Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl Halftime Announcement

The “Like That” artist announced the news in a video, which featured him standing in front of an enormous American flag on a football field while he shot up a few footballs to “warm up.”

In the clip, Kendrick tells viewers, “What’s the deal everybody? My name’s Kendrick Lamar, and I’ll be performing at Super Bowl LIX. Will you be pulling up? I hope so. You know there’s only one opportunity to win a championship. No round twos.”

What Songs Will Kendrick Lamar Play at the Super Bowl?

Since he just made the announcement, Kendrick’s set list has not yet been released. But it’s safe for fans to presume that he’ll be performing some of his biggest hits and even diss tracks. “Not Like Us” and “Like That” were both released during Kendrick’s ongoing beef with fellow rapper Drake. Both instantly became huge hits, and fans are speculating that he could play both.

Among Kendrick’s other top hits include “Swimming Pools (Drank),” “Poetic Justice” and his remix of Taylor Swift‘s “Bad Blood.” It’s not clear if Taylor would join Kendrick on stage at the Super Bowl, but if she does, it wouldn’t be the first time that a collaborator has taken the stage with the main headliner. In 2022, Kendrick performed alongside Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, 50 Cent and Mary J Blige for the event’s first hip-hop showcase. The following year, Alicia Keys joined Usher at the 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show him to belt out their hit song, “My Boo,” together.
