Seventeen-time Grammy Award-winner Kendrick Lamar will headline the Super Bowl LIX halftime show. The Los Angeles native is making his second Super Bowl halftime show appearance after performing alongside Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Mary J. Blige and Eminem at SoFi Stadium in 2022.
Lamar won’t be alone on stage. SZA also will be performing and it’s possible additional special guests will take part in the show.
“Rap music is still the most impactful genre to date,” Lamar said in a statement upon being announced as the headline performer for the halftime show. “And I’ll be there to remind the world why. They got the right one.”
It is the sixth Super Bowl halftime show produced in part by Jay-Z’s Roc Nation.
