Green Day made a fiery debut at Coachella 2025, opening their long-anticipated set with the politically charged anthem “American Idiot.” Footage of the electrifying moment is already making waves across social media.
Originally released in 2004, “American Idiot” remains one of the band’s most iconic protest songs, earning four Grammy nominations in 2005 for Record of the Year, Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal, Best Rock Song, and Best Music Video.
Fans eager to catch Green Day’s first-ever Coachella appearance can tune in live on Coachella’s official YouTube channel. The festival is offering a full livestream experience across both weekends, featuring performances from multiple stages via six different channels.
Ahead of their Coachella debut, Green Day hinted in an interview with Rolling Stone that the set would be a high-energy, emotional experience. They encouraged attendees to “bring your rage, your hope, and your loudest voice” — a promise they certainly delivered on.
