"We all grow up watching the world's biggest acts playing the Super Bowl and one can only dream of being in that position. I'm humbled, honored and ecstatic to be the center of that infamous stage this year," The Weeknd said.
"The Weeknd has introduced a sound all his own. His soulful uniqueness has defined a new generation of greatness in music and artistry," said Shawn "JAY-Z" Carter. "This is an extraordinary moment in time and the Pepsi Super Bowl LV Halftime Show is going to be an extraordinary experience with an extraordinary performer."
"We are thrilled to have The Weeknd join us in Tampa Bay on the Pepsi Halftime Stage," said Brian Rolapp, NFL Chief Media and Business Officer. "Halftime Show performances have a history of excellence and creativity and we look forward to seeing what he will bring to Super Bowl LV."
Super Bowl LV will once again feature the Kansas City Chiefs, but this time they'll be up against a familiar face in an unfamiliar place with Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. To celebrate the matchup after two quarters in the Super Bowl halftime show, The Weeknd will be performing. Super Bowl halftime show artists are exposed to an audience that is exponentially bigger than any they've ever encountered. The duo of Jennifer Lopez and Shakira had about 103 million viewers last year in Miami.
So, what were the shows like before they were must-see television? Do you remember that killer halftime show featuring the Rockettes, Chubby Checker and the 88 grand pianos in 1988? Do you remember the captivating "Be Bop Bamboozled" at the Orange Bowl in 1989? No, no you do not. Ditto Carol Channing (twice) or any one of those four contrived Up With People performances in the late '70s and early '80s.
Super Bowl LV is almost here, and you can watch it for free on the CBS Sports App.
The Super Bowl halftime show, before Michael Jackson, was an endless stream of college marching bands and flag-spinning tributes, from salutes to Hollywood (twice), to Motown, to the Big Band Era, to the Caribbean, to Duke Ellington. We also got the New Kids on the Block (1991) not singing any of their biggest hits and Gloria Estefan (1992) providing the soundtrack for Olympic figure skaters Dorothy Hamill and Brian Boitano of "What would Brian Boitano do?" fame, because nothing says a Minnesota Super Bowl like the lead singer of the Miami Sound Machine.
The Weeknd has three number one selling albums in the United States, including his latest effort After Hours which featured the hit song “Blinding Lights.” Other top charting songs by The Weeknd on the Billboard Hot 100 include “Love Me Harder” featuring Ariana Grande, “Earned It,” “Can’t Feel My Face,” “I Feel It Coming” featuring Daft Punk, “Pray For Me” featuring Kendrick Lamar and “Smile” featuring Juice WRLD.
Last year, we watched Jennifer Lopez and Shakira headline the 2020 Super Bowl halftime show in Miami featuring special guests Bad Bunny and J Balvin. See below for a list of Super Bowl performers from the last decade as well as additional information on how to watch the big game.
Super Bowl 55 will take place on Sunday, February 7, 2021 between the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. In 2017, the NFL announced that the game was officially awarded to Tampa after the league moved the Super Bowl set for Los Angeles from 2021 to 2022.
What time will the Super Bowl halftime show by The Weeknd start?
Super Bowl 2021 will start at 6:30 p.m. ET with kickoff, and The Weeknd will take the stage at halftime, which will begin at approximately 8:30 p.m. ET.
