Their opinion of the President of the United States is clear. Last July 4, during a concert in Belgium on the American national holiday, the punk rock group Green Day did not mince its words. In front of a delirious crowd, the leader of the group Billie Joe Armstrong sang “fuck Donald Trump”, echoed by the audience. He then changed the lyrics of the famous song “American Idiot” to criticize the president.
A few weeks before, the group had already tried the experiment during the Download Festival in the United Kingdom. “Donald Trump and his administration are a fascist government. And it’s up to us to fight back,” the leader said at the time.
“We are super excited”
Eight months later, will Green Day try the experiment again in front of tens of millions of viewers? The Californian group was in any case chosen to open the Super Bowl, the final of the American football championship scheduled for February 8 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara (California). A very important and high-profile meeting, and a decision which can be considered as a snub to Donald Trump.
“We are super excited to open Super Bowl 60 in our own city,” commented Billie Joe Armstrong. We are honored to welcome the players who have marked the history of this sport and to open the evening for fans from around the world. »
