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.

Rikki Rockett To Perform Poison’s “Look What The Cat Dragged In” In Full With The Rockett Mafia
Poison’s Rikki Rockett is planning to celebrate the 40th anniversary of “Look What The Cat Dragged In” during a tour with his Rockett Mafia project. This news comes after the drummer recently revealed that Poison’s touring plans were scrapped due to a financial dispute. Rockett commented:
“Playing Poison’s first album with The Rockett Mafia is a full-circle moment for me. It’s raw, it’s fun, and it’s exactly how those songs were meant to be heard. Celebrating the 40th anniversary is really about giving the fans a chance to relive that moment with us.”

Metal Anarchy’s New Music Showcase: Before The Sirens
Time for the next edition of Metal Anarchy’s “new music showcase,” the feature where I introduce you to bands that readers of this site may find interesting. This time I have a Q&A with Alun Davies of Before The Sirens.
METAL ANARCHY: Tell me a little about your band:
DAVIES: Hi! Nice to meet you. I’m Alun from Before the Sirens, a classic metalcore band from Hertfordshire, UK. We’ve been playing together in various bands since we were at school (so in some cases nearly 30 years!) but have been playing in this band together since 2021. We have previously been called a classic metalcore band and to be honest this is the closest definition I have heard when trying to place us in a genre. But we have been described as heavy metal, melodic metalcore, hard rock and, my personal favourite, the heaviest rock band you will ever hear!
METAL ANARCHY: Who are your main influences?
DAVIES: Our music stems from our influences in early 2000s metalcore and those ‘Kerrang’ era Nu-Metal bands that form the foundation of our sound. We list ourselves as ‘for fans of Killswitch Engage, Alter Bridge, Breaking Benjamin & Metallica’.
METAL ANARCHY: What is your latest release and why should readers of this site check it out?
DAVIES: Our new EP ‘As It Is Above, So It Is Below’ is released in December last year. We really feel like this EP builds on the sonic foundation laid by (our debut EP) Desolate Seas & Darkened Skies. The new EP feels like a step up for us in terms of musical ambition. If you like your music heavy with plenty of hook laden riffs, buckets of vocal melody and s good smattering of vicious breakdowns, this might just be worth a listen.
METAL ANARCHY: What can people expect when they go to your live shows?
DAVIES: We love playing live together and we hope that is infectious when people come out to see us at a show. But we are there to have a good time and to entertain, so in amongst the unbelievably loud heavy music we play, we bring a lot of humour and positive energy.
METAL ANARCHY: Where do you see your band heading in 5 years?
DAVIES: We’ll continue to write the music we love writing. Our predominant agenda with this band is enjoy making the music we want to make. It’s heavy, it’s aggressive, it’s got bucket loads of melody in the vocals, but it has to sound like us. To be honest, we want to continue to be the band we are and get out on the road to see as many of you as possible as that is where we are at our best.

Metal Anarchy’s New Music Showcase: The Trousers
Time for the next edition of Metal Anarchy’s “new music showcase,” the feature where I introduce you to bands that readers of this site may find interesting. This time I have a Q&A with The Trousers.
METAL ANARCHY: Tell me a little about your band:
THE TROUSERS: The Trousers are garage rock/hard rock band from Budapest since 2005. The members are Zoltán Kőváry (vocals, guitar), Péter Locke (guitar), András Lázár (bass), Samu Antal Gulyás (drums). We have released seven albums so far, on “Freakbeat” (2013) we had Nicke Andersson from The Hellacopters as a guest-guitarist on one song. The albums have had very good reviews all over the world, usually 7-9/10 rating. The band has played in Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Austria, Slovenia, Czehia, Slovakia in the recent years, and supported bands like Black Stone Cherry, MC5, Tygers of Pan Tang, Dirty Honey, Atomic Bitchwax, etc…
METAL ANARCHY: Who are your main influences?
THE TROUSERS: From the 60’s: The Rolling Stones, MC5, Iggy & The Stooges, Stax/Motown soul
From the 70’s: AC/DC, Aerosmith, Black Sabbath, Motörhead, Sex Pistols
From the 80’s: Judas Priest, The Cult, Metallica, Mötley Crüe
From the 90’s: Alice in Chains, The Black Crowes, Oasis
Form the 00’s: The Hellacopters, Queens of the Stone Age, The White Stripes, WolfmotherMETAL ANARCHY: What is your latest release and why should readers of this site check it out?
THE TROUSERS: We have released “Necessary Evil” in 2025 November. I think it’s very diverse and unified at the same time, integrating all our influences as musicians and everyday people. The Trousers is a hard, riff-driven band but the songs are very melodic and sound like a hit at the same time. We always try to write albums with ten singles 😊 I think in the 70’s and 80’s rock bands wrote big hits while they didn’t give up their identity as a rock n roll band and they remained raw and heavy. Motörhead, AC/DC or Judas Priest used to play in Top of the Pops in Britain for example, or Guns n Roses videos were in heavy rotation on MTV. Things will never be the same again, but we try to follow this tradition artistically.
METAL ANARCHY: What can people expect when they go to your live shows?
THE TROUSERS: Real rock attitude… We play rock n roll with the intensity of a classic thrash metal band. Usually 50-60 minutes, with the best songs from our albums and some covers. Last year we released an EP of covers under the title “Garage Nights Revisited”. Sometimes we play a few songs from this too.
METAL ANARCHY: Where do you see your band heading in 5 years?
THE TROUSERS: It also depends on the international context, because we don’t play too much in Hungary expect from Budapest. It’s getting harder to get gigs for a band like us. We will keep on making albums for sure, so in five years there will be at least two more albums in our catalogue, but the tours and the concerts depend on a lot of factors. We do what we can!

The Black Crowes Premiere “Profane Prophecy” Video
The Black Crowes have premiered a new video for their song “Profane Prophecy.” This track is from the band’s new album, “A Pound Of Feathers,” which will be released on March 13.
Frontman Chris Robinson commented:
“‘Profane Prophecy’ is about the devil you know, the devil you never knew, the devil inside of me and devil inside of you. The mischief and madness in the beautiful expression that is rock n roll… and you can dance to it.”
Director Dagger Polyester added:
“In the video for ‘Profane Prophecy,’ the Black Crowes have conjured seven devils (representing each deadly sin) to wreak havoc on this little fairytale world of stark morality and harsh retribution. In creating this world, we leaned into uncanniness with hyper-unrealistic theatrical set pieces and life size dioramas.
Everyone in the cast and crew are integral members of our little underground, experimental art scene here in Los Angeles. We rely on one another to make music, movies and art with virtually no budget. As a community, we don’t usually have clearly defined roles; for example, I’m usually doing makeup, costumes, choreography, lighting, you name it. It was a huge opportunity for us to work with the Crowes, especially in a time where the real hero-freaks of the underground go largely unsung.”
