Jay-Z Confirmed for 2027 Super Bowl Halftime at SoFi Stadium

Jay-Z will perform at the 2027 Super Bowl halftime show.

The NFL, Apple Music, and Roc Nation made the announcement on Monday. The performance is scheduled for Feb. 14 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. The release featured a video of the artist sitting in the stadium with goats and the text "GOAT's out of the bag."

Roc Nation has collaborated with the NFL since 2019. The partnership involved advising on and producing the league's entertainment presentations. Jay-Z previously stated that if the goal was for him to perform, the conversation was over. He has now agreed to take the stage after seven years. Other recent headliners for the halftime slot include Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar, and The Weeknd.

Jay-Z, born Shawn Carter, has won 25 Grammy Awards and received 89 nominations. That total places him second in history behind his wife, Beyonce. His catalog includes albums such as "Reasonable Doubt," "The Blueprint," and "The Black Album." Songs like "Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)" and "Empire State of Mind" are part of his discography. His 1996 debut, "Reasonable Doubt," entered the Grammy Hall of Fame last year.

The artist co-founded Roc-A-Fella Records and established Roc Nation in 2008. The company manages artists and athletes across entertainment and sports. He was the first rapper inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2017. He joined the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2021.

The announcement follows a recent concert tour that ended in Southern California. The tour began with three shows at Yankee Stadium in New York and continued in London. The final stops occurred at the same venue where he will perform in February. In the hours after a recent performance, his songs saw gains across streaming charts and playlists. The next morning, he held the top six spots on Spotify's Top 50 U.S. chart. Another of his tracks ranked at No. 8.
