Donald Trump criticized the band Green Day and singer Bad Bunny in an interview with the New York Post. He said that the choice of the lineup was “a terrible choice”.
Super Bowl 2026 will be held on Sunday, February 8, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, and will feature Green Day for the opening show and Bad Bunny for the halftime show.
When asked about his availability to attend the NFL final, Donald Trump said he could not attend and took the opportunity to complain about the artists who would perform at the biggest TV event in the U.S.
“I’m against them. I think it’s a terrible choice. All it does is sow hate. Terrible,” said the U.S. president.
Despite the harsh criticism, the Republican also mentioned other reasons for not attending the final, which will be contested between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks.
“It’s just too far,” he said. “I would go. I’ve had great invitations to the Super Bowl, they like me. I would go if, you know, it was a little shorter,” he added.
The band Green Day and Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny are known for publicly criticizing Donald Trump since he took office.
In early 2025, Bad Bunny released the song “Nuevayol,” which contains an imitation of the president “apologizing” to U.S. immigrants.
“I want to apologize to the immigrants in America. … This country is nothing without immigrants. This country is nothing without Mexicans, Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, Colombians, Venezuelans, Cubans.”
Green Day has always been known for criticizing the U.S., such as with their album “American Idiot,” released in 2004, which follows the disillusionment of a middle-class teenager post-9/11 and the Iraq War.
And in July 2025, lead singer Billy Joe Armstrong led a chant from the crowd at the Download Festival in the UK, calling Donald Trump’s government “fascist.”
