Kendrick Lamar to Headline Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show with SZA as Guest Performer

The performance comes during heightened attention on Lamar's feud with Drake and the success of his controversial hit 'Not Like Us.'

Kendrick Lamar will headline the Super Bowl LIX halftime show on February 9, 2025, at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, marking his first solo halftime performance.
SZA, a frequent collaborator of Lamar, has been announced as a special guest for the show, following her successful year with the Grammy-winning album 'SOS.'
Lamar's performance is expected to feature his record-breaking and controversial diss track 'Not Like Us,' which played a major role in his public feud with Drake.
The feud between Lamar and Drake, spanning over a decade, escalated dramatically in 2024 with a series of diss tracks and legal actions, including Drake's recent lawsuit against Universal Music Group over the promotion of 'Not Like Us.'
The halftime show will also include performances by Louisiana-native artists, including Jon Batiste singing the national anthem and Trombone Shorty playing 'America the Beautiful.'
