Green Day Alters Coachella Setlist to Include Pro-Palestinian and Anti-Trump Lyrics

Billie Joe Armstrong modified iconic tracks to criticize Israel and conservative politics, drawing both praise and condemnation.

During their Coachella 2025 performance, Green Day changed lyrics in 'Jesus of Suburbia' to highlight Palestinian suffering, referencing 'kids from Palestine.'
The band also altered 'American Idiot,' replacing 'redneck agenda' with 'MAGA agenda,' continuing their critique of Donald Trump and conservative ideologies.
These changes are part of Green Day's long history of politically charged performances, which have previously targeted figures like George W. Bush and JD Vance.
The performance has sparked polarized reactions, with some viewing it as a bold stand for social justice and others criticizing it as partisan activism.
Green Day’s set at the high-profile festival underscores the intersection of music and activism in contemporary artistic expression.
