Jay-Z will perform the Super Bowl LXI Halftime Show on February 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. The NFL, Apple Music, and the artist announced the booking on Monday. This marks the first time the 25-time Grammy winner has headlined the event.
Roc Nation, Jay-Z’s production company, has managed the halftime production since 2019. The company recently signed a five-year contract extension that keeps it in the role through 2029. Since taking over, the shows have featured more hip-hop and rap acts. The 2026 performance in Santa Clara, California, starred Bad Bunny with guests Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin.
Los Angeles previously hosted a halftime show in 2022. That event featured Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar. It also included cameo appearances by 50 Cent and Anderson .Paak. Recent performers in other cities include Kendrick Lamar and SZA in 2025, Usher in 2024, and Rihanna in 2023.
Jay-Z is currently on a tour celebrating the 30th anniversary of his debut album, Reasonable Doubt, and the 25th anniversary of The Blueprint. The tour began with three nights at Yankee Stadium in July. He then performed two shows in London and one in Paris in September.
His final scheduled tour dates took place on October 23 and 24 at SoFi Stadium. The venue will now serve as the site for his upcoming Super Bowl performance. These recent shows in Inglewood effectively act as a rehearsal for the February event.
