Jay-Z to headline Super Bowl LXI halftime show in LA
Jay-Z announced as the Super Bowl LXI halftime performer for February 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
Jay-Z will headline the Super Bowl LXI halftime show on February 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. The 56-year-old rapper, born Shawn Carter, said "Thirty years of music, work and culture on the world's biggest stage.
This run continues to be a dream come true." Since 2019, his company Roc Nation has partnered with the NFL to select halftime performers, including Bad Bunny and Kendrick Lamar.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said when they first made the deal, he had one request: "that Jay-Z take the stage himself one day, whenever the moment felt right to him." The performance marks the 30th anniversary of his debut album Reasonable Doubt and the 25th anniversary of The Blueprint.
He is married to Beyoncé and has three children.
