Jay-Z to Headline Super Bowl LXI Halftime Show

Jay-Z headlined anniversary concerts at SoFi Stadium marking 30 years since *Reasonable Doubt* and 25 years since *The Blueprint*, with guests including Blue Ivy Carter, Scarface, DJ Khaled, John Legend, Too $hort, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre. The shows included a tribute to Nipsey Hussle, and Jay-Z addressed ticket-sale rumors and AI-driven misinformation. What had been speculation after the concerts is now confirmed: Jay-Z will headline the Apple Music Super Bowl LXI halftime show on Feb. 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California; no co-headliners have been announced. The announcement came during Monday Night Football, and Jay-Z described the booking as a milestone in his 30-year career. Roc Nation has partnered with the NFL since 2019 to help produce the halftime show and advise on performer selection, prompting questions about a potential conflict of interest; Commissioner Roger Goodell said he had long hoped Jay-Z would perform when the timing was right.
