For many people viewing the Super Bowl, the NFL championship game played on the field is not even the biggest draw.
The league’s annual title game is one of the biggest shows of pomp and circumstance in the country, and in addition to this year’s championship battle between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks, there are several performances to take in.
The Super Bowl halftime show is the marquee event among performances, widely considered “the biggest stage in the world” due to its viewership consistently exceeding 100 million annually. The headliner for Super Bowl 60’s halftime show is six-time Grammy winner Bad Bunny, who is coming off an Album of the Year award win at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards.
Bad Bunny is only one of several Super Bowl 60 performers. See which other artists are confirmed to be participating in the Big Game festivities this year:
