Super Bowl LX Features Amazing Performances by Green Day, Coco Jones, Brandi Carlile, and Charlie Puth
Super Bowl LX commenced with impressive performances from a lineup of talented pregame artists, including Green Day, Coco Jones, Brandi Carlile, and Charlie Puth.
Coco Jones opened the show with a soulful rendition of “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” often referred to as the Black National Anthem. This powerful ballad, originating in the early 20th century, has made its way into the Super Bowl’s musical lineup in recent years. Previous performances have included renditions by Alicia Keys in 2021, gospel duo Mary Mary in 2022, Sheryl Lee Ralph in 2023, Andra Day in 2024, and Ledisi in 2025. Jones’s heartfelt performance captivated the audience.
Next, the iconic rock band Green Day, hailing from the Bay Area, headlined the event’s opening ceremony. Led by vocalist Billie Joe Armstrong, the group welcomed a host of Super Bowl MVPs onto the field, delivering a medley of hits including “Holiday,” “Boulevard of Broken Dreams,” and “American Idiot.” The four-time Grammy winners electrified the audience, especially during Armstrong’s standout guitar solo. While he was briefly censored for singing a controversial lyric, the incident went unnoticed by viewers at home.
Despite expectations for a politically charged statement from Armstrong, no such remarks materialized during the performance. Instead, he enthusiastically shouted, “Welcome to the Bay! It’s Super Bowl 60,” celebrating the game’s landmark anniversary.
Brandi Carlile followed, delivering a heartfelt rendition of “America the Beautiful,” accompanied by two string musicians. Her powerful voice resonated with the crowd, eliciting cheers and emotional responses from athletes present.
Finally, Charlie Puth took the stage, showcasing his vocal prowess while playing the keyboard for the National Anthem. His performance concluded with a dramatic military flyover, leading into the coin toss and the much-anticipated game between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots.
