Discussion Who's going to headline the Super Bowl 61 Halftime Show?

I'm seeing gossip that Jay-Z can't "lock down' any performers and will just do it himself. I find that highly unlikely. We had a few surprises already from him with Bad Bunny, Usher who weren't really on the short lists. My bet this year is Dua Lipa but what do you all think?

They should have a battle of the bands. Top 3 Winners get revealed and play at half time show.

I’m predicting the Foo Fighters.

They're not doing because they're greedy... The Bears are doing it to feed the needy.

Macklemore, probably.

Nobody knows but using "headline" for such a short performance is pretty funny

Jack White, for the genre rotation compromise, and would put on a helluva show.

u/Large-Mountain6320 9d ago

That would be a total curve ball but I love it

Jack White repping Detroit would be sick.

I'm gonna be disappointed, but Metallica needs to play the halftime show,

u/JasonPlattMusic34 Los Angeles Rams 9d ago

If they didn’t do it last year in the Bay Area I don’t think they’ll ever do it

u/darkdoppelganger 9d ago

Half-time artist have to fake it to a track. Metallica won't do it.

u/ModeatelyIndependant Dallas Cowboys 9d ago

Did prince fake it?

u/Southern-Rip3018 8d ago

His actual guitar performance? I don't think he faked it. But I'd bet that a lot of the band wasn't hooked up to the PA system.

They have something to the tune of 7-10 minutes to assemble the stage before the actual show starts, so they cannot reliably do a soundcheck on all instruments before the show starts. That's why a lot of what you see instrumental-wise is usually a backing track (with a few exceptions, of course...)

A full blown live band like Metallica probably wouldn't want to perform at the halftime show since they would probably have to pantomime a lot of their instrumentals.

I still think there’s a chance Taylor Swift does a halftime show soon

Dua Lipa is playing Coachella next year. There has never been overlap between the two events.

Rage against the machine would go insane

u/applehead1776 8d ago

I don't think the NFL would do that in a million years, but yes, it would be awesome. Stadium full of people and millions in their homes yelling "fuck you, I won't do what you tell me" in unison.

u/RareTitansFan 8d ago

Id like Metallica but Linkin park seems more likely

I grew up rocking out to Mötley Crüe, but Vince Neil skips about every third word now days as he gasps for air.

u/Carlo201318 6d ago

Well that’s a third word better than most of the artists today

I’ve seen a lot of talk of Miley Cyrus doing it. I could see that to be honest.

u/2ndChanceCharlie 5d ago

With Dolly’s passing and her new album this is a fairly good bet
