The NFL has revealed Tiësto as the inaugural in-game superstar DJ for Super Bowl LVIII. Scheduled to perform a dynamic DJ set before the game, Tiësto will set the stage for the players’ warm-up. He will also engage fans as they settle into Allegiant Stadium on February 11, 2024. This announcement is even more historic because Tiësto will continue as the in-game DJ, providing beats during featured breaks within the Super Bowl. This will be the first time a superstar DJ will be part of the Super Bowl experience.

Portions of Tiësto’s performance will be featured on the Super Bowl LVIII CBS broadcast and live-streamed on the artist’s social channels. The Grammy Award-winning, platinum-certified international icon is the pioneer in bringing electronic music to a global audience. He has a remarkable track record, including six Billboard “Hot 100” hits and an impressive 11 billion streams worldwide. His album “Drive” alone has garnered 5.8 billion streams and is on the verge of achieving platinum status in the US.

Even the NFL’s event presentation and content director, Tim Tubito, is quite excited about this decision. He said, “Each year, we look to elevate the in-stadium experience for our fans, and with our first Super Bowl in Las Vegas, it seems only fitting to embrace the legacy of iconic DJs in this city by having Tiësto bring his signature style to our biggest event.” Moreover, Tiësto is one of the biggest NFL fans and even has a favorite football team.

DJ Tiësto’s favorite NFL team

In a 2010 tweet, DJ Tiësto revealed that he just likes to enjoy the good game of the NFL. And he doesn’t have a favorite NFL team as such. He wrote, “I don’t have one favorite @nfl team, I just like the games and pick a fav team per game!” However, five years later, he named his favorite team and expressed his choice among the many teams.

In a special Q&A, he stated, “I’ve always been a football fan, and I’m from Europe, so I didn’t really have a team. But I support all my friends’ teams and one of my good friends is from Denver and also my girlfriend is from Denver so I thought, I’ve got to adopt them.
