The National Football League, in partnership with Apple Music and Roc Nation, has announced that Grammy-winning artist Jay-Z will headline the highly anticipated Super Bowl LXVII halftime performance.
The championship game of the American football season is scheduled to be held at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, within the Los Angeles metropolitan area, on February 14, 2027.
A groundbreaking announcement was made during a recent Monday Night Football broadcast, marking a significant milestone in the entertainment industry. Since 2019, Roc Nation, the entertainment company founded by the renowned rapper, has collaborated with the NFL on a strategic partnership to oversee the artistic direction and musical curation of the Super Bowl halftime shows. Following years of behind-the-scenes work as the creative architect and executive producer for numerous high-profile performances, the influential musician will now take on a starring role in the Super Bowl halftime show.
The artist reflected on three decades of artistic achievement, citing their extensive experience on the global stage in a formal statement following the announcement.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell stated that from the outset of the partnership between the league and Roc Nation, there was a shared intention for Jay-Z, the artist behind hits like "Empire State of Mind" and "99 Problems," to perform at the designated time.
Jay-Z, a renowned artist with a 25 Grammy Award-winning career, has solidified his place in music history with an induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. His extensive discography offers a three-decade retrospective of iconic hits that have significantly influenced global hip-hop culture.
The identities of the artists invited to join the rapper on stage remain undisclosed, however, the executive production for the event will be handled by Roc Nation for the second time.
