It’s always a huge deal when the Super Bowl halftime lineup is announced. However, owing to its hip-hop and R&B talent, this year’s lineup has piqued the interest of football and music lovers alike. Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, and Mary J. Blige will perform together for the first time in Super Bowl LVI’s halftime show on February 13th, 2022, according to the NFL.

With the big match set for Inglewood, California’s SoFi Stadium — the first Super Bowl in the Los Angeles area in 30 years — the 2022 halftime show will focus on West Coast hip-hop, with Long Beach legend Snoop Dogg and Compton’s Dr. Dre and Lamar each performing for the first time on that stage. Jay-Roc Z’s Nation will again produce the Pepsi Halftime Show in part.
