn’t stand getting told to his face to fuck off 🤣 Another service the boys have done for this country. God’s favorite band does it again

So Heroes was recorded to commemorate the upcoming 50th season of Survivor. Why am I not surprised. With the band due to open a major sporting event, not for the first time, the band seem to be the first choice to nominate an existing song or even write one for some sort of major event. The last one being the song Underdog for soundtrack for a new animal series for National Geographic. There have been 17 other songs used for various soundtracks going back to 1995, some existing, others songs written specifically for soundtrack. And this year's no different. Nice one GD. Just shows how really special you continue to be even in the mainstream environment.

Here's a really old photo you don't see around. It's from an Australian magazine from when Green Day appeared at the HMV Studios in Sydney on 8 February 1996. https://www.instagram.com/p/DTYK-fCDYq7/?igsh=MW84Yzh5eTVzcGwxYg== My daughter has painstakingly been scanning all this for me this last week and deserves a medal!

"To all the ICE agents out there, wherever you are, quit your sh*tty-ass job. Quit that shitty job you have. Because when this is over — and it will be over at some point in time — Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, JD Vance, Donald Trump, they’re gonna drop you like a bad f*cking habit. Come on this side of the line.” - February 6th

They literally called him out the other night at the pre-show concert they did.

the boys have literally been speaking out against the government for the past 21 years now, at stadiums, on live TV, etc. the fact that they were even allowed to play a SLIVER of american idiot and holiday at the FUCKING SUPER BOWL is already nuts. the fact that GREEN DAY IS EVEN AT THE SUPER BOWL ALTOGETHER is nuts. who knows what type of shit NFL would've pulled off had they DID speak up? probably wasnt pretty. r/greenday are some of the most unrealistic idiots ive ever seen on earth...

Confirming what I posted is what they played, 100%. It's possible the crowd didn't earn Forever Now as it was pretty tech bro-y for a Green Day show but as I said earlier, the band certainly had quality energy. BJA did rip on Spotify as a sponsor by yelling "yay Napster" and also called FanDuel "OnlyFans" so he was in high spirits haha.

What a wild thing to say. Nothing proves that David Bowie ever slept with underaged girls. He specifically refused to kiss Jennifer Connelly in Labyrinth because of her age, and he had a long string of girlfriends and boyfriends and all of them were full grown adults. Predators don’t sleep with children once and then start dating adults, it’s a repetitive and recognizable pattern. And bringing up the Joey scandal is completely unnecessary, but so is comparing a 22yo kid, dating a 16yo younger kid to a full grown adult grooming a child.

Not easy at all and no one is/was like Bowie, so this is a tough task. I really enjoy hearing Billie Joe give it a try and wholeheartedly appreciate getting this stuff from him ❤️ That being said... bring on more Beach Boys!!!

Me, before discovering this was being released: "I swear, if one more person covers Heroes, I'm gonna rip my hair out." Also me, after learning Billie Joe and Jakob were covering it: "YES. I NEED THIS."

This should be great, I am working part of the Super Bowl production for this so excited! Glad to get to work the Super Bowl. Excited to see them perform.

Some more backstage shenanigans: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DTpEVqIDXHi/?igsh=dDRqcGo5OTcxZTZr And Good Riddance with a countdown 😂: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DTpcXXmjIjU/?igsh=enV2M240M3QzbXVm And Holiday with a message: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DTpgSZ8DeGv/?igsh=ZHZvc251YzBraXFo

I apologize in advance for the shoddy broadcast. Not much I could really do about that..

@Dingle I have such envy for those who saw them anywhere during AI…but Milton Keynes… fabulous, lucky you. Favourite era, got to be 21CBD (anyone who visits the fangirl thread will know I just adore that era when Billie wore the stiped pants 🔥🔥🔥) and AI which I can’t choose one over the other. Going with Saviors too as it’s been a great tour , Billie is aging better than fine wine and it’s been great to see them all looking well and loving the tour.

Just performing in Spanish and celebrating Latino culture was huge in this climate. When he named every country in South and North America I felt that. He was great

Since someone posted the setlist, let me share what they actually played before I crash: 1. American Idiot ("not a part of a MAGA agenda") 2. Holiday ("the representative from Epstein Island has the floor") 3. Know Yr Enemy 4. Blvd. 5. One Eyed Bastard 6. Longview 7. Welcome to Paradise 8. Brain Stew 9. St. Jimmy 10. 21 Guns 11. Minority ("To everyone at ICE, quit your shitty fucking jobs") 12. Basket Case 13. When I Come Around 14. Waiting 15. Jesus of Suburbia ("From Minnesota to the Middle East") 16. Bobby Sox 17. [Encore] Good Riddance

New vinyl for the vinyl collection and new shirt for the shirt collection:

Pretty much lol Just play Holiday five times. Dedicate it to a different person each time, and give a different person the floor each time around. The homophobic slur in there can be easily replaced with other slurs each time.

I really like Billie’s vocal delivery in this. Very classy and tender. Would be interested in this with Saviors vocal production instead of this “he’s far away” sound.

Absolutely incredible. The chemistry between Billie and Jakob is unreal... their voices blend so perfectly. This cover is such a beautiful gift and a truly extraordinary tribute to Bowie’s legacy... 🤍 Hope he's going to play it at next Coverups show.

Wow, had to find my scrawled notes to get total. But hay, thanks loads. I've just been on an emotional rollercoaster reliving all those amazing live show memories. Kerplunk tour 3. Dookie 7 Insomniac 0 (If memory correct only I show in Brixton, when I trashed my motorbike and broke me leg. lol). Nimrod 5 Reading festival 2 (don't really like festivals) Warning 2 AI 6 (including trip abroad to Amsterdam, and found heaven at Milton Keynes) T in the Park, Scotland. 21st Century Breakdown 6 (Wembley Stadium, oh shit, back in heaven again) Trilogy 1 Rev Rad 5 Hela Mega Tour 1 Saviors 4 (including memorable surprise show at Marquis pub in London, as was in town for Saviors promo 2 days later, but was cancelled as band members where sick. I remember being so sad and worried until got news they would be ok, thanks to update on here). Download Festival 1. 42 in total I think. Thanks for the journey GD. Oh shit, the missus has just come in the room, tears running down me face. 😂

NFL being my favourite sport with NHL, I can't wait to see this. Biggest sport in America, Green Day will get fucking mainstream and everywhere if they tell the piggy POTUS to stay quiet on stage. Would be so cool to call him and ICE.

You and all recent new members to join us are most welcome. The GD journey started in '80's, now in it's 5th decade. And the band is still going strong attracting new fans allowing GD into their lives, and we get to share their love for GD on here. Aren't we the lucky ones. ❤️

This one's not such a rare photo but kinda funny. A poster from AstroGirl (a teen entertainment magazine) from the American Idiot era. "Stargazing with Green Day" You might think I possessed this poster because my daughter wanted to be an astronaut but no, it was just part of the collection https://www.instagram.com/p/DTf0Ccagh_i/?igsh=czhiN2l0bWVoM2dl

A great misheard lyric courtesy of my sister and nephew: "Coffee and cyanide for llamas in disgrace"!🤣 She asked me one day, what did the llamas ever do to Billie? I was like what?! She then explained how they had misheard the lyrics in 1981 and had to Google them. I now sing llamas instead of lovers because once you hear it, you can't unhear it! You're all welcome!😉😅

They just showed billie in the audience, next to adrienne

Sound like Geek Stink Breath

Well done dedicated and faithful GD disciple warrior. Our continuing mission is to convert this lost world to the wonders of Green Day. 🤪

Not an easy vocal style and he nails it. Love the guitar too this is an amazing cover

My favorite miss heard lyric is from Nuclear Family, where instead of hearing "I just want some action so give me my turn" I hear "I just want some action so give me Mike Dirnt"
