Show moreBrandi Carlile, Charlie Puth, Coco Jones to Perform at Super Bowl LX Pregame
The musical acts for the Super Bowl LX pregame show have been confirmed, featuring Brandi Carlile, Charlie Puth, and Coco Jones at Levi's Stadium on February 8, 2026. This lineup, announced ahead of the Bad Bunny-headlined Apple Music Halftime Show, will be broadcast live across NBC, Telemundo, and Peacock. The halftime production itself is a collaboration between Roc Nation—the multifaceted agency launched by Jay-Z in 2008 that has since become a major force in sports and entertainment representation—and veteran producer Jesse Collins.
This year's pregame is distinguished by an unprecedented commitment to accessibility. For the first time in Super Bowl history, the halftime show's American Sign Language presentation will be multilingual, incorporating Puerto Rican Sign Language under the direction of Deaf artist Celimar Rivera Cosme. This initiative, developed with advocates Alexis Kashar and Howard Rosenblum of the National Association of the Deaf, aims to authentically represent the cultural diversity within the Deaf community. The pregame anthems will also feature ASL, with performances by Deaf artist Fred Beam for the National Anthem and "Lift Every Voice and Sing," and Julian Ortiz for "America the Beautiful."
The selected artists bring a blend of critical acclaim and mainstream appeal. Eleven-time Grammy winner Brandi Carlile, whose 2021 album "In These Silent Days" earned widespread praise, will perform "America the Beautiful." Pop hitmaker Charlie Puth, known for crafting viral sensations like "Attention," is tasked with the National Anthem. Rising R&B star Coco Jones, who won a Grammy for her 2023 EP "What I Didn't Tell You" following her breakout role on Peacock's "Bel-Air," will sing "Lift Every Voice and Sing." This curation reflects a deliberate effort to bridge musical genres for the event's massive audience.
NFL and Roc Nation executives framed the announcements as a cultural milestone. "By uniting this caliber of talent with historic accessibility measures, we are setting a new standard for what a global broadcast can be," said Jon Barker, the NFL's SVP of Global Event Production. Roc Nation CEO Desiree Perez emphasized that the inclusion of Deaf performers was non-negotiable in planning a show for "every viewer." These efforts collectively aim to make Super Bowl LX a landmark in inclusive entertainment, potentially influencing how other major live events are produced for years to come.
