One of the greatest punk bands of all time, Green Day, put on a spectacular and energetic show on the Main Stage for their first time at Rock in Rio. Their lively show included many classics songs and was considered one of the best concerts of the festival.
Green Day brought the first day of the Reading Festival to a vibrant close that cemented the view both veterans were trading on tried and tested values. Highlights from their trio of recent albums, notably the anthemic ’99 Revolutions’, contrasted well with crowd-pleasing rabble-rousers, among them ‘Know Your Enemy’. At the heart of the set was a run-through their breakthrough album Dookie, 20 years young next year. The punk-pop threesome sped through it so quickly that less memorable material was soon forgotten as they hurried to the evergreen ‘Basket Case’ and the romantic ‘She’.
