the mvp ceremony at super bowl 50 had a ~8min duration, i guess greenday could fit in 3 songs, depending if they will play some sort of medley

did they ever play a medley of their greatest hits? i only know about kingforaday/shout etc

I Hope that they'll play American Idiot, Holiday and Minority 

[Gwen Stacy]

My prediction:

American Idiot

Holiday

When I Come Around

I think they’ll do something outside of their usual bag of tricks akin to the 2016 VMAs without like calling for the proletarian revolution or anything like that (although to quote the immortal Wooderson “it’d be a lot cooler if you did”). Just enough to get the point across, not enough to damage the overall Green Day brand. 
 

Part of me definitely wants Billie in burning Spin magazine and biting from the hand that feeds mode though. But he’s sober and in his 50s now. Gotta temper expectations somewhat.

Kind of when they did a football thing around 2000.

I'm sure everyone has seen all the articles/headlines around this but this one caught my eye as it says the performance will be "without tape delay or an editing safety net"!

Ok, link won't work, so it's "NFL green day, politics, and the super bowl: what the NFL just signed up for" if you are interested.

Hope they come out with a song like or tribute to Cranberries Zombie. Say what needs to be said.

I don’t expect to hear a cover at that occasion. They are booked for their own hits. And there are enough to fit the bill. I‘d love to hear 21CB but don’t expect that either, unfortunately. It will be some of the major hits like AI and Holiday.

They could play TADIKM, it’s quite a statement too.  Definitely play AI I think.

I'm sure this has been answered sorry, but will this be broadcast on ESPN? It doesn't look like it from what I can see (in Australia here)

Yeah so for international viewers, kickoff is scheduled for 15:30 local time (PST), with the pre-game show start scheduled for 15:00 local time (18:00 EST, 23:00 UTC or 00:00 CET). 

[That Dude]

Picture this:   Billie Joe steps out.  He's wearing his outfit from the iheart trilogy performance.  "I'm gonna play a new song"   and then proceeds to play a new song.  It turns out that Green Day have a new batch of songs so good that they are perform them while the super bowl is going on, and no body even bothers to watch the ball game.    the new songs are mindbogglingly good and the super bowl is no more.   It's the Green Day bowl from here on out.  lol.

But for real....they have 20 minutes, right?   maybe 4 songs and some shenanigans?

It would be wild if they did some deep cuts.  THE GROUCH!  They're definitely going to offend some folks, which isn't hard these days.   I'm thinking 

American Idiot 

Boulevard of Broken Dreams  

A Bang Bang / Dilemma / Minority medley  

Basketcase

Mine's on when school's on... i *could* watch it but they also banned devices unless it's for work. So same thing for me...

[farley drexel hatcher]

Apparently they have a very short set, probably only one song

According to who/what?

[Admiral_Needa]

Yeah, according to the last schedule, Green Day is supposed to start at 3pm, and the game starts at 3:30pm PST.

And during those 30mins, Green Day, Charlie Puth, Brandi Carlile, and Coco Jones are also set to perform.

So it's probably a medley/montage of multiple songs/performers, or maybe just Welcome to Paradise and American Idiot.

Well off to the game! Seahawks and Patriots? I'll be rooting for Green Day lol 

[That Dude]

Where to watch?  Is there somewhere that shows all the music and commercials but edits out all the boring sports stuff?  😆 

[GuitarPunk94]

If its just one song only then it got to be AI

[greenalert997x]

The camera shifts to Green Day. Billie steps up to the microphone and scans the stadium. The audience falls silent...

1, 2, 3, 4...
