Lined Up for the Super Bowl Pregame Show:
The upcoming Super Bowl pregame event in Northern California will kick off with some incredible talent. Charlie Puth is scheduled to perform the national anthem, while Brandi Carlile will sing the much-loved “America the Beautiful,” and Coco Jones will deliver a rendition of “Lift Every Voice and Sing.” This star-st lineup is sure to energize the audience.
Date and Venue:
Mark your calendars for February 8, when the festivities commence at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California—all leading up to the NFL’s championship game and the much-anticipated halftime show featuring the sensational Bad Bunny.
According to Jon Barker, who heads global event production for the NFL, “These artists bring a distinct voice to the moment, helping set the tone for a day that will captivate fans around the world.” Fans can catch these performances live on NBC, Telemundo, and Peacock.
Additionally, something special will happen this year as deaf performer Fred Beam will present the national anthem and “Lift Every Voice and Sing” in American Sign Language. We’ll also have Julian Ortiz signing “America the Beautiful.” It’s truly a celebration of inclusion!
As for the Halftime Show:
This year marks a groundbreaking change, as a multilingual signing program featuring Puerto Rican Sign Language will be led by Celimar Rivera Cosme. Beautiful performances by signers, authorized in partnership with Alexis Kashar from LOVE SIGN and Howard Rosenblum of Deaf Equality, will create an engaging experience for all.
Spotlight on the Performers:
Charlie Puth is no stranger to the charts, with hit songs like “Attention” and “See You Again” under his belt. He will be preparing fans for the release of his upcoming album Whatever’s Clever!, set to drop on March 6.
Brandi Carlile’s impressive collection of 11 Grammys speaks for herself. Her latest album Returning to Myself made waves last October and she’s also recognized for her collaborative efforts with Elton John.
Coco Jones, who made a mark in the industry with her captivating R&B performance of “ICU,” takes this stage following her nomination for the upcoming Grammy ceremony for her debut album Why Not More?. Additionally, she is in the spotlight on Peacock’s series Bel-Air.
Final Thoughts:
As stated by Desiree Perez, CEO of Roc Nation, “Charlie, Brandi, and Coco are generational talents, and we are honored to have them—alongside our extraordinary deaf performers—on Super Bowl LX’s world stage. This moment embodies the very best of culture, live performance, and our country.” Looks like February 8 is going to be a day to remember!
