Jay-Z Tapped for 2027 Super Bowl Halftime Show
The hip-hop mogul is reportedly set to headline the Super Bowl LXI halftime performance at SoFi Stadium.
Shawn Carter, widely known as Jay-Z, is reportedly slated to headline the halftime show for Super Bowl LXI, scheduled to take place on February 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. The NFL and the hip-hop icon have not yet officially confirmed the news, but reports suggest the decision has been made.
Jay-Z, a 25-time Grammy winner, has become a significant figure in Super Bowl halftime show planning. His recent concert performances have included extensive sets with numerous guest appearances. His July 12 concert at Yankee Stadium in New York, for instance, featured surprise guests such as Usher, Rihanna, Beyoncé, Pharrell Williams, Fat Joe, and Jermaine Dupri. That show spanned 45 songs and celebrated milestones like the 25th anniversary of his album "The Blueprint" and the 30th anniversary of "Reasonable Doubt."
Super Bowl LXI will be held on Valentine's Day at SoFi Stadium, the home venue for the Los Angeles Rams and Chargers. Ticket information for the game is available, with various seating sections listed for purchase.
Prior to the reported Super Bowl booking, Jay-Z had a series of concerts throughout the spring and summer of 2026. These included performances at Roots Picnic Festival in Philadelphia, Yankee Stadium in New York, Hotspur Stadium in England, and Stade de France in France.
