Full list of artists by year

The Super Bowl officially has its next halftime show performer.

Kendrick Lamar, 37, has been announced as the headliner for the Super Bowl LIX halftime show, scheduled for February 9, 2025. On Sunday, the “Not Like Us” rapper announced the news on social media and in a YouTube video in which he is seen on a football field in front of an American flag.

“Rap music remains the most influential genre to date,” he said in a statement. “And I’ll be there to remind the world why. You’ve found the right thing.”

Lamar made headlines in 2024 during a feud with fellow rapper Drake, which inspired several diss tracks between the two. He previously performed during the Super Bowl halftime show in 2022 alongside Eminem, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and Mary J. Blige.

Lamar follows a well-received set from Usher, who headlined in 2024, and Rihanna, who performed in 2023 and announced her pregnancy onstage.

Five months before Lamar’s performance, we’re taking a look back at every Super Bowl halftime show in history. Read on for a stroll through musical past:
