NFL releases the halftime show performers for Super Bowl LVI at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
Super Bowl LVI is set to take place at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on Feb. 13 and without even knowing who’s playing yet, it just got a lot more exciting. The Weeknd performed at halftime in 2021, but the halftime show in 2022 will feature not one, but five big names.
Out of the five performers, three are Los Angeles natives.

Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige and Eminem? Together? The Super Bowl is clearly the biggest game of the year, but it’s looking like it’ll also be one of the top performances of the year as well. Los Angeles is hosting the game for the first time in 30 years and SoFi Stadium is going to be absolutely rocking.
43 Grammys, 19 No. 1 Billboard albums and 5 legendary artists on the biggest stage in Los Angeles for the #SBLVI #PepsiHalftime show. 🎤 @drdre @SnoopDogg @Eminem @maryjblige @kendricklamar @pepsi @RocNation @NBCSports pic.twitter.com/THypGkS2si

That’s a pretty impressive lineup. All five performers are going to put on a memorable show because it’s the first time ever that the multi-award-winning artists will share the same stage.
The game will be cool. But can we call this the greatest Super Bowl halftime show ever? Or do we need it to happen first? https://t.co/i5lN4AmP2u

It’s not far off to say that the performance will go down in history as one of the best Super Bowl halftime shows. Hopefully it’s a good game, too. If not, there will always be the halftime performance to look back on. Thank you, NFL, Pepsi and Roc Nation.
