[GuitarPunk94]

wait, they will play at the actual super bowl? in the stadium?

i only know about bad bunny being the halftime show act

what kind of show/ceremony is this? will it take place just before the kickoff? and is this part of the international broadcast?

[desertrose]

This is the opening ceremony in the stadium prior to the game.  This is exciting!  Performing a selection of their best-known anthems as part of the tribute.

I'm supposed this will be broadcasted just like the opening of UEFA Champions League in Europe

As long as it's not like the FIFA shitshow where a certain someone recieved a "peace price" (whatever the fuck that was)

[Paola17]

Oh, this is very exciting. Can't wait to watch! I'm glad it seemingly won't just be one song.

I hope it’s being broadcast. I’ll be watching the game from a bar hopefully they’ll turn it on early and show it

Yes, it will be broadcasted.

From Green Day Italy YouTube post:

The ceremony airs live at 3 p.m. PT on NBC, Telemundo, Peacock and Universo

Suddenly I care about the super bowl. This is exciting! The super bowl is being held here in the bay area this year, so it makes sense that a bay area band will do a pre-game performance. I wish they got chosen to do the half time show, oh well 

[desertrose]

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.

I think what we're going to get could possible be something like this? (I don't know anything about sport events lol)

If they're playing a mashup I think they could play One Eyed Bastard and Basket Case. At least.

I am becoming more and more interested in what goes into deciding what songs make it to the setlist and why.

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.

[Reverend Strychnine Twitch]

They will perform 'Stuck With Me', 'Armatage Shanks' and yes you guessed it right... 'Take Back' 🔥🔥🔥
