The NFL is dialing up the star power for Super Bowl 60, and this year’s opening ceremony is set to bring some serious energy. Green Day - yes, that Green Day - will join global superstar Bad Bunny for what’s shaping up to be an electric start to the league’s biggest night.
The announcement came during Sunday’s Divisional Round clash between the Chicago Bears and Los Angeles Rams, and it instantly lit up social media. Green Day will take the stage at Levi’s Stadium to kick off the festivities before Bad Bunny headlines the halftime show. That’s a lot of wattage for one night - and it’s exactly what you want when the football world turns its eyes to the Bay Area.
For longtime fans of the band, this is a full-circle moment. Green Day, known for anthems like “American Idiot,” “Boulevard of Broken Dreams,” and “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life),” helped define a generation of rock in the late '90s and early 2000s.
Their sound is unmistakable, their energy undeniable, and their place in music history well established. Now, they’ll bring that same edge and nostalgia to the Super Bowl stage, with Billie Joe Armstrong, Tré Cool, and Mike Dirnt ready to fire up the crowd.
The game itself is already loaded with intrigue. On the AFC side, it’ll be either the New England Patriots or Denver Broncos punching their ticket to Santa Clara.
The NFC still has a few contenders in play, with the Rams, Bears, and Seahawks all eyeing that coveted spot in the big game. Regardless of who takes the field, the entertainment lineup is already championship-caliber.
With Green Day opening the show and Bad Bunny taking center stage at halftime, Super Bowl 60 is shaping up to be more than just a football game - it’s a full-blown cultural event. And with Levi’s Stadium as the backdrop, expect a show that blends California cool with big-game intensity.
Mark your calendars: February 8 is going to be loud - on the field and on the stage.
