Watch Green Day play Haushinka for the first time since 1997

At Santiago, Chile’s Parque Estadio Nacional on Saturday night, Green Day treated their South American fans to an incredibly rare Nimrod track.

As part of The Saviors Tour – which has seen them dip into all sorts of songs from their back-catalogue – the band unveiled Haushinka live for the first time in almost 30 years, 10 songs into their setlist. “From Berkeley to Santiago… Haushinka lives!!! First time playing this one since ’97,” they posted afterwards.

Speaking to Kerrang! in June, Billie Joe Armstrong revealed his excitement about surprising fans during these shows: “We’ll play something like Going To Pasalacqua [1990] or 2000 Light Years Away [1991], where it’s these Easter eggs that we put into the set. The great thing about when you play some of the stuff that people aren’t expecting in the setlist, it’s like, ‘Oh my gosh, I can’t believe they played that song! God, I wish I was there!’ That part’s really fun.”

In that same interview, the frontman also explained that once these final few dates on The Saviors Tour are over, Green Day will probably take a bit of a break. “I think we’ll be done by the end of this year,” Billie Joe said. “It’s a good time, and we’re not gonna try to do anything like a victory lap or be overbearing, or cash in, in any way. It’s like, ‘This has been a really great time for us, and so let’s leave it at a great time and then go home.’”
