Football season may have just begun, but the next Super Bowl halftime act has already been decided: Kendrick Lamar will headline the 2025 show, Roc Nation, Apple Music and the NFL announced Sunday morning.
Super Bowl LIX will take place on February 9 at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans and will air on Fox.
This will be Lamar’s second time performing at the Super Bowl. He last performed on the field in 2022 with Dr. Dre, Mary J. Blige, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent and Anderson .Paak. That was the first halftime show comprised entirely of rap and hip-hop artists, and the performance won three Emmys, including Outstanding Variety Special (Live), a first in Super Bowl halftime history.
“Rap music remains the most impactful genre to date,” Lamar said in a statement. “And I’ll be there to remind the world why. They picked the right guy.”
More to come.
