California Governor Gavin Newsom was spotted at Green Day's pre-Super Bowl show on February 7, 2026. The event took place at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena. Newsom was also seen at the Green Day show in 2019, and he has been a long-time fan of the band.

Newsom's appearance at the show comes as he continues to promote his 'Bad Bunny Day' declaration in California. The day is set to coincide with Bad Bunny's halftime show performance at Super Bowl LX on February 7, 2026. Newsom has been a vocal supporter of Bad Bunny and has praised his music in the past.

The Governor's attendance at the Green Day show has also sparked a feud with Kid Rock, who has been banned from performing in California due to his past controversies. Newsom has been critical of Kid Rock's music and has called for him to be banned from performing in the state.

The pre-Super Bowl show was a major event, with many celebrities in attendance. Newsom's appearance at the show was seen as a major coup for Green Day and their fans.

The Governor's love for music has been well-documented, and his attendance at the Green Day show is just the latest example of his passion for live music.
