Puerto Rican music superstar Bad Bunny — a critic of President Donald Trump and his hardline anti-immigration agenda — will headline the Super Bowl LX halftime show at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on Feb. 8.
The musician, real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, announced the gig on social media on Sunday via a video of himself sitting on top of a goalpost on a beach. See the clip here.
“Super Bowl LX. Bay Area. February 2026,” the artist, who shredded Trump in the music video for hit single “NUEVAYoL” released in July, captioned the short clip.
On X, formerly Twitter, the Grammy-winning artist added: “I’ve been thinking about it these days, and after discussing it with my team, I think I’ll do just one date in the United States.”
That referred to his revelation earlier this month that his “Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour” was in part skipping the U.S. because of Trump’s anti-immigrant crackdown. “There was the issue of ― like, fucking ICE could be outside [my concert]. And it’s something that we were talking about and very concerned about,” he said at the time.
In a statement released by the NFL, the reggaeton star said of the show: “What I’m feeling goes beyond myself. It’s for those who came before me and ran countless yards so I could come in and score a touchdown… this is for my people, my culture, and our history. Ve y dile a tu abuela, que seremos el HALFTIME SHOW DEL SUPER BOWL.”
Kendrick Lamar’s 2025 Super Bowl halftime show ― featuring Samuel L. Jackson, SZA, Serena Williams and DJ Mustard — drew outrage from supporters of Donald Trump… and Drake.
Bad Bunny will also host the return of “Saturday Night Live” on Oct. 4.
