Green Day recently performed in San Diego on 28th September. During their show, they performed Brain Stew but frontman Billie Joe Armstrong sang the wrong lyrics.

Green Day finished the North American leg of their Saviors tour at Petco Park in San Diego. The entire tour began in Santiago de Compostela, Spain this May and finishes May 30th 2025 in Mumbai. This tour was launched in support of Saviors, Green Day’s fourteenth album.
After thirty-five years on the road, the band has learned a few things about holding an audience. Green Day’s performance included lots of flash-bang occurrences using fireworks to punctuate their songs, along with a full stage assortment of lighting effects.
This tour was a four-act bill in North America consisting of The Linda Lindas, Rancid, Smashing Pumpkins, and Green Day. That’s a pretty big show, given the reasonable ticket prices.
There is currently a lot of discussion about the fluctuating demand for tickets to major events. Consumers seem to be hesitant to spend money, resulting in an increase in unsold tickets due to economic pressures. However, when Green Day performs, it’s still an event that shouldn’t be missed.
Ticket prices remained reasonable, even at the last minute in San Diego, where “obstructed view” tickets were added shortly before the show and sold for $36 each. These seats had a noted obstruction due to protective netting against foul balls in the baseball stadium. The netting was still in place because the Padres are still in contention for the playoffs. A tip for nighttime shows: once it’s dark, the netting is not visible, and the stage video screens provide a clear view with no impact on sound.
The Saviors tour focused on the 30th anniversary of the Dookie album and the 20th anniversary of American Idiot.
