Who is Performing at the Super Bowl Halftime Show 2027?
Jay-Z headlines the Apple Music Super Bowl LXI Halftime Show. The NFL, Apple Music and Roc Nation announced it on October 26, 2026, with a short video of Jay-Z sitting in the stands.
It is his first time performing at the Super Bowl. That is notable because his company, Roc Nation, has produced the halftime show since 2019 and recently extended that role through 2029.
Jay-Z is a 25-time Grammy winner. In 2026 he toured to mark 30 years of his debut album “Reasonable Doubt” and 25 years of “The Blueprint”, closing with two shows at SoFi Stadium on October 23 and 24.
Is Jay-Z Bringing Guest Performers?
No guests have been announced yet. Recent headliners have brought surprise guests, so the setlist and guest list usually stay secret until game night.
This page is updated as soon as the NFL, Apple Music or Roc Nation confirms any guest performers.
How Long is the Super Bowl Halftime Show?
The performance itself usually runs about 13 to 15 minutes. The full halftime break is longer, about 30 minutes, because crews need time to build and clear the stage on the field. It also pushes back when the Super Bowl ends.
That means the second half usually starts around 30 minutes after the first half ends. The game itself is expected to finish around 10:07 PM ET.
