Green Day and Jimmy Fallon took to an NYC Subway train to surprise the crowd with an impromptu performance of ‘American Idiot.’

Green Day is set to release their fourteenth studio album ‘Saviors’ on January 19, 2024, nearly four years after their last full release.

To promote their upcoming album, the legendary rockers performed on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon — but did it in a rather unique way.

Fallon and the band took to the NYC Subway to perform ‘American Idiot,’ and fans absolutely loved it.
