Jay-Z has been confirmed as the headliner for the Apple Music Super Bowl LXI Halftime Show. The performance will take place on February 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. The announcement was made by the NFL, Apple Music, and Roc Nation.
This will mark Jay-Z's first appearance as the main performer at the top sporting event in the United States. Since 2019, his agency Roc Nation has been responsible for organizing and producing the halftime show in partnership with the NFL. The 56-year-old artist previously closed his "Jay-Z 30" tour at SoFi Stadium last weekend.
“From Reasonable Doubt to the Super Bowl stage, this has been a journey.”
The tour began with three concerts at Yankee Stadium in New York and continued in London before ending in Inglewood, California. The announcement comes during a symbolic period for the artist, as 2026 marks 30 years since the release of his debut album Reasonable Doubt in 1996. He is also celebrating 25 years since The Blueprint, considered one of the most important albums of his career.
Jay-Z described the moment as a dream continuing to become reality, calling it a journey from Reasonable Doubt to the Super Bowl stage. His wife Beyoncé will be by his side during the performance. Previous halftime headliners include Bad Bunny in 2026, Kendrick Lamar in 2025, Usher in 2024, Rihanna in 2023, and a group led by Dr. Dre, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, Mary J. Blige, 50 Cent, and Anderson .Paak in 2022.
