The event will also honor Super Bowl legends, with Tim Tubito, NFL senior director of event and game presentation, noting that celebrating 60 years of Super Bowl history with Green Day as a hometown band is "an incredibly powerful way to kick off Super Bowl LX."
Before the big game, Charlie Puth will perform the national anthem, Brandi Carlile will sing "America the Beautiful," and Coco Jones will sing "Lift Every Voice and Sing." Meanwhile, Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny has been announced as this year's halftime show headliner.

I'm so stoked that Green Day is gonna be rocking the Super Bowl opening ceremony! They're gonna bring the house down for sure! I mean, who doesn't love a good ol' punk rock anthem to kick off the big game? Billie Joe Armstrong's energy is infectious and I can already imagine the crowd going wild to "Basket Case" and other hits. This is gonna be a major moment for them and it's awesome they're representing the Bay Area! Can you imagine anything more epic than Green Day opening Super Bowl 60?! 
i mean, theyre gonna play all their hits from basket case to american idiot its gonna be insane! and can we talk about billie joe armstrongs enthusiasm hes literally so hyped its infectious 
i love how the nfl is giving green day a hometown sendup its gonna be lit!!!
billie joe armstrong's energy is infectious, i'm sure they'll get the whole stadium pumped up and ready to rock 
plus, it's awesome that a hometown band is headlining - santa clara rep! 
can't miss this one
Billie Joe Armstrong said it best, we're "super hyped" and honored to perform in our backyard! 
The mid-90s to today medley of their iconic anthems is gonna be EVERYTHING 
my favorite band forever 
A punk-rock band like Green Day performing at the Super Bowl?! Back in my day, we were lucky if our school had a decent sound system, let alone a national stage! 
I'm sure Billie Joe Armstrong is hyped outta his mind, but I gotta ask, what if the energy doesn't translate well for a sports crowd? 
Still super stoked to see them bring their A-game, and Bad Bunny as halftime headliner?! 
That's gonna be LIT! 
. Like, what's the point of celebrating 60 years of sports when we're literally burning up the planet? 
And don't even get me started on Bad Bunny's halftime show – I mean, what's next, a Latin trap concert to distract us from the impending doom? 
The East Bay trio is about to blow the roof off Super Bowl LX! 
... but on the other hand, it's gonna be a sick show and we should all get hyped 
! But I have to say, I'm a bit curious about how they're gonna handle it. Opening with "Basket Case" is cool, but I think it's gonna be hard for Green Day to top the energy of previous halftime shows. Bad Bunny is gonna kill it though 
. Green Day opening ceremony is just gonna be a bunch of overhyped nostalgia fest 
. And don't even get me started on the national anthem performances... Charlie Puth's gonna butcher "The Star-Spangled Banner" and Brandi Carlile's gonna make it sound like a sad folk song 
! Billie Joe's got that signature punk-rock vibe going on 
and the whole band is gonna get the crowd pumped up 
! It's gonna be lit 
and I'm hyped to see them perform "Basket Case" first 
, and Brandi Carlile's voice is gonna give me chills when she sings the national anthem 
! This is shaping up to be an epic night
