We’re a little more than two weeks away from Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show at Super Bowl LIX. He’s now announced that SZA will join him as a special guest during the performance. Watch the playful trailer for the Apple Music Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show below.
Super Bowl LIX takes place on Sunday, February 9, at New Orleans’ Caesars Superdome. Lamar’s company with Dave Free, pgLang, is handling the creative direction for the halftime show performance. Diversified Production Services is producing the halftime show telecast with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation and Jesse Collins as executive producers, Hamish Hamilton as director, and Roc Nation also serving “as the strategic entertainment advisor of the live performance.”
Kendrick Lamar and SZA are longtime collaborators who used to be on the same label, Top Dawg Entertainment. They reunited on Lamar’s surprise album GNX, and Lamar also recently featured on SZA’s new album, SOS Deluxe: Lana. Beginning in April, Lamar and SZA will head out together on the Grand National Tour.
