Green Day Delight Fans In New York With Special ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Tribute
Last night at Citi Field, Green Day delivered an unforgettable performance that left fans buzzing, not just for their high-energy hits, but for a unique and unexpected tribute to Marvel’s latest blockbuster, Deadpool & Wolverine.
During their set, as the band transitioned into the iconic ballad Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life), frontman Billie Joe Armstrong took center stage with an acoustic guitar. But the real surprise came when bassist Mike Dirnt and drummer Tré Cool reappeared on stage, decked out in full superhero attire as Deadpool and Wolverine.
The crowd erupted in cheers as the duo, fully embracing their Marvel personas, playfully threw drumsticks into the audience, adding a layer of fun to the touching performance. The choice of song was particularly fitting, as Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) is featured over the end credits of the blockbuster film, creating a perfect crossover moment between the worlds of rock and superhero cinema.

Billie Joe Armstrong Covers Jesse Malin’s ‘Black Haired Girl’ For Benefit Album
Billie Joe Armstrong, the iconic frontman of Green Day, has released a cover of Jesse Malin’s Black Haired Girl for the tribute and benefit album Silver Patron Saints: The Songs Of Jesse Malin. This album, set for release on September 20th, features a star-studded lineup including Bruce Springsteen, Tom Morello, Frank Turner, Rancid, and many more.

“Jesse is a dear friend to me,” Billie Joe shared. “I love his songwriting. He is all heart, and his passion is endless. We send each other YouTube videos – mostly old Ramones clips and New York Dolls. Every time I’m in New York he goes out of his way to make me, my friends, and my family feel at home. He’s always down for a laugh or a shoulder to cry on. Jesse, we love you and we’d do anything for you.”
Jesse Malin expressed his admiration for Armstrong’s rendition, saying, “When I heard Billie Joe was doing ‘Black Haired Girl,’ I was so blown away. He took it to another level, a lot of attitude, a lot of power, a lot of style, like everything that he does.”
The release ofSilver Patron Saints is highly anticipated, promising a blend of heartfelt performances and a strong sense of community support within the music industry.

Mike Dirnt, who plays bass guitar in the band, talked to Kerrang! about how excited they are. “We’re excited. I’m excited about the fact that people are excited about Dookie and American Idiot’s anniversaries. I mean, the fact that we’re launching a new record at the same time as those albums having their anniversaries is a strange anomaly, but also really awesome. And it gives us an opportunity to put together one hell of a show. We can deviate from it – we can do whatever we want to do – but, man, there’s a lot of friggin’ fun songs to play!”
So, Green Day fans have a lot to look forward to with concerts all around the world in 2024 and the band’s first-ever shows in South Africa in 2025.
