Jay-Z will headline the Super Bowl LXI halftime show on Feb. 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, the NFL, Apple Music and Roc Nation announced Monday.

The performance will put Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, at the center of a show his entertainment company has helped produce since 2019. Roc Nation advises the NFL on entertainment presentations and the selection of halftime performers. It will executive produce the 2027 show, with Hamish Hamilton directing.

“When we first reached an agreement with Roc Nation to produce the show, I had just one request: that Jay-Z take the stage himself one day, whenever the moment felt right to him,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said.

“From ‘Reasonable Doubt’ to standing on the Super Bowl halftime stage, this has been a journey,” Jay-Z said, referring to his 1996 debut album. “Thirty years of music, work, and culture on the world’s biggest stage. This run continues to be a dream come true.”

The 25-time Grammy winner recently completed a tour marking the 30th anniversary of *Reasonable Doubt*, ending with performances at SoFi Stadium.

Super Bowl LXI will air on ABC and ESPN and stream on Disney+ and the ESPN app.
