Jay-Z to Headline Super Bowl LXI Half-Time Show

The NFL has announced that rapper Jay-Z will perform at the Super Bowl LXI half-time show on February 14, 2027, near Los Angeles. Although his company, Roc Nation, has produced the event since 2019 and he has previously selected performers, this marks his first time appearing on stage at the NFL championship game. The announcement follows Jay-Z's recent performances at the same Los Angeles stadium. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell expressed excitement for the artist's upcoming showcase, which follows a legacy of high-profile performers including Kendrick Lamar, whose 2025 set became the most-watched half-time show in history.
