Jay-Z lands Super Bowl LXI halftime show in Los Angeles
What's next: The Feb. 14, 2027 performance at SoFi Stadium will mark his first time headlining the NFL's biggest stage.
Jay-Z will headline the Apple Music Super Bowl LXI Halftime Show on Feb. 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, giving the rapper his first performance at the NFL championship game. Shawn Carter's company, Roc Nation, has produced the halftime show since 2019 and has helped pick recent performers, but he had not taken the stage himself before now. The booking comes after two recent shows at SoFi Stadium as part of a tour marking the 30th anniversary of his 1996 debut album, "Reasonable Doubt." Jay-Z has won 25 Grammy Awards and became the first rapper inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Kendrick Lamar's 2025 set became the most-watched Super Bowl halftime show, underscoring the event's huge audience.
