Apart from Karina Pasian, the event will feature other exciting performances.

Who will perform at the Dolphins vs. the Commanders’ halftime?

For the Halftime Show, the league decided to bring in a familiar name, Puerto Rican star Daddy Yankee. The music legend will come out of retirement for this special event. But he won’t be performing alone.

The music legend will be joined by Argentine DJ and producer Bizarrap to perform their newest collaboration. The two will perform the “BZRP Music Sessions, Vol. 0/66” for the first time at the event.

“I am really looking forward to performing onstage again with the incredibly talented Bizarrap,” Daddy Yankee shared. “I feel so joyful about music and the amazing track we have created together – sharing it with fans around the world has already been so rewarding. Get ready, Madrid, get ready, NFL, we are going to have an amazing show!”

“Getting the opportunity to headline the halftime show for the NFL’s first game in Spain is a huge honor,” Bizarrap said. “Especially alongside Daddy Yankee, such a legend. We’re going to be celebrating our new song Daddy Yankee: BZRP Music Sessions, Vol. 0/66 on stage — I can’t wait.”

While DAZN will broadcast the game, nearly 84,000 fans are expected to be in attendance to watch the game, which is set to be unpredictable. Describing the league’s vision, the NFL’s executive vice president of international business and events called it “a mini Super Bowl.”

Considering the star-studded lineup, it doesn’t seem to be an exaggeration.
