Billie Joe Armstrong performed a secret show with the Coverups, an all-covers band that includes Jason White, at the Cornerstone in Berkeley, California, Wednesday.
The 30-song set list included covers of songs Armstrong has sung with Green Day, such as Ozzy Osbourne’s “Crazy Train,” David Bowie’s “Ziggy Stardust,” and Bryan Adams’ “Summer of ’69.”
The set list also featured covers of songs like Nirvana’s “Drain You,” the Strokes’ “Last Nite,” the Go-Go’s “We Got the Beat,” Misfits’ “Where Eagles Dare,” and Cheap Trick’s “Surrender.”
The Coverups, formed in 2018 by Armstrong and Green Day bassist Mike Dirnt, have played at least one gig a year since their inception, with the exception of 2020.
The Coverups announced the Berkeley concert on their Instagram page the day of the show and are set to perform at the Notes & Words benefit concert at Oakland’s Fox Theater on May 2.
