For their second song, Know Your Enemy, their baby-faced Billie Joe Armstrong pulls a young fan from the crowd for some toe-curling awkwardness as he attempts a sing-along. Reading Festival 2013: Green Day bring the unexpected Billie Joe Armstrong gives one fan a night he'll never forget. (Picture: PA Wire) 'The greatest festival in the world.' Declares Armstrong, the king of the schmooze. As the night goes on this turns out to be one of the sanest sentences to leave his lips, specially when he promises to 'clear away all of the murder, all of the corporations, all of the corruption'. The set was Green Day's first billed appearance at Reading Festival since they last headlined in 2004, less than a month before they released their comeback album American Idiot. Holiday and Boulevard Of Broken Dreams from that album, back to back, elicit some of the greatest reactions from the huge Main Stage crowd during their two and a quarter hour long set. Reading Festival 2013: Green Day bring the unexpected Welcome to Billie Joe Armstrong Paradise. After Wake Me Up When September Ends comes the great surprise of the night. To mark the fast approaching 20 year anniversary of Dookie, coming February 2014, they lower a stage backdrop with the eponymous album cover and proceed to play it in its entirety. From Burnout to ., via When I Come Around and Basket Case, the near hour-long section certainly divides new and old fans but united they come out the otherside, better off for staying with it. Other highlights include a cover of AC/DC's Highway To Hell, a pink bunny and a toilet roll cannon. You certainly can't accuse Green Day of acting their age, given the trio have now all reached the big 40 milestone. Lyrics: Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go So make the best of this test, and don't ask why It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right, I hope you had the time of your life. So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial For what it's worth it was worth all the while It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right, I hope you had the time of your life. It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right, I hope you had the time of your life. It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right, I hope you had the time of your life.
