Green Day fire back at Charli XCX's Coachella dig: ‘Actual headliner'
Green Day have hit back with a playful jab at Charli XCX after she wore an accessory suggesting she should be headlining Coachella 's Saturday lineup.
Following her Weekend 1 performance at the Southern California desert music festival, the 32-year-old British pop star was pictured wearing a 'Miss Should Be Headliner' sash at her afterparty.
Her stunt later went viral, with several fans interpreting it as a dig at the iconic rock band, who performed the festival's main stage immediately after her.
The 'American Idiot' band has since responded to the 'Apple' singer's statement with a picture of their own, showing drummer Tré Cool wearing a sash made out of toilet paper with the words 'Actual Headliner' written across it.
Charli took their retort in her stride, replying, 'Obsessed' to the photo on X.
Green Day had already referenced Charli XCX's jab during their performance earlier that evening when frontman Billie Joe Armstrong was seen sporting a neon green 'Brat' hat in support of the pop star's chart-topping studio album.
Charli XCX included the photo of Armstrong sporting the hat in her Instagram recap post of the weekend's events.
Coachella, which concluded its 2025 edition over Easter weekend, also saw Lady Gaga and Post Malone headline Friday and Sunday, respectively.
The former was praised by fans for her deft handling of a tricky microphone malfunction during the opening minutes of her second headlining set. As she began singing her latest hit single, 'Abracadabra,' Gaga's head mic started to glitch and kept cutting off throughout the track.
The 'Poker Face' hitmaker, however, appeared unperturbed by the issue, continuing to sing and execute her tricky choreography while suspended on top of a towering dress-like structure.
Other major artists on the Coachella 2025 lineup included Missy Elliott, Benson Boone, White Lotus star and BLACKPINK member LISA, Megan Thee Stallion, Zedd and Shaboozey.
Meanwhile, Weekend 2 festivalgoers were treated to a performance by Ed Sheeran, who stepped in as a last-minute replacement for FKA twigs on the Saturday lineup. Her Weekend 1 slot was taken over by the rock band Weezer.
'Not me doing my first Coachella & gagging & throwing up all the way through the set,' the 'Messy' singer said of the incident on TikTok. 'I was nervous guys and it was 40 bloody degrees.'

Ex EastEnders actress has ‘breakdown' as she spots her ribs in picture after illness led to dramatic weight loss
Plus, what Melissa told The Sun about her unintentional weight loss last year 'I HATE IT' Ex EastEnders actress has 'breakdown' as she spots her ribs in picture after illness led to dramatic weight loss Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MELISSA Suffield has shared an emotional post on social media after she unintentionally lost weight because of an illness. Melissa, 32, was diagnosed with small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) after experiencing "horrible nausea" in 2023. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Melissa Suffield has opened up in a candid post Credit: Instagram 5 She has unintentionally lost weight due to SIBO Credit: Instagram 5 Melissa often promotes a positive body image Credit: Instagram Since battling SIBO, the former Lucy Beale star has shed weight unintentionally, with the results of this now visible. Sharing a snap from inside a fitting room, Melissa could be seen donning a bright green plunging dress. "I had a bit of a breakdown today," Melissa began her post. She said: "Today has been not a very good day. "I had a bit of a menty b in the changing rooms while I was filming some bits. "I'm sure light didn't help, but I could see my ribs visible in the middle of my chest," she explained, referring to her chest area visible because of the plunging neckline. Melissa added: "And I just totally lost it. Like, cartoon floods of tears, unable to catch breath, that sort of thing. "You can see it on my face, like I am seconds away from breaking the f*ck down. And that is indeed what then happened." Getting even more emotional, Melissa went on: "It's just such a visible reminder of how much SIBO has taken from me. How much else I've lost along with the weight. 'I HATE IT' "And that doesn't even begin to cover the mental/emotional impact. Former EastEnders star opens up about drastic weight loss after health battle and says she was healthier when she was bigger "The fact that we glorify weight loss so much much is weighing so heavy on me, especially when I look in the mirror and see this. I hate it. "I know there are people who would be overjoyed to see this, but when you lose the weight like this, trust me, it's not a nice feeling. There is no accomplishment. Just a reminder of everything you have lost. "And no matter how often I talk about it, I'm going through it alone. Nobody will ever truly understand, even if they're going through it themselves. "Nobody else will know what I'm thinking when my legs feel so heavy I can barely manage the stairs. Or how lonely it is when you're still awake at 3am because the nausea won't let you lay down." What is SIBO? SIBO is also known as Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth. Melissa experiences nausea, reflux, constipation, and other symptoms like her hair falling out and suffering from dry skin. According to the Mayo Clinic, the condition occurs "when there is an abnormal increase in the overall bacterial population in the small intestine — particularly types of bacteria not commonly found in that part of the digestive tract." Melissa then spoke about how she often talks about body confidence and embracing change, but noted how "this feels different" because there is "nothing to embrace". ANGRY BECAUSE OF SIBO She added how the impact her long term illness has had on her body image is "wild" before saying her body is "broken". The former soap star then said how she has to be a mother, an attentive partner, a cleaner, a cook and everything else in between, but when she was in the changing room, it was just her. "But in that changing room, nobody else, I'm just me. There aren't any responsibilities or asks. "So she puts it all down and she breaks in half. "And then she dries her eyes, and she cracks on. Again," she said. Melissa then revealed the "two good things" to come out of the "breakdown". "I got angry," she penned, revealing the first "good thing". "Yet again, another renewed fire for talking about SIBO. For educating as many people as possible. For helping people understand the symptoms, for forcing healthcare professionals to sit up and listen, for changing the perception, and for advocating for treatment. "A fight I will always show up for, no matter what." She then revealed the second "good thing", saying: "I bought the dress anyway. Because I love the colour, the cut, and of course, the pockets. "I'm not going to let SIBO take anything else from me." 'THERE'S NO JOY' Last year, Melissa opened up about her unintentional weight loss exclusively to The Sun. "Obviously, I've lost quite a lot of weight this year," Melissa began, adding: "But absolutely none of that has been through choice. None of it. Like I'm back in my pre-pregnancy jeans." 'She added: "But there's no joy," noting: "I don't enjoy the fact that that's happened at all in the way that you know, that's like a goal for a lot of people. "A) It was never a goal for me. But B) this is the complete antithesis of whatever I've ever wanted with my body. "So that's been tricky for sure. And then also, just on top of that, like my skin and my hair has been like affected. "Now I'm dealing with feelings of, you know, not enjoying the way that I look, which is frustrating because I've done such a lot of work to get me to a place where." 5 Melissa has a mass following on social media and raises awareness of SIBO while promoting body confidence Credit: Instagram/@

One of the UK's oldest theme parks to open first water ride in 25 years
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A BEACHFRONT theme park is set to open a new log flume ride for the first time in decades. Dreamland in Margate is one of the UK's oldest theme parks, dating back to the 1880s. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Margate's Dreamland is getting a new ride Credit: Getty 3 The theme park last had a log flume 25 years ago Credit: Alamy Becoming the current Dreamland in 1920, it was forced to close a number a number of times, only to be shut for good in 2005. Yet it reopened in 2015 after a huge £25million renovations which has seen a number of new rides and attractions. And one of the newest rides opening this year is the Log Flume. The theme park once had the water ride more than 25 years ago, only to close the ride and sell it off. However, it is set to reopen at the theme park. The park's operation manager Jack King said: "Anyone that works in the attractions industry or is an avid fan of all things Theme Park will appreciate the dying breed that is a UK based classic Log Flume. "It is with absolute pride to see the installation of our new classic Reverchon Log Flume. "It is so exciting to actually say Dreamland Margate will be opening its first Log Flume in about 25 years." An official opening date for the ride is yet to be confirmed. In the mean time, you can also ride the Scenic Railway, one of the oldest wooden rollercoasters in the UK. The tiny UK theme park reopening next month which has seaside views and the oldest rollercoaster in the country The Big Wheel, Pirate Ship, Dodgems and Rock 'N' Roller roller coaster are some other rides at the park. Inside there is a huge roller rick and arcade as well. And the theme park also runs a number of live music events, with big name acts this year include Haim, Tom Jones, McFly, Dizzee Rascal and Billy Ocean. The theme park is free to visit, although they introduced new rider wristbands this year. The £24.99 all-day wristbands give guests unlimited access to the rides. Some even said Dreamland once rivalled Disneyland. Chris Britcher, who grew up in Kent, told local media: "The early eighties was a time when the ultimate holiday seemed to be a mortgage-busting ticket to Florida and the Disney parks. "But to me, as enticing as some of the rides across the pond seemed, Disney's saccharine brand was enough to make Dreamland, the theme park formerly known, temporarily, as Bembom Brothers, appear to have their beating at every level. "This was British charm, soaked in temperamental British sunshine and with good old British grit and grime thrown in. Here is another major attraction opening at a UK theme park. And a brand new theme park is opening in Europe - here is everything we know so far.

Major update in Liam Payne death investigation with trial date set
Two men accused of supplying drugs to former One Direction singer Liam Payne just hours before his fatal fall from a hotel balcony will face trial, Argentinian prosecutors have confirmed. Braian Nahuel Paiz, 25, a restaurant waiter, and Ezequiel David Pereyra, 24, a former hotel employee, have been in custody since early January. They stand accused of selling cocaine to the British musician, who died on October 16, 2024, after falling from the third floor of the Casa Sur Hotel in Buenos Aires. The Little Things hitmaker was a beloved UK musician after rising to fame alongside his former bandmates Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, and Harry Styles on The X Factor in 2010. In a statement released by Argentina's public prosecution service, Prosecutor Andrés Esteban Madrea confirmed the pair would go to trial, facing potential prison sentences of up to 15 years if convicted of drug trafficking offenses. 'Braian Nahuel Paiz, who met Payne while working as a waiter in Puerto Madero, and Ezequiel David Pereyra, a former employee at the hotel where the incident occurred, are charged with the crime of selling drugs,' the statement read. Forensic investigations revealed Payne had consumed cocaine through both snorting and smoking shortly before his death. An autopsy showed he died from severe polytrauma and internal and external bleeding, and toxicology reports detected a combination of substances in his system, including cocaine, alcohol (at 2.7 grams per litre), methylecgonine, benzoylecgonine, cocaethylene, and the antidepressant sertraline. 'The toxicological analysis confirmed Liam Payne had ingested cocaine at least 72 hours before his death and possibly as recently as a few minutes before falling from the hotel balcony,' authorities said. Three other individuals initially charged in connection with Payne's death – his close friend Rogelio Nores, hotel receptionist Esteban Grassi, and head of hotel security Gilda Martin – were cleared of wrongdoing after an appeal overturned a lower court's manslaughter accusations. No date has been set for the trial of Paiz and Pereyra, but proceedings are expected to begin soon. More Trending Speaking from his Buenos Aires jail cell in an interview with local outlet Infobae, Paiz denied selling cocaine to Payne, though he admitted to having shared drugs with the pop star. 'I don't know what I'm doing here, I'm a good person,' he said. 'I shared drugs with Liam but I didn't sell them.' The young waiter described himself as a longtime marijuana user and expressed regret over the connection he formed with Payne. 'I regret giving Liam my Instagram because everything spiralled from there,' he said. 'If I hadn't, I'd probably be working or studying today. I miss my freedom, my family, my mom, and my sisters.'
