Inside the 2026 Super Bowl Parties: J Balvin, Diplo, Green Day & More

The Bay Area filled up with celebrities from every industry for the 2026 Super Bowl, set to take place at Levi’s Stadium on Sunday (Feb. 8) — and music stars were not the exception. 

As spectators gear up for the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks game that includes a historic headlining Super Bowl halftime show by Bad Bunny, many parties took place across San Francisco leading up to the big event. 

Billboard was present at many invite-only events, including the FanDuel Party Powered by Spotify that featured two rocking performances by Counting Crows and Green Day. The latter — formed by Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool — is set to kick off this year’s Super Bowl opening ceremony with “their most iconic rock anthems,” the NFL previously announced. genr

Meanwhile, Apple Music, which is presenting the halftime show this year, kicked off the weekend with a celebration at Apple Union Square that included special guests such as J Balvin, Becky G, Diplo, Travis Scott and Luis Fonsi, as well as a set by Bad Bunny’s official touring deejay, DJ Orma.

“I just want people to have fun,” Bad Bunny said during a press conference ahead of his big show on Sunday. “It’s going to be a huge party, what people can always expect from me,” he noted. “Of course, a lot of my culture. I don’t want to give any spoilers, but it’s going to be fun! I know I said people have four months to learn Spanish, but no, just come ready to dance.”
