The anticipation for the 2025 Super Bowl is building as the event organizers introduce an impressive array of performers set to grace the stage. With the championship game taking place in the vibrant city of New Orleans, the musical performances aim to celebrate the city’s rich cultural heritage.
Celebrating New Orleans’ Musical Legacy
According to Seth Dudowsky, head of music at the NFL, the selection of pregame performers honors the diverse musical traditions of New Orleans and the surrounding region. In a recent statement, he remarked, “We’re honored to work with this year’s pregame lineup to celebrate the rich musical legacy of New Orleans and the entire state. The Super Bowl is a rare moment to unite fans around the world, and this year’s performers will bring the energy and vibrant sounds of the region to a global stage.”
Headlining Act: Kendrick Lamar
The spotlight shines on Kendrick Lamar, the Grammy-winning rapper announced as the headlining performer for the Super Bowl LIX Halftime show. His revelation came via a YouTube video posted in September, where he expressed his excitement and invited fans to join him for this monumental event.
In the video, Lamar, standing on a football field, stated, “My name’s Kendrick Lamar and I’ll be performing at Super Bowl 59.” He encouraged fans to “Wear your best dress, too, even if you watch it from home.” Lamar’s connection to the Super Bowl is notable; he previously performed at the halftime show in 2022 alongside other music legends.
National Anthem: Jon Batiste
New Orleans native Jon Batiste will perform the national anthem, a decision that solidifies the city’s influence on this year’s Super Bowl festivities. Batiste, a remarkable talent, boasts multiple Grammy awards and Oscar nominations.
His recent work includes the album “Beethoven Blues,” which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Classical charts. Batiste’s contributions to film scores, including Disney’s “Soul”, have earned him significant acclaim, including an Academy Award win.

With multiple Grammy wins, including accolades for her chart-topping single “You Say,” Daigle’s powerful voice and poignant lyrics resonate with audiences worldwide.
