Usher is officially performing the Super Bowl halftime show!

Apple Music confirmed that the 44-year-old superstar will be performing during the Apple Music Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show at Allegiant Stadium on Sunday, February 11, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada, airing on CBS.

Its an honor of a lifetime to finally check a Super Bowl performance off my bucket list. I cant wait to bring the world a show unlike anything else theyve seen from me before. Thank you to the fans and everyone who made this opportunity happen. Ill see you real soon, Usher said in a statement, via Variety.

Man, I haven't heard about him since I was in high school, people used to call him Micheal Jackson's successor because of his dance moves and songs like Let it burn, Confessions, Yeah! and Caught Up were constantly playing. I think he had a song with Alica Keys too. I'm surprised he hasn't played a Super Bowl before now.

Good choice!

Not that I'll be watching the game or the halftime show myself, but he is a great artist.

Just give the people what they want. What they've been asking for. What they need.

Give us Weird Al Yankovic, you cowards.

Do they even like each other anymore? Joey Fatone and Justin Tinberlake are the only two that seem to have somehow managed to retain some semblance of hollywood connections, last I heard of Lance Bass was his absolutely awful attempt at voicing Sepriroth in Kingdom Hearts 1

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

The Super Bowl loves 15-20 years past their prime. That basically 100% aligns with the favorite music of their target market. And even for the people outside that demo, a musician with a long career is just inherently more recognizable to more people.

If they put in a rising star like Olivia Rodrigo, they run a serious risk of a healthy chunk of the audience just not knowing who that is.

Didnt he perform in the halftime show with Black Eyed Peas? He even got to introduce Slash when he came out to play Sweet Child Of Mine during that show. Does that not count?

The pop charts is now dominated by country singers and alt right grifters. So unless they want to throw Gunna or Olivia Rodrigo up there to pair with Usher, there really is nobody at this time.

Miley is an option I suppose. Lol Post Malone with Usher. NFL would never touch Doja nor should they. Dua isn't on the charts right now.

From the Barbie movie. Dua Lipa isn't relevant by the standards of putting someone that is hot atm to appeal to the younger demographic. She hasn't made music in years.

Could you imagine - as much as they talk about doing something together - if *NSYNC and BSB did a Super Bowl together? That would be fucking wild.
