Green Day invited a 10-year-old fan on-stage to perform with them during their recent headline show at Outside Lands festival.The rock trio topped the bill at the three-day San Francisco event last Saturday (August 6), delivering a career-spanning 22-track set on the Lands End main stage.At one point in the gig, frontman Billie Joe Armstrong singled out a young crowd member called Montgomery – who the singer nicknamed Monty – and asked him to join Green Day for a special performance.“Do you really know how to play?” Armstrong questioned Montgomery. “Alright, kid – get your ass up here!”Today (August 11), Green Day shared footage of the moment on social media.
The clip sees Armstrong help Monty put on a white guitar. In another fan-shot video, the youngster enthusiastically fist pumped at the crowd.The child – who sported an ‘American Idiot’-style black-and-red get-up – then began strumming along to a cover Operation Ivy‘s 1989 track ‘Knowledge’ before making his way down the runway towards the audience.A post shared by Green Day (@greenday)We Love Montgomery ❤️ Thanks for jamming with us at @sfoutsidelands https://t.co/RhR8fVezFK pic.twitter.com/egPMpW34UA— Green Day (@GreenDay) August 10, 2022Following the special performance, Armstrong told the young fan that he could keep the guitar he’d played on-stage, and led a chant of Monty’s name.
