Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show Lineup Announced (2022)

Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar will perform for the first time onstage together at the 2022 Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show.

The NFL, Pepsi and Roc Nation announced Thursday that the five music icons will perform on Feb. 13 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. Dre, Snoop Dogg and Lamar are Southern California natives.
 
This just in: It's an all-rap and R&B halftime this year.


The 2022 Super Bowl will be played at Sofi Stadium in Los Angeles. It's a local gig for most of these performers.
 
And a channel switch for most of the country.
That is my thought, based on the radio data that shows that their collective music genre is only preferred or used by a minority percentage of listeners.

On the other hand, after the last 18 months, it's sociologically an appropriate thing to do at this time. Those who don't agree can tune out and listen to some Morgan Wallen songs.

More people probably watch the halftime show & commercials, rather than the game. The Super Bowl halftime show is bloated spectacle and most of them have been dreadful. Prince gave what may have been the best. This years group of acts doesn't appeal to me, but it will to some.

It all depends on the demographics. The old folks may want "Up With People" or Lawrence Welk stuff. They had the Who, Paul McCartney, and Tom Petty some years back for old rockers. The acts are going to be aimed at the advertiser friendly demos. The Radio data you mentioned is irrelevant. That has nothing to do with the Super Bowl...

Unnecessary cheap shot at Wallen and country fans in general. He's a big talent and has an absolutely fantastic new single out that's stalled in the 20s because some stations (and woke SiriusXM) refuse to give him exposure because of what he was caught saying months ago. At what point does radio, and everyone else, separate art from artist and put this behind them?
 
Vile racial slurs aren’t exactly easy to ignore. Thats got nothing to do with the latest imaginary boogeyman of “woke.” Those things will fade at different rates under different circumstances and by different businesses.

Entertainment is still a business. TV Land dropped the Cosby Show reruns. ABC killed off the Roseanne character due to her absurd comments. Wallen made ignorant statements. Sometimes you get penalized for bringing it on yourself...

Not a cheap shot; if someone who neither likes... nor accepts... those artists chosen for the next SuperBowl, then they have plenty of good artists in other styles they can go listen to.

My point is that, at this moment, it is socially good and proper to demonstrate that this aspect, music, of Black and African heritage culture, is worth presenting at the always prominent half-time show of the biggest game of the year.

I have never watched the game, as I'm a fan fanatic of soccer. But I record and then watch the ads and the half-time show. The ads alone are worth the effort, and the show, even when it does not cover my own musical tastes, is always an amazing production and a reflection over the years of the amazing variety of American musical styles.

It always seems that the shows try, each year, to reflect one of the different musical aspects of football culture. Rather than having a mixture, Grammy style, of different artists and genres, they focus on one aspect with each half-time show. That will always generate some criticism, but I think it is an appropriate reflection of American diversity.

It's also supported by the NFL. Last year Roger Goodell said the league would support Black Lives Matter.

As useless and terrible as the game itself. A normal weekend produces more worthwhile contests than the Stupid Bowl. And the halftime show is not up to the miserable level of a Fox junktime show.

The Stupid Bowl does have one positive feature though and that is to clear the freeways to permit an alternative to a genuine activity without heavy traffic.

I think you just won a free lifetime Curmudgeon Club of America membership with that!:rolleyes:

I actually love the concept of the Super Bowl. It's not a long, drawn out and often anticlimactic deal like the World Series*. It's a one-time, winner takes it all challenge. More like a Shakespearean sword fight, it fight to the death in one singe game.

* Which actually should be called the Part Of North America Series.
