The US National Football League (NFL) has unveiled its lineup for the pre-game entertainment at Super Bowl LX on 8 February next year.
Ahead of Bad Bunny’s performance at the 60th Super Bowl’s half time show at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, Puth will perform the national anthem.
He will be joined on stage by Grammy Award-winning singer Brandi Carlile, who will sing America the Beautiful, and R&B singer and former Disney star Coco Jones, who will perform Lift Every Voice and Sing.
“Super Bowl Sunday is the world’s biggest entertainment stage, and we’re proud to spotlight artists who embody the very best of music and culture,” Jon Barker, NFL senior VP of global event production, said in a statement.
Jay Z’s entertainment company, Roc Nation, is programming the event. CEO Desiree Perez gushed, “Charlie, Brandi and Coco are generational talents, and we are honoured to have them on Super Bowl LX’s world stage. This moment embodies the very best of culture, live performance, and our country, perfectly kicking off game day.”
The news comes after Puth addressed rumours that he auditioned for the box office smash Wicked films.
“I never auditioned for Wicked. I would be so bad lol,” Puth wrote via X on Saturday, after a fan shared a list of actors and performers who allegedly auditioned for parts in the 2024 film and its 2025 sequel.
The list also included Jennifer Lopez, Sean Mendes, Renee Rapp, Katy Perry, Harry Styles, Amanda Seyfried, Nick Jonas, Joe Jonas, Dove Cameron, Lea Michele and Jesse J.
