- Super Bowl LX kicks off on Feb. 8, 2026.

Super Bowl LX is shaping up to be one to remember.

Bad Bunny, the Grammy-winning rapper (and occasional actor), is set to headline the halftime show on Feb. 8. In a teaser, the artist promised that "the world will dance" to his performance.

In the clip, Bad Bunny is seen walking through a small patch of grass near a crooked tree with vivid red leaves to the tune of "BAILE INoLVIDABLE" from his most recent album, *DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS*. Soon, he's dancing with a diverse group of people from all walks of life.

This will be Bad Bunny's first time headlining the Super Bowl halftime show, though he's no stranger to the stage. In 2020, he joined Jennifer Lopez and Shakira as a special guest during their Emmy-winning Super Bowl spectacle.

Pop-punk legends Green Day will kick things off with a performance at the opening ceremony. Charlie Puth will sing the national anthem, Brandi Carlile will perform "America the Beautiful," and rising R&B star Coco Jones will take on "Lift Every Voice and Sing."

Read on for the full lineup of announced performers set for the 2026 Super Bowl.

Bad Bunny, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, has been on a meteoric rise. In addition to winning three Grammy Awards for his exuberant spin on Latin trap, the multi-hyphenate has participated in numerous WWE events and appeared in films like *Bullet Train *(2022), *Happy Gilmore 2* (2025), and *Caught Stealing* (2025).

In January 2025, Bad Bunny released his sixth album, *DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS*, which became his fourth No. 1 album. The record dominated the 26th Annual Latin Grammy Awards, and received six nominations at the upcoming 68th Annual Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year.

Donald Trump blasts NFL over Bad Bunny's 2026 Super Bowl halftime show

Bad Bunny is the first Latino and Spanish-speaking artist to lead the Super Bowl halftime show as a solo act. Some critics — including President Donald Trump and allies — have criticized the choice, and a petition to replace Bad Bunny quickly surfaced online. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, however, is standing by the artist, saying that he's "confident it's going to be a great show."

“What I'm feeling goes beyond myself. It's for those who came before me and ran countless yards so I could come in and score a touchdown," Bad Bunny said in a statement shared with *.* "This is for my people, my culture, and our history. Ve y dile a tu abuela, que seremos el halftime show del Super Bowl.”

Another first: The halftime show will feature a multilingual signing program led by deaf Puerto Rican performer Celimar Rivera Cosme.

On Sunday, Jan. 18, the NFL revealed that Green Day will kick off Super Bowl LX with a pregame opening ceremony.

"We are super hyped to open Super Bowl 60 right in our backyard!" frontman Billie Joe Armstrong said. "We are honored to welcome the MVPs who've shaped the game and open the night for fans all over the world. Let's have fun! Let's get loud!"

The league said that the band's performance will "celebrate six decades of the championship's history, with the band helping usher generations of Super Bowl MVPs onto the field." Fans can expect Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tré Cool to play some of their biggest hits during the tribute.

Hailing from San Francisco, Green Day hit the mainstream with their 1994 classic* Dookie* and have since released 11 albums, including *American Idiot *(2004), *21st Century Breakdown* (2009), and their latest, *Saviors *(2024). Over the years, they've snagged five Grammys and solidified their spot as one of the best-selling, loud-and-proud musical acts of all time.

Another big name on the Super Bowl LX lineup is Charlie Puth, a four-time Grammy nominee who will sing the national anthem. He follows Jon Batiste, who sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" at the 2025 Super Bowl in Louisiana.

Born and raised in New Jersey, Puth rose to fame in 2015 with the *Furious 7 *single "See You Again," which he co-wrote, co-produced, and sang on with Wiz Khalifa. The song earned three Grammy nods and a Golden Globe nomination for Best Original Song.

Puth's career took off with his 2016 debut album *Nine Track Mind*, followed by *Voicenotes *(2018) and *Charlie *(2022). His fourth album, *Whatever's Clever*, is set to arrive on March 27, 2026.

At the Super Bowl, he'll be joined by deaf artist Fred Beam, who will perform the national anthem in American Sign Language (ASL).

Brandi Carlile

Brandi Carlile will light up the Super Bowl pregame with a rendition of "America the Beautiful." She'll be joined by deaf artist Julian Ortiz, who will sign the song in ASL.

Carlile has 11 Grammys, two Emmys, and an Oscar nomination under her belt. She's also an activist and No. 1 *New York Times *bestselling author. Her 2021 memoir, *Broken Horses*, was praised by EW as "earthy, frank, endearingly dorky, and open-hearted," with a "sneakily sharp" structure that gives readers a closer look at her life and songwriting.

In 2025, she released two albums: a solo LP called *Returning to Myself* and a collaborative record with Elton John. The latter, titled *Who Believes in Angels?, *earned a Grammy nod for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.

Grammy-winning R&B singer and actress Coco Jones released her debut studio album, *Why Not More?*, in 2025. It's up for Best R&B Album at the 2026 Grammys.

Jones got her start on the Disney Channel with the original movie *Let It Shine* (2012) and the sitcom *Good Luck Charlie* (2012–2013). More recently, she starred as Hillary Banks on Peacock's *Bel-Air *(2022–2025).

At the Super Bowl, Jones will perform "Lift Every Voice and Sing," which is widely known as the "Black national anthem."

Jones will be accompanied by ASL performer Fred Beam.
