A playful spotlight hit Coachella weekend two when Tre Cool, Green Day’s drummer, shared a cheeky moment on Reddit. Tagged by “Tre’s wife,” he sported a sash reading “ACTUAL HEADLINER,” igniting a wave of festival crowd banter and praise for his humor, energy, and even his pristine eyeshadow despite the sweaty set.
Green Day headlined Coachella on April 19, 2025, delivering a fiery performance loaded with political commentary. Altered lyrics in songs like “American Idiot” and “Jesus of Suburbia” took shots at President Donald Trump and voiced support for Palestine, fueling a charged atmosphere. The show wasn’t without controversy — pyrotechnics sparked a nearby palm tree fire, drawing criticism amid heightened sensitivity around recent local wildfires.
This dual narrative of lighthearted artist-fan camaraderie alongside potent political expression perfectly encapsulates the intense, memorable environment Coachella continues to cultivate.
