Green Day performed another surprise show at a small venue in San Francisco, Tuesday night.

Taking place at the Mezzanine in downtown San Francisco, hints of the band’s performance was initially tweeted by the Surfrider Foundation’s Twitter: “Wouldn’t it be cool if Green Day showed up at your party and played a set.
