Lauren Daigle, Jon Batiste, Trombone Shorty, and Ledisi are bringing the soulful heart of New Orleans to the world’s biggest stage! These Louisiana-born stars will light up the pregame show for Super Bowl LIX at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on February 9, honoring the city’s legendary music scene with electrifying performances.
Jon Batiste, known for his Grammy-winning genius and vibrant performances, will set the tone with a stirring rendition of the national anthem. Fans can look forward to a powerful duet of “America the Beautiful” by the jazzy brilliance of Trombone Shorty and the angelic voice of Lauren Daigle. Adding an extra dose of inspiration, Ledisi will perform the iconic “Lift Every Voice and Sing.”
The NFL is leaning into New Orleans’ rich cultural heritage for this unforgettable celebration. Seth Dudowsky, head of music at the NFL, shared his excitement:
“We’re honored to work with this year’s pregame lineup to celebrate the rich musical legacy of New Orleans and the entire state. The Super Bowl is a rare moment to unite fans around the world, and this year’s performers will bring the energy, soul, and vibrant sounds of the region to a global stage, as we kick off Super Bowl LIX with a celebration to remember.”
Inclusivity will also shine bright during the Super Bowl festivities, with American Sign Language (ASL) performances woven into the pregame and halftime shows. Stephanie Nogueras will sign the “Star-Spangled Banner” and “America the Beautiful,” while Otis Jones IV will interpret “Lift Every Voice and Sing.” Meanwhile, Matt Maxey will bring his dynamic signing to the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show, headlined by none other than Kendrick Lamar.
