Five of music’s biggest artists are teaming up for the first-time ever to perform on the world’s biggest stage at the 2022 Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show.
For the first time in 30 years, Super Bowl is happening in Los Angeles – at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA on Sunday, Feb. 13, 2022. And the five multi-award-winning artists coming together to pump up the crowd during halftime need no further introduction: Dr. Dre, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar.
Roc Nation and the NFL announced the lineup on Thursday (September 30), dropping the poster on Instagram, which featured all five of the performers.
“43 Grammys, 19 No. 1 Billboard albums and 5 legendary artists on the biggest stage in Los Angeles for the #SBLVI #PepsiHalftime show. @DrDre @SnoopDogg @Eminem @MaryJBlige @KendrickLamar @Pepsi @NFL,” the caption reads.
The artists themselves also shared the poster on their respective social media accounts.
“I’m extremely excited to share the stage with my friends for the #PepsiHalftime Show. This will introduce the next saga of my career…” Dr. Dre wrote on Instagram. “Bigger and Better than Ever!!!”
“Dre day in February 🌴🏈? I’m there!” Eminem shared.
“Lets go! Super Bowl LVI. Inglewood.🎙 ‼️” Snoop captioned his post.
Mary J. simply wrote, “Let’s Go!”
Roc Nation founder, Jay-Z, also shared a statement about the upcoming event.
“On February 13, 2022, at the Super Bowl LVI in Inglewood, CA, in the new SoFi Stadium, Dr. Dre, a musical visionary from Compton, Snoop Dogg, an icon from Long Beach and Kendrick Lamar, a young musical pioneer in his own right, also from Compton, will take center field for a performance of a lifetime,” he said. “They will be joined by the lyrical genius, Eminem, and the timeless Queen Mary J. Blige. This is the Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show. This is history in the making.”
The Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show stage has seen some of the most iconic performances over the years.
Earlier this year, The Weeknd gave an awesome performance of his biggest hits which showcased over-the-top sets that lit up in time with the music, pyrotechnics, an army of musicians and dancers. The year before, Jennifer Lopez and Shakira delivered a dazzling spectacle on the Super Bowl Halftime stage. Other celebrated performers who took the stage in recent years are Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake, and Maroon 5.
Pepsi and the NFL have also joined together to support the launch of Regional School #1, a magnet high school in South Los Angeles that is set to open for students next fall as part of the LA Unified School District. The high school is based on the nationally recognized USC Iovine and Young Academy, a program founded by Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre, that will offer a unique educational model focused on the theme of Integrated Design, Technology, and Entrepreneurship.
