Green Day

In August 1994, during their performance at the Woodstock Festival, Green Day was in the midst of a significant phase in their career. They had recently released their third studio album, "Dookie," in February of that year, which catapulted them to mainstream success. The album featured hit singles like "When I Come Around," the very song performed at Woodstock, and it was instrumental in bringing punk rock back into the mainstream music scene. The band's energetic and chaotic performance at Woodstock not only showcased their popularity but also solidified their reputation as a leading act in the punk genre. An interesting fact about this performance is that it became iconic for the mud fight that ensued, illustrating the festival's carefree and wild atmosphere, which resonated with the band's youthful and rebellious image. This event marked a turning point for Green Day, leading to their explosive rise in popularity throughout the '90s.
