The next Super Bowl halftime show performer has been officially announced.

Kendrick Lamar, who is 37 years old, has been confirmed as the headliner for the Super Bowl LIX halftime show, which will take place on February 9, 2025. On Sunday, the rapper known for “Not Like Us” shared this exciting news on social media and through a YouTube video featuring him standing on a football field in front of an American flag.

“Rap music is still the most significant genre today,” he stated. “And I’ll be there to remind everyone why. They’ve got the right artist for this.”

Throughout 2024, Lamar has attracted attention due to a rivalry with fellow artist Drake, resulting in several diss tracks exchanged between them. Previously, he took the stage during the Super Bowl halftime show in 2022, performing alongside Eminem, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Mary J. Blige.

Following the performance by Usher in 2024 and Rihanna in 2023, who famously announced her pregnancy while on stage, Lamar is set to take the spotlight for Super Bowl LIX.

With just five months until Lamar’s performance, let’s take a look back at every Super Bowl halftime show from history. Keep reading for a musical retrospective:
