The NFL announced on Sunday night (September 28) that Bad Bunny will headline the 2026 Super Bowl LX halftime show, which is set to take place at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California on February 8, 2026. This is a landmark moment for the Puerto Rican superstar (real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio) amid a monumental year marked by the release of his Billboard No. 1 album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos, and a historic 31-show residency at San Juan’s El Choli arena. “What I’m feeling goes beyond myself,” Bad Bunny said in a statement. “It’s for those who came before me and ran countless yards so I could come in and score a touchdown… this is for my people, my culture, and our history.” Despite an extensive international tour planned for late 2025 and 2026, Bad Bunny has notably avoided U.S. tour dates due to immigration enforcement concerns, making his Super Bowl appearance especially significant. In addition to music, he has appeared in two films this year – Happy Gilmore 2 and Caught Stealing – and is set to host Saturday Night Live’s Season 51 premiere on October 4. (Rolling Stone)
