Green Day performed during the Super Bowl 60 opening ceremony Sunday at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

The band's set began with Billie Joe Armstrong performing a solo rendition of "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" as MVPs from past Super Bowls took the field. They then transitioned into a medley of hits from their 2004 album, American Idiot: "Holiday," "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" and the title track.

Armstrong notably skipped the verse in "American Idiot" where he sings, "I'm not a part of a redneck agenda," which he has changed to "MAGA agenda" for past live performances in protest of the Donald Trump administration. He did, however, sing the lyric, "The subliminal mindf*** America."

Armstrong did get more explicitly political during an invite-only concert Friday in San Francisco. As seen in fan-shot footage, he called out agents of United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE, saying, "Quit your s****y a** job."
