Green Day Invites Fan On Stage to Close Coachella 2025 Set

#BillieJoeArmstrong of #GreenDay invites #fan on #mainstage to close out #Coachella2025 set with #GoodRiddance ( #TimeofYourLife ) on Saturday, April 12, 2025.

The fan, Tommy Lloyd from @20KRio , had been holding up a tee-shirt requesting to play #guitar for the entire show prior.

He made the best of this test and did not ask why.

Talk about shooting your shot and seizing the moment.

Additionally, we need more #rockstars like BJ / Green Day.

Top notch performance and exemplary behaviour towards #fanculture — may the collective music industry take notes.

🤘 #ROCKANDROLL FOREVER ♾️

How to annoy Billie Joe Armstrong in under 60 secs
1. Grab his guitar instead of waiting for him to hand it to you
2. Immediately turn your back to him and take command of the stage
3. turn your back to him again after he tells you to knock off the 'I'm a pro guitar player routine'
4. Speed up the tempo for the second verse
5. Look like an antagonist jock in a 90s teen drama

This dude made it all about himself, didnt even do it for the excitement as a fan, bro just wanted his 15 min of clout

[bobjomes]

He wasn’t being rude. It was called sarcasm

[caseybentley]

he’s handsome” yes he is Billie yes he is!

[Cuppa]

He pretty much took Billie’s guitar from him without any approval. The he goes down the stage(which is fine) but the trying to pump up the ground by saying “I can’t hear you” and that’s when Billie pulled him over to him and he played the song. The reason Billie wanted HIS guitar back was to close the show out with Tre and Mike. Then you can see the same guy 2 or 3 times trying to talk to Tre. Who was rude again?

[jamesgarland]

This was clearly planned beforehand as the guy made a video from the day before saying this was ganna happen. Weird interaction forsure .

[MrRUGDUDE]

Good for him!!. Seems like all the dudes are rippin on him and all the chicks are diggin on him! A lot of news coverage so he did something right, right?

[hankstopher]

Billie asked for his guitar back please and you’re saying that’s rude? People pointed out how rude it was that this fan immediately took billles guitar and walked away from him across the stage and that was disrespectful. And I find that to be a valid point. I even feel like the “oooh oooh ooh “ Billie sang at the end is a cool inside joke about the nature of the events that just unfolded.

The dude took the mans vintage Gibson (easily over $5k), not only that but as a musician when you borrow someone else's instrument, You need to baby that thing and be gentle. The dude had a heavy strumming hand digging real deep in the strings for no reason and was over extending his presence on the stage over the main artist.

Why did he have to take the guitar back so rudely?
