Rock band Green Day will perform during the pregame show for Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., the NFL announced Sunday.
“We are super hyped to open Super Bowl 60 right in our backyard!” lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong said in a league news release. “We are 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!”
Green Day, which formed in Berkeley, Calif., in 1986 — not far from Levi’s Stadium — has sold 75 million records worldwide and has 20 billion cumulative streams. The group has won five Grammy Awards and is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The NFL said Green Day will help welcome several generations of Super Bowl MVPs from the past 59 title games onto the field to honor the 60th edition of the NFL championship game. The opening ceremony will air live at 6 p.m. (ET) on NBC, Telemundo, Peacock and Universo.
“Celebrating 60 years of Super Bowl history with Green Day as a hometown band, while honoring the NFL legends who’ve helped define this sport, is an incredibly powerful way to kick off Super Bowl LX,” the NFL’s senior director of event and game presentation, Tim Tubito, said in the news release.

After Green Day performs, several other acts will take the stage, including Charlie Puth, Brandi Carlile and Coco Jones. Puth will perform the national anthem, Carlile will sing “America the Beautiful” and Jones will deliver “Lift Every Voice and Sing.”
President Donald Trump criticized the NFL when it announced Bad Bunny — who has used his platform to speak out against Trump’s immigration policies — would be its Super Bowl halftime performer, calling it a bad choice. Armstrong, Green Day’s frontman, has been a strong critic of Trump for years, during both of his administrations. During Green Day’s performance at the American Music Awards in 2016, he chanted, “No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA!” At the Download Festival last year, Armstrong ripped Trump again and said the U.S. was “slipping into fascism.”
