Green Day Play Coachella

Coachella remains militant about not letting recordings of the concert appear online, but Variety has a good rundown of Green Day’s performance over the weekend:

Green Day is nothing, if not always, a political act. And so of course there was something to be expected as a statement during their debut headlining performance at Coachella on Saturday night, when they tweaked the lyrics of “Jesus of Suburbia” to reflect the ongoing war between Israel and Palestine.

While performing the song, lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong sang, “Runnin’ away from pain, like the kids from Palestine / Tales from another broken home.” The original song lyrics from 2004’s “American Idiot” were, “Runnin’ away from pain when you’ve been victimized.”
