Green_Day_-_Warped_Tour_2000

Green Day light stage on fire, keep playing during Warped Tour set 16 years ago

Green Day’s only time performing on the stages of Warped Tour took place during the summer of 2000. While the band didn’t perform the entire tour due to show commitments overseas, they spent over a month at punk-rock summer camp.

In light of yet another Warped Tour taking place in 2016, let’s take a look back at this classic video of Green Day closing out their set in Montreal, 16 years ago. Tre Cool trashes his drum set and lights it on fire, Mike Dirnt violently jabs the headstock of his bass into their backline and Billie Joe offers a fan-fueled performance of “Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life).” (Spoiler alert: This is quite possibly the most punk thing you will ever see—prepare yourself.)
