There’s been a lot of rumors surrounding the upcoming Super Bowl halftime show, and we finally know who’ll have the honor of headlining it. Usher will hit the stage at the Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas this winter after being announced as the next halftime show headliner.
The NFL joined forces with Apple Music for a series of funny videos that see Usher being caught off guard after learning he’ll headline the Super Bowl. Kim Kardashian, Deion Sanders, Marshawn Lynch, and Odell Beckham Jr. were in charge of delivering the lucky news to the R&B hitmaker in these promotional videos.
Usher released an official statement confirming his headlining spot and said it’s the honor of a lifetime to finally check a Super Bowl performance off his bucket list. This news come just a few months after he told Access Hollywood’s Scott Evans that he’d like to take the Super Bowl stage.
“I’d be a fool to say no. If things line up the way we would all hope, one day that moment would happen… I think I have a catalog that obviously speaks for itself, so to be able to celebrate on that day, it’s obviously about football, but everybody really anticipates the performance,” the singer said back in April.
Usher will headline the Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada on February 11, 2024 and drop his new studio album Coming Home that same day.
