Bad Bunny Set to Make History at Super Bowl LX Halftime Show
The global music phenomenon Bad Bunny is poised to take centre stage at the Apple Music Super Bowl LX halftime show tonight, delivering a performance that promises to captivate a worldwide audience. The event, scheduled for February 8, 2026, at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, will see the Seattle Seahawks face off against the New England Patriots for the NFL championship. This halftime spectacle, renowned as one of pop culture's most iconic moments, is celebrated for its surprise guest appearances and hit-filled setlists.
A Historic Performance for Latin Music
Bad Bunny, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is set to become the first Spanish-language artist to headline the Super Bowl halftime show solo. This milestone follows his historic Album of the Year win at the 68th Grammy Awards just last week. The 31-year-old Puerto Rican superstar has teased his performance with a simple yet powerful promise: "The world will dance." His selection as this year's performer sparked some controversy among MAGA supporters due to his past criticism of Donald Trump's immigration policies, but the NFL is banking on his ability to unite global audiences amidst the current political divisions in the United States.
Setlist Forecast: What Songs Will Bad Bunny Perform?
Based on recent performances and song popularity, music experts predict that Bad Bunny's setlist will feature a medley of his biggest hits. The following tracks are strong contenders to make an appearance during the halftime show:
- "EoO"
- "BAILE INoLVIDABLE"
- "Callaita"
- "Tití Me Preguntó"
- "VOY A LLeVARTE PA PR"
- "PERRO NEGRO"
- "El Apagón"
- "Lo Que Le Pasó a Hawaii"
- "LA NOCHE DE ANOCHE"
- "NUEVAYoL"
- "LA MuDANZA"
- "La Santa"
- "Una Velita"
- "I Like It"
- "KLOuFRENS"
- "Si Veo a Tu Mamá"
- "DtMF"
Notably, "Baile Inolvidable" was featured in Bad Bunny's teaser clip for the halftime performance, while "EoO" recently won the Grammy Award for Best Global Music Performance, making both songs safe bets for inclusion. His latest album, the Grammy-winning Debí Tirar Más Fotos, is expected to be prominently featured throughout the medley. Some setlist choices may also hint at specific celebrity collaborations during the show.
Guest Star Rumours: Who Will Join Bad Bunny on Stage?
The Super Bowl halftime show is famous for its surprise guest appearances, and this year is no exception. Rapper Cardi B is nearly guaranteed to join Bad Bunny on stage for their 2018 hit "I Like It," especially as she is likely to be in attendance supporting her boyfriend, Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs. This collaboration also features J Balvin, who has confirmed he will be in the crowd to support Bad Bunny, though he has downplayed speculation about performing.
Other artists rumoured to make guest appearances include Rosalía, with whom Bad Bunny collaborated on the steamy duet "La Noche de Anoche," and Daddy Yankee, a frequent collaborator on reggaeton tracks. Additional names in the mix include Ozuna, Ricky Martin, and Chenco Corleone, all of whom have been mentioned as potential surprise guests. Last year's halftime show, headlined by Kendrick Lamar, set a high bar with guests like SZA, Samuel L. Jackson, and Serena Williams, adding to the anticipation for Bad Bunny's performance.
A Celebration of Latino Culture
Bad Bunny has emphasised that this performance is more than a personal achievement; it is a celebration for all Latinos and Latinas worldwide. While hosting Saturday Night Live last year, he stated that his show would be for "all Latinos and Latinas across the world, and here in the United States, all the people who have worked to open doors." With the pressure high and expectations soaring, Bad Bunny's halftime show is anticipated to be a standout event, marking a significant moment in music history and bringing together fans across the globe.
