With Tremendous Bowl LIX behind us, it’s time to begin waiting for Tremendous Bowl LX.
Sure, the contributors in that sport is perhaps predetermined (should you consider within the Tremendous Bowl Brand Conspiracy, during which case James Dator has you lined right here) however what in regards to the halftime present?
Who’s going to observe in Kendrick Lamar’s footsteps subsequent 12 months?
We have now some concepts.
Unhealthy Bunny
Unhealthy Bunny is the most well-liked artist within the WORLD, and has a bevy of bangers to undergo in a 12-minute halftime present. I do know that there’s a little bit of ambivalence with Unhealthy Bunny contemplating all his songs are in Spanish, however we’ve seen Latin artists do nice halftime exhibits, and Unhealthy Bunny has sufficient music to actually do one by himself.
Future
Listening to “March Insanity” in a stadium dwell would heal me. “Drink N Dance” in a dwell stadium setting would do numbers on my mind.
blink-182
blink-182 virtually appears extra standard now than they did once I was in seventh grade 25 years in the past. Mark, Tom, and Travis have been promoting out stadiums around the globe since reuniting, they usually have the mix of mass enchantment and smash hits essential to headline the Tremendous Bowl. The primary time anybody heard “Feeling This,” lead single off their 2003 masterwork self-titled album, was when it debuted on the Madden 2004 soundtrack (then known as “Motion”). The boys’ hometown of San Diego now not has an NFL staff, however they nonetheless rely as a California band for a California Tremendous Bowl. I believe this might work. Please let Turnstile open up once more.
Morgan Wallen that includes Jelly Roll with particular visitor Child Rock
Admit it.
In case you took a stroll by means of sure corners of the web after Kendrick’s halftime present, you understand the place issues are in all probability headed.
This isn’t to say that Wallen doesn’t have some catchy songs, as he does. As does Jelly Roll. We’ll reserve judgment on Child Rock’s catalog for the second …
The one query will likely be if Peyton Manning recreates this as a part of Wallen’s walkout:
A tribute to the San Francisco music scene
When the NFL held Tremendous Bowl in Los Angeles a number of seasons in the past, the halftime present was a celebration of hip hop and rap, that includes Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar. Scenes from Los Angeles featured prominently within the present, which grew to become the primary Tremendous Bowl halftime present to win the Primetime Emmy Award for Excellent Selection Particular (Reside).
With Tremendous Bowl LX slated to happen at Levi’s Stadium exterior San Francisco, we might see a tribute to San Francisco’s music historical past. That might characteristic teams like Jefferson Airplane, Journey, Steve Miller Band, and The Grateful Useless within the early days, bringing the present by means of the years with bands like Metallica, Third Eye Blind, Counting Crows, and extra not too long ago artists like E-40.
Chris Stapleton
The NFL and Chris Stapleton have an present relationship. The bluegrass-turned-country star collaborated with Snoop Dogg on the brand new Monday Night time Soccer theme a number of seasons in the past, and sang the Nationwide Anthem previous to Tremendous Bowl LVII which you’ll see right here:
Look Coach Sirianni, I get it …
A halftime present looks as if a logical subsequent step.
Luke Bryan
Bryan is likely one of the most profitable nation singers of all-time, however that’s not why he’s on the checklist. Bryan’s profile has risen significantly within the final six years as a decide on American Idol. He has a prolific catalog of stadium jams and would enchantment to a unique group of followers than the 2025 Tremendous Bowl halftime present. There hasn’t been a rustic music headliner since 2003 (Shania Twain).
Dua Lipa
Solely one of many final 4 Tremendous Bowl halftime exhibits featured pop music with Kendrick Lamar (rap), Usher (R&B), and Dr. Dre’s rap collaboration and it’s a must to return to 2020 to get a pure pop halftime present. It’s time to return to vivid pop jams, and Dua Lipa has the physique of labor and imaginative and prescient to get the job executed. She has an enormous assortment of enjoyable dance bangers and would undoubtedly convey out a number of particular company to her halftime celebration.
Miley Cyrus
Cyrus might put collectively one heckuva star-studded halftime present with all of her collaborators by means of the years and has an enormous catalog of pop hits to select from. She carried out on the tailgate celebration earlier than the 2021 Tremendous Bowl in Tampa. Cyrus is among the many odds-on favorites.
Foo Fighters
It’s truly ridiculous that we haven’t seen the Foo Fighters carry out a Tremendous Bowl halftime present as they examine all of the bins for that the NFL appears for in a band: Broad enchantment, loads of bangers, assured to be inoffensive. Couple this with the truth that they’re nonetheless promoting out stadiums worldwide, and this could be a pleasant ode to Taylor Hawkins and all of it is smart right here.
We haven’t had a real rock band play the halftime present since 2010 (sure, 2010), when The Who carried out. We’re overdue. Dave Grohl and Co. make a whole lot of sense.
Oasis
In the interim Liam and Noel Gallagher have determined they like cash greater than punching one another, and 2025 marks the reunion tour for Oasis. This can in all probability be the one time in historical past the NFL might guide this because the halftime present earlier than the brothers begin preventing once more and the band disappears for one more 20+ years.
It additionally panders to England and NFL enlargement. Makes an excessive amount of sense.
Drake
Give him an opportunity to reply, perhaps?
Though after what we simply noticed, he would possibly need to lay low for a 12 months or ten.
Publish Malone
The best trick the NFL has ever pulled is convincing the nation that they’re no matter that particular client needs them to be. Generally they care about issues and other people. Generally they’re a capitalistic beacon. Generally they’re simply enjoyable. Who else does that sound like?
That’s proper, Publish Malone has executed a little bit little bit of all the things and may genre-bend to suit virtually each set of ears (apart from indignant uncles, they’re unreachable). It additionally opens the door to visitor appearances, one thing the lazy have derided Kendrick Lamar for. Publish Malone’s music is usually good, usually enjoyable, and he’s usually well-known between his music and flurry of commercials. He’s principally the Tremendous Bowl in human type.
