Green Day will be performing during the opening ceremony at this year’s Super Bowl. That event will take place at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, CA on February 8. The band’s set is expected to feature a medley composed of their greatest hits.

Frontman Billie Joe Armstrong commented:

“We are super hyped to open Super Bowl 60 right in our backyard! 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!”

Tim Tubito, the NFL’s senior director of event and game presentation, added:

“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. As we work alongside NBC Sports for this opening ceremony, we look forward to creating a collective celebration for fans in the stadium and around the world.”

In other news, Green Day will also be playing a pre-Super Bowl concert with Counting Crows at Pier 29 in San Francisco, CA on February 6. That invite-only show will be sponsored by FanDuel and Spotify.
