Green Day Trolled by Fan Who Was Invited On Stage to Play ‘Good Riddance' But Did an Oasis Hit Instead
Billie Joe Armstrong didn't exactly get what he bargained for when he invited a fan on stage at a recent concert. As has become tradition at Green Day concerts, the frontman handed over one of his acoustic guitars Monday (June 30) to a lucky fan plucked from the audience in Luxembourg, giving him the chance to perform alongside the band on 'Good Riddance.' But in clips captured from the show, the fan instead starts playing the wrong chords as Armstrong looks visibly confused.

Then, the fan started playing the chord progression of Oasis' biggest hit, 'Wonderwall.' Realization dawning on his face, Armstrong took the guitar back from the fan, who was quickly ushered offstage by a member of the crew. 'Oh, f–k!' Armstrong says in the clip. 'Nice try, nice try.' The interaction comes amid Green Day's The Saviors Tour, which kicked off in May 2024. It marks just the latest viral moment from the trek, with Armstrong recently making headlines for flipping off a concertgoer for seemingly spraying him with a water gun during the show. The band has also been playing a number of festivals in 2025, appearing at Coachella, BottleRock and Download Festival in the U.K. The latter was particularly memorable as Armstrong paused the performance to call out the United States government, telling the crowd: 'Donald Trump and his administration is a fascist government. And it's up to us to fight back.' In May, Armstrong and his bandmates were honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. 'I hope everybody comes here and takes pictures for as long as you want to and as long as you can,' bassist Mike Dirnt said during the ceremony. 'We'll never say 'thank you' enough.'

Rock Icon, 53, Kicks Fan Off Stage During Live Concert
Rock Icon, 53, Kicks Fan Off Stage During Live Concert originally appeared on Parade. Billie Joe Armstrong brought a fan up on stage during the Green Day concert in Luxembourg on June 29, but things didn't end the way many thought they would. Before playing their hit song "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)," the band brought a fan on stage to play the song on the guitar, which has become a sort of tradition during the rock group's Saviors tour. This time around, however, the fan got up on stage and, though he said he knew the chords for "Good Riddance," ended up playing the intro to "Wonderwall" by Oasis. Once Armstrong figured it out, he reacted with, "f--- me," before taking the guitar off the fan and kicking him off the stage. A clip of the interaction popped up on social media where other fans reacted, many upset that this one fan not only trolled the band, but also took a cool opportunity away from someone else. "Why do people keep taking once in a lifetime opportunities from real Green Day fans," one person wondered. "He took this opportunity away from actual green day fans. That hurt the most," someone else added. "The crappy thing about this is he not only ruined his chance to play with an amazing band, but someone else lost out too. Such a shame," echoed a third Instagram user. "Dude had ONE shot to play with them, and he fumbles it like that? Bruh," a fourth comment read. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 Rock Icon, 53, Kicks Fan Off Stage During Live Concert first appeared on Parade on Jul 1, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 1, 2025, where it first appeared.
