Recent artists from the hip-hop scene, such as Tyler, the Creator or Roddy Ricch, who have worked with him at other recent events, could also appear while Jon Batiste, a New Orleans native and Grammy and Oscar winner, will perform the national anthem in the pre-game ceremony, where he will be supported by Stephanie Nogueras in sign language.
In the pregame show, New Orleans musician and producer Trombone Shorty and Grammy winner Lauren Daigle will delight the audience with their rendition of “America the Beautiful” and another Grammy winner, Ledisi, also a native of New Orleans, will sing “Lift Every Voice and Sing.” No performer will be paid any amount in fees for his/her performance.

“What’s the deal everybody? My name’s Kendrick Lamar, and I’ll be performing at Super Bowl LIX. Will you be pulling up? I hope so. You know there’s only one opportunity to win a championship. No round twos,” Lamar said.
The set list for Kendrick’s Halftime show has not yet been made public but fans may safely assume, however, that he will be playing some of his best songs, including some of his diss tracks. The songs “Not Like Us” and “Like That” were both released while Kendrick and fellow rapper Drake were still at odds and fans are assuming that he may play both, as both became instant successes.
“Swimming Pools (Drank),” “Poetic Justice,” and his remix of Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood” are some of Kendrick’s other well-known songs. Although it’s unclear if Taylor will perform alongside Kendrick, if she does, it wouldn’t be the first time a collaborator has shared the stage with the main act.
For the event’s inaugural hip-hop showcase in 2022, Kendrick performed with Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, 50 Cent, and Mary J. Blige. The following year, Usher and Alicia Keys performed their popular song, “My Boo,” together during the 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show.
