Kendrick Lamar to headline Super Bowl LIX halftime show

It will be some time before we know who will play in the 2025 Super Bowl in New Orleans, but the halftime act is locked in.

It was revealed on Sunday morning that Kendrick Lamar will be the featured performer at halftime of the Feb. 9 extravaganza on FOX. The NFL posted a video from Lamar to make the reveal.

He’ll join a storied list of Super Bowl performers that has included everyone from Alicia Keys and Jennifer Lopez to the Rolling Stones and Prince.
