      Super Bowl LIX is set to be another significant media occasion, concluding the NFL’s 2024-2025 season with excitement. Fans will witness the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles compete for the Vince Lombardi trophy. Additionally, viewers can anticipate an array of major Super Bowl advertisements.

      As with previous games, Super Bowl 2025 will showcase several high-profile musical acts before the game and during the halftime show, promising an entertaining spectacle. With game day approaching, fans can refer to this guide for details on all performers appearing during the pregame and halftime festivities at Super Bowl LIX on February 9, 2025.

      **YouTube Tailgate Concert**

      Grammy-nominated artist Post Malone will perform at the YouTube Tailgate Concert outside the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. Having previously sung "America the Beautiful" at Super Bowl LVIII in 2024, Post Malone will definitely keep the audience engaged before the game starts. The tailgate event will be hosted by YouTube personalities Kristy and Desmond Scott, Chanen and Juwan Johnson, Monet McMichael, and Carter Kench. Fans can watch the YouTube Tailgate Concert live on February 9 at 4 PM EST on YouTube.

      **Other Pregame Performers**

      Jon Batiste will perform the national anthem to kick off the Super Bowl. Meanwhile, Trombone Shorty and Grammy winner Lauren Daigle will sing "America the Beautiful." Before them, Ledisi will deliver a rendition of "Lift Every Voice and Sing." The Grammy winners will be accompanied by an American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter at Super Bowl 2025, with actor Stephanie Nogueras signing for Batiste, Daigle, and Trombone Shorty, and TikTok star Otis Jones signing for Ledisi. Batiste, Ledisi, Trombone Shorty, and Daigle will participate in interviews as part of Apple’s Halftime Show Pregame Artist Interviews on February 6, 2025, at 11 AM EST. These interviews will be available for streaming on Apple Music, YouTube, X, and Facebook.

      **Halftime Show Performers**

      Rapper Kendrick Lamar will headline the halftime show for Super Bowl LIX. This marks his second Super Bowl halftime performance, having previously performed in 2022 with Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, 50 Cent, and Anderson .Paak. Lamar’s halftime concert will follow his five Grammy wins in 2025 for his track "Not Like Us." With his last performance earning three Emmys, including the Outstanding Variety Special (Live) award—a first for Super Bowl halftime shows—he might achieve even greater accolades this time.

      For his second Super Bowl halftime show, Lamar will be joined by guest performer SZA, a regular collaborator of his. The two have previously worked together on the album GNX and songs "Doves in the Wind" and "All the Stars," the latter featuring in the Black Panther soundtrack. Like Lamar, SZA’s Super Bowl performance comes shortly after she earned the Grammy Award for Best R&B Song for her hit "Saturn." ASL translator Matt Maxey will be present for the performances by Lamar and SZA.
