The National Football League has finalised its musical roster for one of the world's most-watched sporting events, announcing the pregame performers for Super Bowl LX.
Star-Studded Pregame Lineup Revealed
Set for February 8 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, the pregame ceremony will feature a trio of notable American artists. Charlie Puth, the acclaimed singer-songwriter, has been selected to perform the US national anthem. He will be joined by Brandi Carlile, who will render 'America the Beautiful,' and actress-singer Coco Jones, tasked with performing 'Lift Every Voice and Sing.'
Jon Barker, the NFL's senior vice president of global event production, emphasised the significance of these choices in an official statement. He remarked that these artists bring a 'distinct voice to the moment, helping set the tone for a day that will captivate fans around the world.'
A Contrast to the Halftime Headliner
The announcement of Puth, Carlile, and Jones has been met with a notably calmer reception compared to the earlier booking of global superstar Bad Bunny for the coveted Super Bowl halftime show. The Spanish-language performer has previously been critical of former President Donald Trump and his controversial immigration policies, which had generated some public debate.
Meanwhile, Charlie Puth brings his prestigious musical pedigree to the event. A graduate of Boston's renowned Berklee College of Music, Puth is a Golden Globe Award winner and has received several Grammy nominations, solidifying his status in the music industry.
With the pregame acts now confirmed, anticipation continues to build for what promises to be a spectacular Super Bowl Sunday, headlined by Bad Bunny's halftime performance.
