Grammy Award-winning artist Kendrick Lamar will headline the halftime show at Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans on Feb. 9, he announced Sunday.
Lamar, 37, will be on the Super Bowl stage for the second time in four years. The 17-time Grammy Award winner performed as a guest artist with Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem and Mary J. Blige at Super Bowl LVI on Feb. 13, 2022.
“Rap music is still the most impactful genre to date. And I’ll be there to remind the world why,” Lamar said in a statement. “They got the right one.”
“Few artists have impacted music and culture as profoundly as Kendrick Lamar,” NFL head of music Seth Dudowsky said. “Time and time again, Kendrick has proven his unique ability to craft moments that resonate, redefine, and ultimately shake the very foundation of hip-hop.”
