Usher has promised surprise guests and a show that celebrates both his past and present when he headlines the Super Bowl 2024 halftime show tonight (11 February) at the Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada.
The R&B singer, known for hits including “Yeah!”, “OMG” and “You Make Me Wanna…”, gave fans just a hint at what to expect during a press conference hosted by Apple Music in Las Vegas on Tuesday, and teased surprise guests that could include Nicki Minaj and Justin Bieber.
The kickoff is set for 3.30pm PT/6.30 pm ET/11.30pm GMT, with the three-hour-long game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers broadcasting live on CBS. UK fans will be able to watch the broadcast on ITV1.
Meanwhile, Taylor Swift is officially in the house, after racing from a show in Tokyo to get to the game in time to watch her boyfriend, Chiefs tight-end Travis Kelce, play. So far we’ve seen Post Malone perform “America the Beautiful” while country legend Reba McEntire perform “The Star-Spangled Banner”.
