The 5 Best Moments From Forecastle Festival
The Replacements Find a New Replacement
We expected the Replacements’ late-afternoon set on Sunday to be loose. What we didn’t expect was an unannounced cameo by Green Day frontman Billy Joe Armstrong, who reportedly joined the group for a single rehearsal before happily gatecrashing their entire set. Armstrong played rhythm guitar and spent most of the performance by the drum riser, leaving the spotlight to Paul Westerberg. When Westerberg’s mic stand collapsed during the opening lines of “Can’t Hardly Wait,” though, Armstrong ran toward the front of the stage to help him out — and planted a kiss on his hero’s lips before back into the eaves. How punk rock.
