Grammy Award winning US rock band Green Day impresses South African fans with a set including Basket Case and American Idiot.


In their first South African performance, Green Day thrilled Joburg audiences with a two hour set that included hits from throughout their career.

Green Day headlined the Big Concerts Calabash South Africa event performing alongside The Offspring and local favourites Fokofpolisiekar.

The three bands will perform next at DHL Stadium in Cape Town on Thursday.
