Machine Gun Kelly to Headline NFL Halftime Show in Munich

Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) is set to headline the halftime show at the NFL's final international game of the 2024 season, taking place on November 10 in Munich, Germany, where the New York Giants will face the Carolina Panthers. MGK expressed excitement about performing for the energetic German fans and will feature his song 'Lonely Road,' which celebrates John Denver's classic hit 'Country Roads.' The performance will be broadcast live on RTL in Germany and highlights will also be available on NFL Network in the U.S. However, the announcement has sparked backlash from some fans who feel the matchup is lackluster and are critical of MGK's inclusion, suggesting it might detract from the experience. The NFL aims to deliver world-class entertainment that resonates with international fans while embracing local culture. This game marks a significant moment in the NFL's international outreach efforts, despite the mixed reactions.
