Jay-Z to headline and produce Super Bowl LXI Halftime Show

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Jay-Z is set to headline the Super Bowl LXI Halftime Show at SoFi Stadium on February 14, 2027. This booking is notable as his company, Roc Nation, has been advising the NFL on halftime performers since 2019. The rapper, whose net worth is estimated at $2.8 billion, will also executive produce the show, with his daughter Blue Ivy having previously performed with him. This performance marks a significant moment for Jay-Z, given his past complicated history with the NFL and his previous rejections of the halftime show, particularly in relation to Colin Kaepernick's protests.
