The 2025 Super Bowl is set to be a major spectacular event, with hip-hop superstar Kendrick Lamar headlining the highly anticipated halftime show.
Scheduled for February 9, 2025, at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, this marks Lamar’s second appearance at the Super Bowl, but his first as the main attraction. The 37-year-old Grammy-winning artist’s selection was announced by Apple Music, the NFL, and Roc Nation, solidifying his status as one of the most influential figures in contemporary music.
Lamar’s impressive credentials include 17 Grammy Awards and a Pulitzer Prize for Music, making him a formidable choice for the halftime spectacle.
His recent success in 2024, with two songs reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, “Like That” and “Not Like Us,” further cements his position at the forefront of the rap genre. In a statement, Lamar expressed his enthusiasm for the performance, declaring, “Rap music is still the most impactful genre to date. And I’ll be there to remind the world why. They got the right one”.
