what songs did green day play at super bowl
Green Day’s official Super Bowl LX pre-game kickoff performance at Levi’s Stadium in 2026 was a short, four-song medley-style set built entirely from some of their biggest hits.
Quick Scoop
Here’s what they played for the Super Bowl kickoff broadcast:
- Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)
- Holiday (excerpt/medley segment)
- Boulevard of Broken Dreams
- American Idiot
They started with the more reflective Good Riddance while past Super Bowl MVPs were introduced, then shifted into a higher-energy run through “Holiday,” “Boulevard of Broken Dreams,” and “American Idiot” to match the big-game atmosphere.
Extra context: not the halftime show
- This was a Super Bowl “kickoff” / pre-game performance, not the official halftime show.
- It was also billed as their first major Super Bowl–related appearance, even though they previously headlined the Super Bowl Music Fest concert back in 2022 (that was a full 20+ song concert, not the in-game show).
Why these songs?
- All four are among their most recognizable tracks and regular live staples.
- “American Idiot” and “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” are signature songs from the same album, while “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)” is a long-time closer and TV favorite, making them ideal picks for a broad Super Bowl audience.
