Bad Bunny superfans battle in lively look-a-like contest
Bad Bunny fans pack a San Francisco taqueria for a lively look-a-like contest celebrating the Super Bowl headliner.
Super Bowl 60 isn’t just bringing the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks to Levi’s Stadium — it’s dropping one of the world’s biggest entertainment stages right into the heart of the Bay Area.
Roughly 100 million viewers tune in each year, turning the halftime show and anthem into career‑defining moments. And with the Feb. 8 NFL finale unfolding in Santa Clara, the Bay Area’s own musical identity — from Shoreline Amphitheatre summers to the Fillmore’s soul posters lining the walls — will be part of the cultural spotlight, too.
As California gets ready to host one of the world’s most-watched broadcasts, here’s who’s set to take the field musically before and during the game — and what fans across the state need to know heading into Super Bowl weekend.
Who is singing at the Super Bowl 2026?
Super Bowl 60 will feature several musical acts as part of its entertainment. Per usual, the most notable will be the halftime show and anthem singer.
Here’s a look at the musicians scheduled to perform as part of the ceremonies before and during the game:
- National Anthem: Charlie Puth
- “America The Beautiful”: Brandi Carlile
- “Lift Every Voice and Sing”: Coco Jones
- Halftime show: Bad Bunny
More guests may be added to the lineup ahead of the Super Bowl 60 halftime show. It isn’t clear whether they will be announced in advance or whether any surprise guests will join Bad Bunny during his set.
When is the Super Bowl halftime show?
While that depends on how long the Seahawks and Patriots take to get through 30 minutes of football, the show is expected to run live sometime between 5-5:30 p.m. on Feb. 8.
What channel is the Super Bowl halftime show on?
NBC has the exclusive broadcast rights to Super Bowl 60 and the halftime show. It will also be streamed live on Peacock.
