As we step into the new year, one event stands out as a true cultural phenomenon—the Super Bowl. More than just a football championship, it’s a global spectacle, blending top-tier sports with star-studded entertainment.
The 59th edition of the Super Bowl is set to take place in 2025, promising an electrifying matchup and a halftime show featuring some of the biggest names in music.
When and Where is Super Bowl 2025?
Mark your calendars—Super Bowl LIX is happening on Sunday, February 9, 2025, at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Who’s Performing at the 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show?
This year’s halftime show is shaping up to be legendary. Kendrick Lamar will take center stage, and he won’t be alone—SZA is set to join him for a special performance.
Lamar, who previously performed at the 2022 Super Bowl alongside rap icons Eminem, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Mary J. Blige, is expected to deliver another unforgettable show.
The creative vision for the performance will be led by pgLang, the company founded by Kendrick Lamar and Dave Free, while Jay-Z’s Roc Nation returns as executive producer for the sixth consecutive year.
“Rap is still the most powerful genre in music. I’m here to prove why,” Lamar said ahead of his performance.
Kendrick Lamar’s Grammy Dominance
Lamar heads into the Super Bowl fresh off a huge night at the 2025 Grammy Awards. His hit song Not Like Us took home five major awards, including:
- Record of the Year
- Song of the Year
- Best Rap Performance
- Best Rap Song
- Best Music Video
The track, widely seen as a diss track aimed at Drake, has fueled one of the biggest feuds in hip-hop. Their rivalry has played out publicly, with both artists releasing response tracks.
National Anthem & Other Performances
Super Bowl 2025 will also feature performances of two American classics:
- Jon Batiste will sing the U.S. National Anthem.
- Trombone Shorty and Lauren Daigle will perform America the Beautiful.
Which Teams Are Playing in the 2025 Super Bowl?
The Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs will go head-to-head in Super Bowl LIX.
- The Eagles secured their spot after a dominant 55-23 win over the Washington Chiefs in the NFC Championship Game.
- The Chiefs earned their place with a 32-29 victory over the Buffalo Bills.
If Kansas City wins, they’ll make history as the first team to win three consecutive Super Bowls.
Celebrities Expected at Super Bowl 2025
As always, the Super Bowl will attract some of the biggest names in entertainment, including:
- Taylor Swift, rumored to be there supporting her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. Speculation is swirling that Kelce might even propose at the event.
- Bradley Cooper, a devoted Eagles fan.
- President Donald Trump, whose attendance has led to heightened security measures.
Security Measures for Super Bowl 2025
With President Trump attending, the Secret Service has confirmed enhanced security protocols to ensure the safety of everyone at the event.
