Playing 24 songs – full setlist below – the Green Day frontman wowed the packed out intimate venue with classic rock tunes including ‘I Wanna Be Sedated’ by Ramones and ‘Summer of ’69’ by Bryan Adams.
The audience sang along to the The Clash, Generation X, The Damned and David Bowie, while surprise guest Courtney Love joined the band onstage for a thrilling version of ‘He’s a Whore’ by Cheap Trick and ‘Even the Losers’ by Tom Petty. See our exclusive live footage below.
The Hole star returned to the stage at the end of the set for another Cheap Trick song ‘Surrender’.
The gig was only announced late last week at the Garage in Highbury, North London with another sold out show set to take place on Friday at the iconic 100 Club on Oxford Street. Support for both shows is Birmingham four-piece Lovebreakers who release their second album ‘Wonder’ on Friday.
