Bad Bunny to Headline Super Bowl LX Halftime Show

News summary

The NFL announced Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny (Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio) will headline the Super Bowl LX Halftime Show at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara on Feb. 8, 2026. The halftime performance will be produced by Apple Music with Roc Nation, and celebrities including Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, Bruno Mars, Diplo and Jay‑Z publicly praised the selection. Bad Bunny framed the gig as a tribute to his people, culture and history, and outlets noted it as a milestone for Latin representation while fan reaction has been mixed. Some critics objected that much of his catalog is in Spanish or preferred other pop acts, and others flagged his decision to limit U.S. tour dates amid concerns about ICE enforcement. The announcement also drew right‑wing backlash over his anti‑ICE activism and his 2024 endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris, while supporters including California Gov. Gavin Newsom and NFL partners defended the pick. The NFL said additional production and guest details will be released as the performance approaches, and media speculation suggests high‑profile collaborators could appear.
