Jay-Z will perform at the Apple Music Super Bowl LXI Halftime Show on Sunday, February 14, 2027, according to Billboard. The performance will mark his first time headlining the event. His company, Roc Nation, has been responsible for selecting and producing the Super Bowl Halftime Show since 2019, working in partnership with the NFL.
The show will take place at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. Jay-Z, who is 56, is the first hip-hop artist inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. He is also a four-time Emmy winner and has 25 GRAMMY Awards.
Jay-Z stated that headlining the Super Bowl Halftime Show is a continuation of a dream, encompassing "thirty years of music, work, and culture on the world's biggest stage." NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell reportedly asked Jay-Z to perform the halftime show himself when the agreement with Roc Nation was first made.
