Who Is Performing At The 2026 Super Bowl? Every Artist Confirmed So Far


Super Bowl LX is here, with the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks facing off for the Vince Lombardi Trophy. But the Super Bowl has long been about more than just football. From the national anthem to the show-stopping halftime show, the game’s entertainment has transformed into a cultural moment of its own.

Ahead of kickoff at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, the pregame performances are slated to embody “the very best of culture, live performance, and our country,” Desiree Perez, CEO of Roc Nation, said in a statement.

During halftime, all eyes will be on the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show, which has hosted some of the biggest artists in history, from Michael Jackson and Prince to Beyoncé and Lady Gaga. Last year, Kendrick Lamar became the first solo hip-hop artist to headline the event, delivering a viral performance of his Grammy-winning hit “Not Like Us,” the diss track from his public rap battle with Drake.

Actor Samuel L. Jackson opened the set dressed as Uncle Sam, while SZA joined Lamar for performances of “Luther” and “All the Stars.” The show also featured a dance cameo by tennis star Serena Williams, who, like Lamar, grew up in Compton, California.

She is also an 11-time Grammy winner, two-time Emmy winner, Oscar nominee and New York Times bestselling author.

America the Beautiful is one of the finest pieces of music and lyrics … that this country has ever seen,” Carlile told the Seattle Times. “And it’s written from a perspective that I don’t know anybody that can’t get behind. I do believe in what the song is saying, and particularly if you delve into the lesser-known verses of this song, and you think about who wrote it and the situation. I’ve spent a lot of time on it and meditating on it, and I feel really proud to do it. And I feel really proud that they asked a gay woman to do it.”
