[pic=Green Day at the Captain Cook Hotel]022014_captainhook.jpg[/pic]Late Thursday night in Sydney, Australia, Green Day played a surprise show at the Captain Cook Hotel.

Billie Joe took to Twitter and Instagram about an hour before the show started informing Green Day fans in the area of the show.

The band went on around 11:30pm Sydney time and wrapped up their set around 12:45am. During that time, the band played 12 songs, according to setlist.fm, spanning from Dookie through the trilogy. A few rare songs the band played were "Stuck With Me," "Chump" and "Rusty James." The full setlist can be found here.

A couple reviews from media in Australia have started to surface.
