Bad Bunny Confirmed to Headline Super Bowl LX Halftime Show
The Puerto Rican superstar was a guest performer during Shakira and Jennifer Lopez’s performance in 2020
Bad Bunny has been announced as the headliner for the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show. The performance will take place on February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, the home of the San Francisco 49ers.
Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl:
Ocasio is the seventh artist booked to perform at the Super Bowl since Jay-Z’s Roc Nation took over the programming in 2019.
Bad Bunny’s show follows Kendrick Lamar’s set, which drew a record 133.5 million viewers.
This announcement comes after Bad Bunny, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, finished his unprecedented 30-date residency in his native Puerto Rico.
Also in 2026, his sold-out, 54-date DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOTOS World Tour will take him all over Europe, South America, Australia, and Asia.
What they said:
Ocasio: “What I’m feeling goes beyond myself. It’s for those who came before me and ran countless yards so I could come in and score a touchdown… this is for my people, my culture, and our history. Ve y dile a tu abuela que seremos el HALFTIME SHOW DEL SUPER BOWL.”
Jay-Z: “What Benito has done and continues to do for Puerto Rico is truly inspiring. We are honored to have him on the world’s biggest stage.”
Jon Barker, Senior VP of Global Event Production for the NFL: “Bad Bunny represents the global energy and cultural vibrancy that define today’s music scene. As one of the most influential and streamed artists in the world, his unique ability to bridge genres, languages, and audiences makes him an exciting and natural choice to take the Super Bowl halftime stage."
