Green Day have found themselves in trouble. Some Las Vegas radio stations have banned the band from their playlists after frontman Billie Joe Armstrong called the city “the worst s**thole in America”.
On September 20th, during a performance at San Francisco’s Oracle Park, Armstrong criticized John Fisher, the current owner of the Oakland Athletics baseball team, for deciding to move the team to Las Vegas.
“We don’t take no s**t from people like John fu**ing Fisher who sold out the Oakland A’s to Las f***ing Vegas,” Armstrong, an Oakland native, reportedly said. “I hate Las Vegas. It’s the worst sh**hole in America.”
The decision to move the Oakland A’s from California to Nevada has been quite controversial among the team’s fans, with some heard chanting “f*** John Fisher” at the team’s final game in Oakland last week, where they have played for nearly 60 years.
The A’s will play in Sacramento for the next three years ahead of moving to a stadium on the Las Vegas Strip – that has yet to be built – in 2028.
After Armstrong’s bold comments, Las Vegas rock station KOMP 92.3 announced they were pulling all Green Day music. “KOMP 92.3 has pulled any and all Green Day from our playlist,” they wrote on Instagram. “It’s not us, Billie … it’s you. #vegas4ever.”
Alternative rock station X 107.5 shared a statement announcing their own ban on their website, with the decision also announced on air. “Well, Sin City heard [Armstrong] loud and clear – and X107.5 is not having it,” they wrote. “In response to Armstrong’s inflammatory comments, the station is banning all Green Day music, effective immediately … we’re breaking up with Green Day completely. Bye Bye, Billie!”
