Super Bowl 60 Halftime Show: Bad Bunny to Headline in Santa Clara

Super Bowl 60 is set to take place at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, and the halftime show will feature Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny. The three-time Grammy winner becomes the first male Latin American artist to headline the Super Bowl halftime stage, marking a historic moment for the NFL’s biggest entertainment spectacle.

Bad Bunny Takes Center Stage

Known for his fusion of rap and reggaeton, Bad Bunny has become one of the most-streamed artists in the world. His performance is expected to be primarily in Spanish, showcasing his global appeal. Fans can anticipate a mix of his chart-topping hits and surprise collaborations, though official guest performers have not yet been announced.

Green Day to Open the Ceremony

Ahead of the halftime show, the NFL confirmed that Green Day will perform the opening act. Their high-energy rock set will kick off the festivities, setting the tone for an unforgettable evening of music and football.

National Anthem and Pregame Performances

Pop artist Charlie Puth will sing the national anthem, while Brandi Carlile will perform America the Beautiful. Coco Jones will add a stirring rendition of Lift Every Voice and Sing before kickoff. Together, these performances highlight the diverse musical lineup surrounding the game.

When to Watch

Super Bowl 60 kicks off at 6:30 p.m. ET. The halftime show will begin roughly 90 minutes later, lasting 12–15 minutes, with stage setup and breakdown extending the intermission to about 30 minutes.

Bad Bunny’s Career Highlights

Bad Bunny rose to fame in 2018 with the hit collaboration I Like It alongside Cardi B and J Balvin. Since then, he has released multiple chart-topping albums, including YHLQMDLG, El Último Tour Del Mundo, and Un Verano Sin Ti. His most recent album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos, dropped in January 2025. With three Grammy wins and nine nominations, he has cemented his place as a global icon.

Why Artists Perform for Free

Super Bowl halftime performers do not receive appearance fees. Instead, the NFL covers union-scale wages, while sponsors like Apple Music fund production costs. Artists often invest their own money to elevate the spectacle, viewing the performance as a massive marketing opportunity. The Weeknd famously spent $7 million on his 2021 show.

A Legacy of Iconic Shows

From Michael Jackson and Prince to Rihanna and Usher, the Super Bowl halftime show has delivered unforgettable performances for decades. Bad Bunny’s headline slot continues that tradition, promising a blend of culture, energy, and global star power.
