Every Super Bowl halftime performer ever: Full list as Jay Z announces himself as the 2027 artist

Jay-Z has been confirmed as the headlining act for the Super Bowl LXI halftime show, marking his first time performing in that capacity. The announcement utilized audio from his track "Public Service Announcement," and no special guest performers have been identified yet, though Beyoncé, Rihanna, and Eminem are frequently cited as potential candidates.

The event is scheduled for February 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, following a 2019 partnership between the NFL and Roc Nation that gave the rapper significant influence over the selection process.

The 2026 season finale will follow last year's performance by Bad Bunny, who was joined by Lady Gaga for a rendition of "Die With A Smile." That appearance marked Gaga's third Super Bowl halftime involvement and her first as a guest rather than a headliner. Previous headliners in the show's six-decade history include Kendrick Lamar, Rihanna, Usher, and Beyoncé, representing a shift from earlier, less prominent acts like the Rockettes and Chubby Checker.
