NFL Announces Star-Studded Super Bowl LX Performers
Charlie Puth, Brandi Carlile, and Coco Jones are set to deliver performances of the national anthem, "America the Beautiful," and "Lift Every Voice and Sing" prior to Super Bowl LX, scheduled for February 8, 2026.
The event will unfold at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, and will be broadcast live on NBC, Telemundo, and Peacock. In addition, Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny will headline the highly anticipated Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show.
Puth, a multi-platinum artist known for hits like "Attention" and "See You Again," will perform the national anthem. The 33-year-old has accumulated over 35 billion streams and is gearing up for the release of his fourth studio album, Whatever’s Clever!, slated for March 6, 2026.
Carlile, an eleven-time Grammy winner, will perform "America the Beautiful." The acclaimed singer-songwriter is also an Oscar nominee and activist, with her latest album, Returning to Myself, following a Grammy-nominated collaboration with Elton John.
Coco Jones, a rising star in R&B, will round out the pre-game festivities with "Lift Every Voice and Sing." Jones, 27, recently garnered a Grammy for Best R&B Performance for her hit "ICU" and has received eight nominations to date, including one for her debut album, Why Not More? She is also known for her role as Hilary Banks in Peacock’s Bel-Air.
"Super Bowl Sunday is the world’s biggest entertainment stage, and we’re proud to spotlight artists who embody the very best of music and culture," said Jon Barker, NFL Senior Vice President of Global Event Production. "These artists bring a distinct voice to the moment, helping set the tone for a day that will captivate fans around the world."
Desiree Perez, CEO of Roc Nation, added, "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 year’s entertainment will also feature American Sign Language performances from notable Deaf artists. Fred Beam will sign both "The Star-Spangled Banner" and "Lift Every Voice and Sing," while Julian Ortiz will interpret "America the Beautiful."
A groundbreaking multilingual signing program will be incorporated into the Apple Music Halftime Show, led by Deaf Puerto Rican performer Celimar Rivera Cosme, marking a historic first.

Super Bowl LX marks a pivotal event, combining sports, music, and cultural representation. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell emphasized the significance of their entertainment choices. He strongly defended Bad Bunny’s selection as the Halftime Show headliner despite criticisms relating to his Spanish-language performance, stating, "I’m not sure we’ve ever selected an artist where we didn’t have some blowback or criticism."
Goodell pointed out that Bad Bunny is among the leading entertainers globally, highlighting the NFL’s strategy to appeal to younger, diverse audiences.
As Bad Bunny prepares for this prominent role, he expressed his gratitude and cultural pride, stating, "What I’m feeling goes beyond myself…this is for my people, my culture, and our history. Ve y dile a tu abuela, que seremos el HALFTIME SHOW DEL SUPER BOWL."
The growing excitement around the Super Bowl LX lineup reflects not only NFL’s dedication to showcasing diverse musical talent but also a commitment to fostering inclusive representations on such a grand stage.
