Super Bowl 2022: Performance
This is the first time all five musicians will perform on stage together, and it’s one of the most packed Super Bowl lineups ever. Usually, the show has one or two main performers.
“The opportunity to perform at the Super Bowl Halftime Show, and to do it in my own backyard, will be one of the biggest thrills of my career,” Dr. Dre stated.
“I’m grateful to JAY-Z, Roc Nation, the NFL, and Pepsi as well as Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar for joining me in what will be an unforgettable cultural moment.”
Pepsi, the NFL, and Roc Nation have collaborated on the Super Bowl Halftime Show for the third year consecutively. In addition to the performance, Pepsi and the NFL are collaborating to launch Regional School #1, a magnet high school in the Los Angeles Unified School District in South Los Angeles.
Todd Kaplan, VP of Marketing, Pepsi said, “Artists like Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg were at the forefront of the West Coast hip hop revolution, so to be able to bring them back to LA, where it all began alongside Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar will prove to be an epic, unforgettable celebration of the impact hip hop has today.”
“The Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show has become a landmark cultural moment, bringing about some of the most iconic performances over the years – from JLo and Shakira to Lady Gaga to The Weeknd – and we are thrilled to bring together such an incredible array of talented, record-breaking musicians to put on a performance for the ages.”
