Kendrick Lamar will perform the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show

Kendrick Lamar is about to pop out at the Super Bowl

Kendrick Lamar is having quite the year after a high-profile rap feud, and it just got even bigger after he announced Sunday he’ll be doing the halftime show for Super Bowl 59 in February.

Set to take place on Feb. 9, 2025, this season’s Super Bowl will happen at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. K. Dot will follow Usher as the halftime performer, though it won’t be his first halftime appearance.

Lamar was also a part of Dr. Dre’s halftime set in 2022.

Here was how Lamar announced his second halftime appearance:

If Lamar’s recent Ken and Friends show was a preview of what to expect, it’s going to be a great show. And if this line from Lamar’s announcement video — “there’s only one opportunity to win a championship. There’s no round twos” — sounded like a another petty jab at Drake, it probably was.

The victory lap continues.

FOX Sports releases teaser trailer for Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans

FOX Sports released a teaser trailer for Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans starring its “Cleatus the Robot” mascot:

The Kansas City Chiefs are still celebrating their victory in Super Bowl LVIII, but all eyes are looking forward to the upcoming Super Bowl LIX  — which will be played at the Caesars Superdome, home of the New Orleans Saints. The 2025 Super Bowl figures to be the championship game’s biggest event yet, and FOX Sports is already building anticipation for their keystone broadcast.

FOX Sports released a teaser trailer for Super Bowl LIX starring their mascot “Cleatus the Robot,” who found himself wandering the desert after Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas. The hitchhiking robot was picked up by revelers in a party bus, complete with a brass band, Mardi Gras beads, and a pet snake, before they hit the road for “New Orleans or Bust!”

Once it hosts Super Bowl LIX, New Orleans will tie Miami for being the cities to have hosted the most NFL title games (11). It’s going to be the first Super Bowl that New Orleans has hosted since 2013, but another successful event could lead to more championship games in the future. Maybe the Saints can play in one of them themselves.
