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.'

Green Day Is Enjoying Rising On The Charts Once More
Green Day charts three albums in the U.K. this week, with American Idiot and Dookie climbing and ... More Greatest Hits thriving on streaming sites. NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JANUARY 17: Tré Cool, Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt of Green Day visit SiriusXM's 'The Howard Stern Show' at SiriusXM Studio on January 17, 2024 in New York City. (Photo byfor SiriusXM) Music lovers in the United Kingdom can't seem to get enough of Green Day. The pop-punk pioneers have been present on the charts in the country for years, thanks to both continually impressive sales, as well as non-stop streaming activity. Not only are multiple projects from the group currently charting, but all of them are on the way up across a variety of tallies. Three of Green Day's full-lengths appear on various U.K. rankings this week. Sometimes, the group occupies fewer spots, but this is apparently a booming time for the outfit. Two of the projects find space on just one roster apiece, while another appears on a pair of tallies. In all three cases, these collections are enjoying upward movement. American Idiot stands out as Green Day's top performer in the U.K. this week, at least in terms of the total number of rankings it appears on. The politically-charged, Grammy-winning release is on the move across two tallies. On the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart, American Idiot lifts four spaces, landing at No. 14 and inching closer to the top 10 once again. It also improves significantly on the Official Physical Albums list, where it vaults more than 10 spots to hit No. 83. Not far behind American Idiot is Dookie, the group's major label debut and the full-length that helped Green Day break into the mainstream nearly 30 years ago. This week, the title climbs on the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart, rising from No. 36 to No. 29. Dookie remains one of the band's most beloved and reliable performers, even if it's only holding on and finding space on the one tally. Green Day also finds a home on the Official Albums Streaming chart, which ranks the most popular projects across platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and others. That ranking usually favors more current releases, but one of the band's compilations is still going strong, as fans keep pressing play on the full-length…but more likely, a handful of the singles featured on its tracklist. Greatest Hits: God's Favorite Band, the cheekily-titled retrospective, lands at No. 51 this week. That's an improvement of five spaces from the previous period. Both American Idiot and Dookie have previously hit No. 1 on the charts on which they appear this frame. Greatest Hits: God's Favorite Band has not topped the Official Albums Streaming chart, but it's still made a huge impression. The compilation peaked at No. 26, and it has now spent 381 weeks on the list.
