Arguably the Super Bowl halftime show is even more of a cultural cornerstone that the actual Chiefs vs Eagles NFL game for which it serves as the sandwich filling. Last year, 123.4 million people in the US alone tuned into Usher's spectacular show, breaking Rihanna's 121 million record a year earlier.
Eyeballs, then, are all-but guaranteed, not that Kendrick Lamar has ever been unduly worried about Quarterback Patrick Mahomes stealing the limelight. The 37-year-old Pulitzer Prize for Music winner has the stage to himself this year after performing mega hit Alright as co-headliner of the 2022 halftime show alongside Dr Dre, Eminem and Mary J Blige, among others.
A critical and commercial success, Lamar is a socially aware rapper and it was little surprise that he got the gig thanks to his friendship with Jay-Z and Roc Nation. “Rap music is still the most impactful genre to date," Lamar, a 22-time Grammy Award winner, says. "And I’ll be there to remind the world why. They got the right one.”
It's now confirmed that Lamar will be joined by regular collaborator SZA, with the pair due to co-headline the Grand National Tour later this year. Expect All the Stars to feature in the set, plus diss tracks Like That and Not Like Us.
Just don't expect Drake to be anywhere near Caesars Superdome. Unless hip-hop's most notorious modern-day feud since Tupac and Biggie is to come to a truly stunning end, that is.

Super Bowl 2025 Halftime Show FAQs
Who's performing at the 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show?
Kendrick Lamar is headlining the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show, three years after he co-headlined with Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg, Mary J Blige, Eminem and 50 Cent.
SZA has already been confirmed for the show, but there are always plenty of special guests who take to the stage. Just don't expect Drake to be one of them.
When will the 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show start?
The start time for the Super Bowl halftime show will be dictated by how long the first two quarters of the game last.
Seeing as the Super Bowl is scheduled to begin at 6.30pm ET / 3.30pm ET, and each quarter starts with 15 minutes on the clock, the halftime show will likely start around 8pm ET / 5pm PT.
How long is the Super Bowl halftime show?
Halftime intervals are typically restricted to 13 minutes in the NFL, but it isn't uncommon for the Super Bowl halftime interval to push 20 minutes with all the stage erecting that needs to happen.
Last year's halftime show by Usher was long enough to squeeze in an abridged version of 12 different tracks.
What are the rumors for the Super Bowl Halftime Show 2025?
As usual, the exact details of Kendrick Lamar's halftime show are being kept pretty hush-hush.
Not Like Us just won both Song of the Year and Record of the Year at the Grammys, so we'd definitely expect that to be on the setlist.
Lamar sang Alright in the 2022 set and, as one of the finest songs of the 2010s, that's also very likely.
The rumor that Oasis will be joining Lamar on stage at the Super Bowl seems entirely ridiculous to us. However, Lamar could bring rapper Baby Keem – his blood cousin – on stage for a cameo.
How much money are artists paid for the Super Bowl halftime show?
Like the artists who came before, Kendrick Lamar won't be paid to perform at the Super Bowl. However, seeing as the halftime show is one of the biggest musical platforms in the world, the exposure is as good as a guarantee of massive sales increases.
With his new album released last year, and two number ones coming from it, he'll be gunning for a performance for the ages.
Which have been the best Super Bowl Halftime Shows?
Well, that depends entirely on your perspective.
Prince's 2007 effort at Miami Gardens has gone down in legend for the biblical downpour that accompanied Purple Rain, while Kendrick Lamar's appearance with hip-hop royalty in 2022 was a banger for the modern era.
