Billie Joe Armstrong kicks fan offstage for playing Oasis' 'Wonderwall' during Green Day concert
Green Day's concert in Luxembourg on June 30 took an unexpectedly comedic turn when a fan, invited by Billie Joe Armstrong to play "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)," began strumming Oasis' iconic hit "Wonderwall" instead.
Green Day is known for wrapping up their shows with a special acoustic performance of “Good Riddance,” often inviting fans onstage to join in. However, this time, the fan had other plans. Armstrong, caught off guard, exhaled with a laugh and remarked, "Nice try, nice try," before removing the guitar from the fan's shoulders and ushering him offstage. Armstrong then continued with the performance, playing "Good Riddance" on his own.

The moment, captured on video, quickly went viral, sparking laughter and conversation online. Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher, who has recently sparked controversy for a racially insensitive tweet, humorously responded to the video by declaring the "Best song of the night" on X (formerly Twitter), adding to the playful nature of the exchange.

Gallagher's controversial tweet, which included a racial slur, had ignited a wave of backlash ahead of Oasis's upcoming reunion tour. Despite the online controversy, Gallagher’s lighthearted comment added a bit of humor to the situation. Whether the fan’s choice to play “Wonderwall” was a simple mistake or a cheeky nod to Oasis' legacy—especially with their long-awaited reunion tour kicking off in Cardiff just a few days later—it was all in good fun.
Green Day’s European tour continues, celebrating the anniversaries of their landmark albums “Dookie” and “American Idiot,” while Oasis gears up for their first tour in 16 years. The playful exchange between Green Day and Oasis fans only underscores the musical crossover between the two iconic bands, further cemented by a viral 2004 mashup of “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” and “Wonderwall.”
This moment will likely go down as one of the most amusing and memorable fan interactions during Green Day's ongoing European performances.
