It's all happening and live at Times Square in New York City. Hosts Ryan Seacrest and 'Katy Keene' Lucy Hale are not letting the spirit dampen despite a heavy spell of rain. As they added to the infectious energy, the audience had their loudest cheers reserved for the performers.

'Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin Eve 2020' is on air on ABC and the line-up is only getting interesting by the minute. After Dua Lipa, 1986-formed American rock band Green Day took center stage to entertain the audience with their popular track 'When I Come Around'.

The crowd was sent down the memory lane as they cheered the band on both online and offline. It was high on energy and extremely nostalgic for those who had seen the band grow from strength to strength. 

"Let me skip all the nonsense and allow me to watch all the Green Day content for the evening thanks #RockinEve," a fan wrote. While another tweeted: "@GreenDay
sounds the same as when I heard them for the first time 25 years ago. #RockinEve."

"I just turned on #RockinEve and Green Day is playing. The front row does not know any lyrics lol. Also how tf has the band not changed their hair styles in 15 years? Half of my friends are balding and these fuckers are still rockin full manes," expressed another fan.

However, funniest reactions came from those who grew up listening to the band and were convinced that most in the crowd had no idea what the band was playing simply because they belong to a newer generation that has been fed on pop music. 

This 31st marks the 48th year of 'Dick Clark's New Year's Rocking Eve 2020', which is quite a special landmark. Also, taking up hosting duties are Ciara and Billy Porter in Los Angeles and New Orleans, respectively.
