Not an American Idiot
Green Day gave an energetic performance this week on Wednesday, Sept. 11, at Globe Life Field in Arlington. Before the band came on stage, The Linda Lindas, Rancid, and Smashing Pumpkins warmed up the crowd.
It was a multigenerational audience, with young kids, teens, and older adults all dressed up for the concert. Right before the performance began, the crowd shared a connecting moment with everyone singing along to Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody,” including the security guards.
Then Green Day ran on stage with their song “The American Dream is Killing Me.” Despite it being 30 years since the release of their hit album Dookie, Green Day still has the same energy and loyal fans.
Frontman Billie Joe Armstrong rocked an all-black ensemble, with his blond bouncing hair and, as one little boy described it, “guy-liner.” Drummer Tré Cool served with his blue hair and matching shorts, and bassist Mike Dirnt started in an orange jumpsuit, later changing to a sleek sleeveless black fit.
