The Dream Guest Lineup for Jay-Z’s Super Bowl LXI Halftime Show
Hov will take the Super Bowl stage on Valentine's Day 2027 and could have plenty of star power with him.
Jay-Z will headline the Super Bowl LXI Halftime Show at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on February 14, 2027. The Brooklyn rap icon expressed his gratitude for the opportunity, stating, "From Reasonable Doubt to standing on the Super Bowl Halftime stage, this has been a journey." In his 30-year career, Jay-Z has seen it all, but this will be his first time leading the Super Bowl stage.
Since 2019, he has been the league's live music entertainment strategist, overseeing halftime shows featuring artists like Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar, Usher, The Weeknd, and Bad Bunny. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell praised Jay-Z's impact on the event, expressing excitement for fans worldwide to witness his artistry and cultural influence.
Since returning to the stage throughout 2026, Jay-Z has performed at events such as Roots Picnic and a Yankees Stadium celebration of Reasonable Doubt's 30th anniversary and The Blueprint's 25th anniversary. The announcement has sparked debates about whether Jay-Z will perform solo or collaborate with other artists. If he chooses to bring in guests, some dream lineup possibilities include Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar, Usher, The Weeknd, and Bad Bunny.
