Green Day Address Supposed Charli XCX Rivalry At Coachella

After she played Coachella last weekend, Charli XCX went to an afterparty wearing a pageant sash that said “Miss Should Be Headliner.” Although she’ll headline various European festivals this summer, at Coachella Charli’s set time was a few hours before actual headliners Green Day. When a photo of that sash began circulating online, some people got pissed over the implication that Charli might think she’s a better artist than Green Day. Green Day are better at taking a joke than those people are. They proved as much at their Weekend 2 Coachella set, during which Billie Joe Armstrong happily took an audience member’s neon green Brat cap and wore it himself. (Incidentally, Green Day have a song titled “Brat” on their 1995 album Insomniac, but they didn’t play it last night.)
