The Super Bowl always promises a huge event with the biggest artists performing. Aftermath is taking over next year, because the NFL has announced their next show.
Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar will headline the 2022 Pepsi Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA on February 13.
In a statement, Dr. Dre had this to say about the news:
“The opportunity to perform at the Super Bowl Halftime show, and to do it in my own backyard, will be one of the biggest thrills of my career. I’m grateful to JAY-Z, Roc Nation, the NFL, and Pepsi as well as Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar for joining me in what will be an unforgettable cultural moment.”
JAY-Z, whose Roc Nation company is executive producing with Jesse Collins, also had this to add to the huge football news:
“On February 13, 2022, at the Super Bowl LVI in Inglewood, CA, in the new SoFi Stadium, Dr. Dre, a musical visionary from Compton, Snoop Dogg, an icon from Long Beach and Kendrick Lamar, a young musical pioneer in his own right, also from Compton, will take center field for a performance of a lifetime. They will be joined by the lyrical genius, Eminem and the timeless Queen, Mary J. Blige. This is the Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show. This is history in the making.”
Expect plenty of surprises, as the West Coast will be rocking halftime with their W’s up.
