If you missed it, Kendrick Lamar will be performing as the headliner at the halftime show of the 2025 Super Bowl. Joining a long list of past outstanding performers such as Usher, Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, and many others, the author of the hit «Not Like Us» has secured a highly coveted spot at the upcoming event. Kendrick and the NFL announced the news on September 8, 2024, five months before the Super Bowl.
«Rap music continues to be the most influential genre today», - Kendrick said in a statement. «And I’ll be there to remind the world why. They chose the right one».
Below, Hollywood Life has gathered all the details we know so far about Kendrick’s upcoming halftime performance at the Super Bowl.
The artist of «Like That» announced the news in a video where he stands in front of a huge American flag on a football field and throws a few footballs to «warm up».
In the video, Kendrick tells the viewers: «What's up, everybody? My name is Kendrick Lamar, and I’ll be performing at Super Bowl LIX. Will you be there? I hope so. You know there’s only one chance to win the championship. No second tries».
The game and halftime show will take place on Sunday, February 9, 2025.
The 2025 Super Bowl will be held at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
Since he just announced the news, Kendrick’s playlist has not been released yet. But fans can expect him to perform some of his most popular hits and even diss tracks. «Not Like Us» and «Like That» were released during Kendrick’s ongoing conflict with fellow rapper Drake. Both instantly became huge hits, and fans speculate that he may perform both.
Among Kendrick’s other popular hits are «Swimming Pools (Drank)», - «Poetic Justice», - and his remix of Taylor Swift’s song «Bad Blood». It is unclear if Taylor will join Kendrick on stage at the Super Bowl, but if she does, it wouldn’t be the first time a featured artist has taken the stage with the headliner. In 2022, Kendrick performed on stage with Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, 50 Cent, and Mary J. Blige at the event’s first hip-hop show. The following year, Alicia Keys joined Usher at the halftime show of the 2023 Super Bowl to perform their hit «My Boo» together
