The Apple Music Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show is produced by Roc Nation, DPS, and Jesse Collins, with pgLang—Lamar’s creative company—leading the artistic direction. Hamish Hamilton will serve as the director.
Aside from the halftime show, the Super Bowl LIX pregame entertainment will feature Grammy-winning musician Jon Batiste performing the national anthem, while Trombone Shorty, Ledisi, and Lauren Daigle will deliver powerful renditions of “America the Beautiful” and “Lift Every Voice and Sing”.
