Who is performing at the 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show?

American rapper Kendrick Lamar is the headlining artist for the halftime show at Super Bowl LIX. He will be joined by special guest R&B singer SZA, who worked with Lamar when both were signed to Top Dawg Entertainment from 2013-2022.

Lamar released his sixth studio album, GNX, in 2024. He is likely to perform hit songs from it as he prepares to go on his Grand National Tour with SZA in support of the album.

SZA has made a few songs with Lamar in the past, including "Doves in the Wind," "Easy Bake," and "Luther," which the artists could perform together. It's also possible that they will bring out surprise guests, which has happened in previous years.
