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

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.

That's what I was thinking .

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)
