The NFL is gearing up for its milestone 60th Super Bowl, marking six decades of gridiron greatness. In a nod to hometown pride, punk rock legends Green Day are set to take the stage as opening acts, ushering in generations of Super Bowl MVPs and cementing their place in musical history.
Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tré Cool, the iconic East Bay trio, will perform a curated selection of their signature anthems as part of an anniversary ceremony honoring six decades of championship glory. "We are super hyped to open Super Bowl 60 right in our backyard!" lead singer Armstrong exclaimed. "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!"
The ceremony, airing live on NBC, Telemundo, Peacock, and Universo at 3 p.m. Pacific time, promises an unforgettable celebration of NFL legends who've helped shape the sport into what it is today. "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," said Tim Tubito, the league's senior director of event and game presentation.
The opening ceremony will precede Charlie Puth's national anthem performance, Brandi Carlile's rendition of "America the Beautiful", and Coco Jones' stirring delivery of "Lift Every Voice and Sing". As the stage sets for an unforgettable night, Green Day stands ready to kick off Super Bowl 60 in style.

The NFL should just stick to the football, not try to be some sort of music festival... And why do they have to air it on so many channels? It's just gonna be a cluttered, overwhelming broadcast that nobody will actually watch... Can't they just simplify things for once? 
and i love how they're performing their old anthems, gotta get those nostalgic vibes going... also gotta say, billie joe armstrong's voice still gives me chills 
. but for real tho, this is amazing news, it's like a piece of music history being made right before our eyes... can't wait to see the whole thing go down! 
It's gonna be lit! And I love how they're playing some of their biggest hits to get everyone hyped. But what's up with not having a halftime show this year? I know it's been scaled back in recent years, but still... where's the magic?
still super stoked to see some of the nfl's greatest players on stage. billie joe armstrong is gonna kill it 
fingers crossed the ceremony doesn't go too long tho, we don't wanna miss charlie puth's anthem performance 
it's gonna bring a whole new energy to the stadium 
and I'm loving that they're playing some of their iconic songs 
can't wait for this ceremony 
gotta have a front row seat to see it all go down 
this is gonna be EPIC!!! 
. It's so cool that they're opening for all those legends and honoring six decades of championship glory 
I'm low-key hyped for the whole ceremony, but I know Green Day is gonna bring the house down 
! They always have a way of getting everyone pumped up and ready to rock 
And have u seen the lineup for the actual game? More commercials than actual football, can we pls just watch some real athletes play for once?!
guess that's what happens when you're this old... green day opening acts though? sounds like a punk rock dream come true! can't wait to see them get the crowd all riled up before charlie puth tries to calm everyone down with his national anthem 
Like, who thought it was a good idea to have punk rock bands play at one of the most boring sporting events on the planet? Green Day's all about being loud and obnoxious, which is exactly what the NFL wants – more noise pollution. And don't even get me started on the "hometown pride" crap, they're just gonna be a bunch of rich dudes playing to a crowd of screaming fans who are only there for the halftime show 
. Can't wait to see how they bring that high energy to the stage. Should be an epic celebration of football history
