Global superstar will take center stage at Levi’s Stadium in February 2026
The NFL, Apple Music, and Roc Nation dropped major news this week that’s sending shockwaves through the music and sports worlds: three-time GRAMMY® Award-winning artist Bad Bunny will headline the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show on February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
A Historic Moment for Latin Music
For Bad Bunny, this isn’t just another performance—it’s a cultural milestone. The Puerto Rican sensation expressed the profound significance of this opportunity in his own words:
“What I’m feeling goes beyond myself. It’s for those who came before me and ran countless yards so I could come in and score a touchdown… this is for my people, my culture, and our history. Ve y dile a tu abuela, que seremos el HALFTIME SHOW DEL SUPER BOWL.”
The announcement represents a watershed moment for Latin music on the world’s biggest stage, with Bad Bunny becoming one of the first Latin artists to solo headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show.
Industry Leaders Weigh In
Shawn “JAY-Z” Carter, whose Roc Nation serves as strategic entertainment advisor for the performance, praised Bad Bunny’s impact: “What Benito has done and continues to do for Puerto Rico is truly inspiring. We are honored to have him on the world’s biggest stage.”
Jon Barker, the NFL’s SVP of Global Event Production, highlighted why Bad Bunny is the perfect fit for this moment: “Bad Bunny represents the global energy and cultural vibrancy that define today’s music scene. As one of the most influential and streamed artists in the world, his unique ability to bridge genres, languages, and audiences makes him an exciting and natural choice.”
Oliver Schusser, Apple’s Vice President of Music, Sports and Beats, emphasized the artist’s cultural impact: “Few artists embody that intersection [of music and culture] more perfectly and authentically than Bad Bunny. His music has not only broken records but has elevated Latin music to the center of pop-culture.”
Tune In to the Special Announcement
Apple Music Radio is celebrating the news with a special Halftime Headliner broadcast featuring Zane Lowe, Ebro Darden, and surprise guests. The show aired Monday, September 29th at 9:30am ET across Apple Music Radio platforms.
What to Expect

The performance will air on NBC during Super Bowl LX, bringing Bad Bunny’s explosive stage presence and genre-defying music to an audience of millions.
A Winning Tradition
The Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show has become synonymous with excellence, racking up multiple Emmy wins in recent years. The Apple Music Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show starring Kendrick Lamar became the most-watched Super Bowl Halftime Show ever, earning four Emmy nominations and winning Outstanding Music Direction. Previous shows featuring Usher, Rihanna, and the legendary lineup of Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar have collectively earned dozens of nominations and awards.
With Bad Bunny’s proven track record of delivering unforgettable performances and his massive global fanbase, the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated musical events of 2026.

What Was the Cause of Michael Jackson’s Death?
Michael Jackson died on June 25, 2009 from acute propofol and benzodiazepine intoxication. Learn what the coroner found, why his death was ruled a homicide, and how Dr. Conrad Murray was held responsible.
What Was the Cause of Michael Jackson’s Death?
On June 25, 2009, the world lost one of its most influential entertainers when Michael Jackson died at the age of 50. The Los Angeles County Coroner determined that Jackson’s death was caused by acute propofol and benzodiazepine intoxication. The powerful anesthetic propofol—administered in a home setting—combined with sedatives created a fatal mix that stopped his breathing.
Jackson’s personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, was later found guilty of involuntary manslaughter for administering the drugs without proper monitoring or medical safeguards. The ruling underscored the dangers of using hospital-grade anesthesia outside a controlled environment.
Michael Jackson’s passing remains one of the most discussed celebrity deaths in modern history, marking a tragic end to the life of a groundbreaking artist whose music still shapes global culture.
