This year’s Super Bowl in Santa Clara, California has added some Bay Area flavor as Green Day will perform at the big game’s opening ceremony on February 8. The NFL announced that the East Bay punk trio will take the stage at Levi’s Stadium for a performance that celebrates the championship game’s history, with past Super Bowl MVPs walking the field as Green Day play a medley of hits. “We are super hyped to open Super Bowl 60 right in our backyard!” Billie Joe Armstrong said in a statement. Bad Bunny will serve as the Super Bowl 60 halftime performer, with Charlie Puth enlisted to sing the National Anthem. Brandi Carlile will be on hand to perform “America the Beautiful” while Coco Jones will deliver “Lift Every Voice and Sing.”
