Here's a look at the full lineup of artists that will perform at Super Bowl LIX:

Kendrick Lamar's performance

The show will spotlight some of Kendrick Lamar's biggest hits, courtesy of Roc Nation, founded by Jay-Z, and Jesse Collins Entertainment.

Fans are eagerly awaiting the 10-15 minute performance, following a remarkable year for the rapper with chart-topping tracks such as "Euphoria" and "Not Like Us."

Pre-kickoff performances

Before the main event kicks off, an extensive programme of concerts will energise the crowd.

'Lift every voice' performance

Just before the kick-off, Ledisi will perform "Lift Every Voice and Sing," often referred to as "The Black National Anthem," a song written by James Weldon Johnson in 1900.

Jon Batiste's performance

In addition, Christian singer Lauren Daigle and New Orleans’ own Trombone Shorty will perform "America the Beautiful," while Jon Batiste will sing "The Star-Spangled Banner" immediately before the game.

The game

Of course, the main attraction will be the game itself. Scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. ET, the excitement will reach a fever pitch as Patrick Mahomes leads the Kansas City Chiefs against the Philadelphia Eagles, captained by Jalen Hurts. This rematch of the 2023 Super Bowl sees the Chiefs aiming for a historic third consecutive victory after their triumph last year.

Notable attendees

Among the high-profile guests attending the game will be Taylor Swift, who is expected to cheer on her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, while former President Donald Trump will make history as the first sitting president to attend the Super Bowl.
