Jay-Z to Headline 2027 Super Bowl Halftime Show

Jay-Z's Roc Nation is set to headline the 2027 Super Bowl halftime show, according to the NFL. The rapper, famous for songs like “99 Problems,” “Big Pimpin,” and “Empire State of Mind,” will perform at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, on Sunday, February 14, 2027, for Super Bowl LXI. The NFL disclosed the announcement to the New York Times on Monday.

Jay-Z expressed his excitement about the honor in a statement, calling it a "dream come true." The NFL's Commissioner Roger Goodell had always hoped Jay-Z would one day perform at the halftime show. Jay-Z's company, Roc Nation, has been producing the Super Bowl halftime show since 2019, with performances featuring artists like Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, The Weeknd, Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar, and recently, Bad Bunny.

Jay-Z will be the first artist to headline the 2027 halftime show, a role previously held by his wife, Beyoncé.
