What Time Does The Super Bowl Halftime Show *Actually* Start? What To Know
This year’s lineup will take you way back.
The 2022 Super Bowl is just around the corner, and that means an epic halftime show is imminent. Super Bowl LVI lands on Feb. 13, and game day will be packed with celebrity performers set to take the field after the second quarter. This year’s game kicks off in Los Angeles and as a result, the NFL is bringing out some West Coast icons.
In 2021, the Super Bowl halftime show featured The Weeknd, who performed a medley of his best, career-spanning hits. This year, the big show is going to be a little more collaborative, with a number of performers joining the mix. Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar are slated to take the stage. It’s all going down at LA’s SoFi Stadium, and the performance will surely be one for the books. All five performers have more than a decade of hits under their belt, and it just so happens Snoop, Lamar and Dr. Dre are from California originally.
The NFL shared more details in an official press release:
“The Pepsi Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show marks the first time these five multi-award-winning artists will perform together on stage, exciting music fans worldwide and holding a special significance for the greater Los Angeles community, as they host the Super Bowl for the first time in nearly 30 years,” the press release stated. “Collectively, these artists have been awarded 43 Grammys and have created 22 No. 1 Billboard albums.”
