Jay-Z and Apple Music announced on social media that the rapper will be the headlining act for the 2027 Super Bowl halftime show. The announcement was made during the Dallas Cowboys-Philadelphia Eagles Monday Night Football game on ESPN.
According to Roc Nation, the NFL, and Apple Music, the Super Bowl LXI Halftime Show will take place on Sunday, Feb. 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. The event will air on ESPN, ABC, and Disney+, and on mobile devices with NFL+.
“From Reasonable Doubt to standing on the Super Bowl Halftime stage, this has been a journey,” Jay-Z said in a statement. “Thirty years of music, work, and culture on the world's biggest stage. This run continues to be a dream come true.”
Jay-Z, a twenty-five-time Grammy Award-winner, recently performed his JAY-Z30 Concert Series at SoFi Stadium on Oct. 23-24. This tour celebrated the 30-year anniversary of his album Reasonable Doubt and the silver anniversary of The Blueprint.
Following the announcement, some fans expressed dissatisfaction on social media. According to Yahoo, one fan wrote, "About to make history as the worst halftime show ever," while another suggested the performance "must be for the people in retirement homes."
Roc Nation has produced the Super Bowl Halftime Show since partnering with the NFL in 2019. Since that partnership began, headliners have included Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, The Weeknd, Rihanna, Usher, Kendrick Lamar, and Bad Bunny.
This performance marks the second time the Super Bowl will be held at SoFi Stadium. The halftime show is a major cultural event, and the announcement follows a long-standing partnership between the NFL and Jay-Z's company, Roc Nation.
