Rapper Kendrick Lamar will headline the Super Bowl LIX halftime show. This concert will be Lamar’s second performance during a Super Bowl halftime show, having previously appeared in 2022 alongside rappers Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, 50 Cent, and Anderson .Paak. Lamar’s big halftime concert will come just after the hip-hop icon won five awards at the 2025 Grammys for his song, Not Like Us. Lamar may win even more awards for his next gameday performance, as his last one won three Emmys, including the award for Outstanding Variety Special (Live) for the first time in Super Bowl halftime show history.

For his second Super Bowl halftime show, Lamar will be joined by guest performer SZA, one of his frequent collaborators. Lamar and SZA previously worked together on the album GNX and the songs Doves in the Wind and All the Stars, the latter of which appeared on the soundtrack for the 2018 film Black Panther. Similar to Lamar, SZA’s Super Bowl performance will come fresh off her winning the Grammy Award for Best R&B Song with her hit song, Saturn. ASL translator Matt Maxey will be on hand for the performances from Lamar and SZA.
