After tonight, fans of the NFL will have to wait a long seven months before hearing that Sunday Night Football theme. But that is tomorrow, for tonight, the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots have the chance to end their season by making history. And if that wasn’t enough, Super Bowl LX will include a spectacular halftime show helmed by Bad Bunny. But before the first play, the NFL will offer a unique opening ceremony featuring none other than Green Day.
Formed in Rodeo, California during the late 1980s, Green Day consisted of Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tre Cool. Throughout the band’s history, the group released hit songs like “21 Guns”, “Good Riddance”, and “Boulevard of Broken Dreams.” Excited to highlight their lasting legacy on one of the biggest stages in the world, Green Day will surely produce a memorable set.
