Green Day headlined the 2025 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, marking their much-anticipated debut at the iconic Indio, California event.
While frontman Billie Joe Armstrong previously appeared at Coachella in 2014 alongside The Replacements, this was the first official performance by the full band.
Opening With ‘American Idiot’ Sets the Tone
The trio kicked off their set with the iconic protest anthem “American Idiot,” setting a powerful tone for the night. Social media videos captured the electrifying moment. The politically charged song, released in 2004, was nominated for four Grammy Awards in 2005, including Record of the Year and Best Rock Song.

About Green Day’s Latest Album Saviors
The band first teased Saviors in late 2023, launching the album rollout with the striking black-and-white video for “The American Dream Is Killing Me.” They followed it up with singles like “Look Ma, No Brains!” and “Dilemma.”
This project comes after their 2020 release, Father of All…, and continues the band’s exploration of modern-day issues through their signature punk sound.
