Green Day Alters ‘Jesus of Suburbia’ Lyric In Support Of Palestine At Coachella


After nearly 40 years, Green Day is still using their music as a megaphone to protest the world's injustices.

While headlining Saturday at Coachella, the punk band used their 2004 single ‘Jesus of Suburbia’ to call attention to the suffering of Palestinian children amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. The band’s Bush-era angst from their seventh studio album rang true during their Coachella set, which ended in flames when a rogue firework shot into the crowd and ignited a palm tree, according to TMZ. In addition to Green Day, headliners for Coachella 2025 include Lady Gaga and Post Malone, also featuring performances by Missy Elliott, Charli XCX, Megan Thee Stallion, Benson Boone, Zedd, Shaboozey, Ty Dolla Sign, Misfits, Prodigy, FKA Twigs and Jimmy Eat World.
