White plays the Lions-Packers game, Malone headlines the Cowboys-Chiefs game, and Lil Jon performs at the Ravens-Bengals game
The NFL has announced the halftime performers for its Thanksgiving games, which include Jack White, Post Malone, and Lil Jon.
The festivities on Nov. 27 kickoff with the holiday’s traditional Detroit Lions game. The Lions will host the Green Bay Packers at Ford Field in Detroit, and hometown hero Jack White will headline the halftime festivities. Fellow Detroiter Eminem and his manager Paul Rosenberg will executive produce the halftime event.
White — who is fresh off being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with Meg White as the White Stripes — shared the news on Instagram alongside the Detroit Lions, the NFL, and others. He posted video of blue vinyl being pressed, which features a label on the record announcing his appearance. The post is captioned, “Hot off the press.”
Post Malone will hit the halftime stage when his favorite team the Dallas Cowboys take on the Kansas City Chiefs at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. In a joint Instagram post with the team, the NFL, and others, Malone shared a video that shows him wearing a Cowboys jacket and driving a semi-truck into Dallas. “Bigger is always better,” he says in the clip announcing his performance.
“I’m from Texas. I grew up a Cowboys fan and have been watching this halftime show for years,” Malone said in a statement. “It’s a real honor to be part of the Red Kettle Kickoff with The Salvation Army and the Dallas Cowboys and help bring hope to so many people.”
Lil Jon is set to perform the halftime show when the Baltimore Ravens host the Cincinnati Bengals at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore. Hamilton star Renée Elise Goldsberry will sing the national anthem at the game, the Ravens announced last week.
