Green Day surprised the commuters at New York’s Rockefeller Center subway station on Tuesday evening when the three-piece band consisting of vocalist and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong and backing vocalist and bassist Mike Drint along with their drummer Tré Cool performed a setlist of six songs that included both their old and new songs. 

It all began when the band members stepped out of a train, donning a disguised look with fake wigs and beards paired with sunglasses and hats. They steadily sauntered toward the instruments and started playing a cover of Bad Company’s Feel Like Makin’ Love. Until this moment, the gathered crowd thought that the trio was just another music band.

Green Day took those innocent onlookers by surprise when they revealed their true identity. Apart from the aforementioned Bad Company cover, they also covered Rock and Roll All Nite by KISS. 

Green Day then went on to perform fan-favorite songs like Basket Case, Look Ma, No Brains, and American Idiot. The setlist for the night also included a new song titled Dilemma from their upcoming album SAVIORS which will hit the shelves and the music platforms on January 19. The taped version of their NYC subway gig will air on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on a later date that has not yet been disclosed.
