It’s official: Bad Bunny will headline the Super Bowl LX halftime show on Feb. 8. The Puerto Rican musician joins the ranks of superstars such as Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, and Usher to perform during the most-watched television event in the U.S. It was also recently announced Green Day, an American rock band that formed in the late 1980s and rose to fame throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, will also perform at this year’s Super Bowl.

Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is best known for his 2018 hit “I Like It” with Cardi B and J Balvin, “Dakiti,” a 2020 song with more than 2 billion Spotify streams, and “Tití Me Preguntó,” a top five most-streamed track on Spotify in 2022.
