Overview
- Billie Joe Armstrong joined Dua Lipa on Oct. 12 at San Francisco's Chase Center for a duet of Green Day's 2004 hit "Wake Me Up When September Ends" during the tour's second SF show.
- The guest spot extended Lipa's tour tradition of city-specific surprise songs, which has recently included appearances by Gwen Stefani in Los Angeles and Lenny Kravitz, Nile Rodgers and Alicia Keys in New York.
- Fan-shot video shows Armstrong singing the first verse solo before Lipa comes in on the chorus, with the arena crowd loudly singing along.
- Introducing the tribute, Lipa praised Green Day's "rawness" and the space their music holds for those who "feel like sometimes they might not belong."
- Lipa later called the duet "beyond surreal" on Instagram and now turns to two Seattle dates before continuing to Mexico City and South America, after covering Janis Joplin's "Piece of My Heart" the previous night.
