Green Day, protagonists of historic start

The trio consisting of Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool will perform a selection of their most iconic anthems, including "Basket Case", "Longview", "Good Riddance" and "American Idiot".
"We're super excited to kick off Super Bowl 60 in our own backyard," Armstrong said in an official statement. "We are honored to welcome the MVPs who have shaped the sport and open the night for fans around the world."
The presentation will also pay tribute to generations of Super Bowl Most Valuable Players, who will accompany the band during their exit to the field, in a staging full of symbolism and history.
