Super Bowl LX is almost here. The storied game — this year on Feb. 8 — always features so much more than just football. From coveted commercial spots to performances — including the famous halftime show — there’s a lot to take in over the weekend of the Big Game.
Bad Bunny marks his second time appearing on the field, but this time as the headliner for Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show. (He appeared as a guest during Shakira and Jennifer Lopez’s set in 2020.) And a teaser trailer for his upcoming stint promises that “the world will dance.”
Charlie Puth, Brandi Carlile and Coco Jones are among the performers for the pre-game show, but there’s many more musicians who will make their mark on the festivities, too.
In 2026, the league is also celebrating the contest’s 60th year, with a special opening ceremony to commemorate the anniversary. Green Day – who hails from the Bay Area where the game will take place — will perform.
Then, of course, there are the commercials. So far, high-profile ads starring Sabrina Carpenter and EJAE (the voice of HUNTR/X’s Rumi in KPop Demon Hunters) have been announced. Expect more to come in the following days.
And we can’t forget about the parties, where stars such as Post Malone, The Chainsmokers, Ludacris, Loud Luxury and others are set to appear.
