Super Bowl Sunday isn’t just about the game anymore—it’s an all-day, stadium-sized playlist with a headline set in the middle. For Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium (Santa Clara), the lineup is built like a mini-festival: rock legends to kick things off, big-voice patriotics for the ceremony, and a halftime star ready to turn the world’s biggest broadcast into a dance floor.
Here’s the full performer rundown—plus when to tune in—so you don’t miss the moments everyone will be talking about on Monday.
The quick cheat sheet (Pacific Time)
12:50 p.m. PT – Super Bowl Tailgate (streaming)
3:00 p.m. PT – Opening ceremony performances
3:30 p.m. PT – Game broadcast start (kickoff typically shortly after)
Halftime – Halftime Show
Tailgate set: Teddy Swims (with LaRussell)
If you like your Super Bowl buildup with real “concert energy,” the official tailgate show is your move.
- Headliner: Teddy Swims — the soulful, powerhouse “Lose Control” singer bringing big vocals before the big game.
- Opener: LaRussell — Bay Area pride on the mic, repping local flavor in a global spotlight.
This is the “turn it on early” segment—music-first, crowd-heavy, and designed to feel like the party outside the party.
Opening ceremony: Green Day (yes, that Green Day)
For the 60th Super Bowl, the opening ceremony goes full stadium-rock with hometown legends:
- Green Day — the Bay Area icons, famously loud, famously tight, and perfect for a Super Bowl intro that’s meant to feel like a giant kickoff to a giant anniversary.
It’s the kind of booking that says: this is a landmark year—let’s start it with a band that knows how to light a fuse.
The “big three” pregame songs
After the opening energy, the broadcast pivots into the ceremonial core—those “everyone stands up, phones come out, history vibes” moments:
The National Anthem: Charlie Puth
- Charlie Puth handles “The Star-Spangled Banner,” which usually means a clean, melodic, vocally controlled performance (and, yes, everyone will debate the runs).
“America the Beautiful”: Brandi Carlile
- Brandi Carlile brings the kind of voice that can make a stadium feel like a cathedral—warm, emotional, and built for a song that lands best when it feels sincere.
“Lift Every Voice and Sing”: Coco Jones
- Coco Jones takes on “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” continuing the modern Super Bowl tradition of featuring the song during the pregame ceremony.
Together, it’s a nicely balanced set: pop precision, folk-rock soul, and modern R&B star power.
Halftime show headliner: Bad Bunny
The main event (musically) is the halftime stage:
- Bad Bunny headlines the Super Bowl LX Halftime Show, bringing the kind of global fandom and stadium-ready catalog that can dominate a 12–15 minute sprint.
The hype here isn’t just “big star”—it’s moment energy. Expect a performance built around movement, rhythm, and a crowd that suddenly remembers it knows Spanish lyrics it learned from the internet.
Also: keep your guest-appearance radar on. Halftime shows are basically engineered for surprise cameos and “I can’t believe they brought them out” clips.
How to watch
The core broadcast is on NBC and streaming on Peacock, with the tailgate show also airing on Peacock.
Why this lineup works
Super Bowl music has one job: hit every corner of the audience at least once.
This year’s programming does it cleanly:
- Rock to start the stadium roaring
- Big-voice ceremony to anchor the tradition
- Halftime dance explosion to own the internet for a week
Whether you’re watching for football, commercials, or just the performances, Super Bowl LX is basically giving you permission to treat the entire day like an event—not just a game.
