Music fans, get ready for an epic start to Super Bowl LX. The NFL just announced the star-studded pregame performers for February 8, 2026, at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. Charlie Puth takes the spotlight with the national anthem. Brandi Carlile follows up by singing "America the Beautiful." Meanwhile, Coco Jones delivers "Lift Every Voice and Sing." These choices highlight top talents in pop, folk, and R&B. Jon Barker, the NFL's senior VP of global event production, shared his excitement.
He noted how Super Bowl Sunday showcases the best in music and culture. Regardless, this lineup sets a high bar before Bad Bunny's halftime show. Desiree Perez from Roc Nation praised the artists as generational icons. She emphasized their role in celebrating culture and performance. Above all, the event kicks off game day with energy and unity. Fans expect memorable moments from these voices.
Inclusive ASL Performances Shine
But inclusion takes center stage too. The NFL teams up with experts for American Sign Language interpretations. Fred Beam signs the national anthem and "Lift Every Voice and Sing." Julian Ortiz handles "America the Beautiful." On the flip side, Bad Bunny's halftime gets a groundbreaking multilingual signing. Celimar Rivera Cosme leads it in Puerto Rican Sign Language. This marks a first for the Super Bowl.
Alexis Kashar of LOVE SIGN and Howard Rosenblum of Deaf Equality collaborate on all signed parts. Nevertheless, these efforts make the event accessible to everyone. They blend music with visual expression seamlessly. In comparison, past Super Bowls built on this, but 2026 pushes boundaries further. Organizers aim to honor diversity through every detail.
Broadcast Details and Production Partners
Yet the excitement doesn't stop there. NBC, Telemundo, and Peacock broadcast Super Bowl LX live. Roc Nation programs the halftime for the seventh year. They executive produce alongside Jesse Collins. Hamish Hamilton directs the spectacle. In contrast, Apple Music sponsors it for the fourth time.
Roc Nation advises on entertainment strategy, too. After all, this partnership elevates the show's quality. Viewers worldwide tune in for these highlights. Still, the pregame and halftime promise cultural depth. Organizers focus on blending tradition with innovation. Irrespective of the game, music steals the show early.
