Get ready for Super Bunny Bowl 2026!
Bad Bunny announced on Instagram Sunday, headlines for the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show, which will be held on February 8, 2026 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
Reggaeton Superstar (31) shared the exciting news in a video set to his hit “Callaita” sitting on top of the goal post in the soccer end zone. He wrote in a social media post, “Super Bowl LX. Bay Area. February 2026. #AppleMusichalftime.”
“It’s for me to come in and get a touchdown for those who have come before me and run countless yards…this is for my people, my culture and our history,” Bud Bunny said in a press release obtained on Page 6 following the announcement.
He added in Spanish: “Vai y daile a buela, Que Ceremos el halftime show del Super Bowl.”
Bad Bunny is refreshing to round out his sold-out settlement in Puerto Rico. Recently, each Rolling Stone has made history as the most viewed live stream of Amazon music to date.
The Grammy Award winner is neither a stranger nor a Super Bowl stage. He was a special guest when Shakira and Jennifer Lopez co-headlined the 2020 halftime show at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.
He has chart-topping tracks “I Like It” and “Chantaje” and “Callaita” and Shakira, 48. JBalvin also appeared with guests during the hot performance.
Jay Z has played a key role in selecting Super Bowl performers via company Roc Nation, but he spoke about Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio.
John Barker, SVP of the NFL’s Global Event Production, further praised Latin music artists for “the global energy and cultural vitality that defines today’s music scene.”
“As one of the world’s most influential artists, his unique ability to bridge genres, languages and audiences makes him an exciting and natural choice to win the Super Bowl halftime stage,” added Barker.
“I know that his dynamic performances, creative vision and deep connections with his fans provide an unforgettable experience that you’d expect from this iconic cultural moment.”
The NFL and Apple Music were slowly bullied on Sunday afternoons via Instagram. Football, Apple and Shushing Face Emoji “tuned at halftime on Sunday night soccer for a big announcement.”
Until the announcement, fans speculated that Taylor Swift would appear on the Super Bowl LX stage. In particular, her fiance is Travis Kels after the singer bought back her master in May.
The tight end team, the Kansas City Chiefs, have been in the championship game for the past three years in a row, with many Swifts hoping for the end of the current NFL season storybook.
However, the pop superstar has been following the Daily Mail and maintains a low profile in the Chiefs Games recently, amid the fact that she has serious threats in her life and therefore has security concerns.
Other names for the running were Miley Cyrus and Adele, the source that was only confirmed in Page 6 was the “lecture” at the Halftime Show.
The Grammy Award-winning fiancee is Rich Paul, one of the sport’s biggest agents, and Adele had previously participated in the Super Bowl as a fan.
Fans also speculated that Metallica could be considered given the roots of the rock band in San Francisco.
Drummer Lars Ulrich recently told Howard Stern: “I want to do that.”
Recent performers include Kendrick Lamar (2025), Ausher (2024), Rihanna (2023) and Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Lamar (2022) and Weeknd (2021).
Other artists and bands who have been honored include Aerosmith, Katy Perry, Red Hot Chili Pepper, Lady Gaga, Prince, Madonna, Justin Timberlake, Janet Jackson, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, and the Rolling Stones.
The Super Bowl LX, scheduled to kick off in February next year, will be hosted by the San Francisco Bay Area.
The event will be the third Mark in which the Bay Area has played host to the NFL Championship Game and the second in Levi’s stadium.
The venue, home to the San Francisco 49ers, hosted the Super 50 in 2016 (the Denver Broncos defeated the Carolina Panthers 24-10).
The halftime show of that year was hosted by ColdPlay and featured special guests Beyoncé and Bruno Mars.
