This year‘s Super Bowl halftime show includes five performers: Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar.
This all-star rap/R&B performance will take place during the Rams vs. Bengals Super Bowl 56 game on Sunday, Feb. 13.
The Super Bowl halftime show has been around since the first Super Bowl in 1967. Up until the 1990s, marching bands typically headlined the halftime show. In 1993, Michael Jackson popularized having recent superstars headline the show instead.
The shows used to also have themes attached to them until 2003. The final themed show was performed by U2 in 2002 honoring the victims of Sept. 11, 2001.
