Bad Bunny, currently one of the world’s most dynamic entertainers and the first Latino to headline Coachella, is finally ready. We can’t wait to see what he does at the Super Bowl LX halftime show on February 8, 2025! On September 25, 2025, concert organizers announced the Puerto Rican artist as headliner. His birth name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio. The yearly event, held at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, will draw 100 million viewers from around the world.
Now, boasting a three-time Grammy winner crown, Bad Bunny has proven his stake in the entertainment world. The exceptional combination of reggaeton and Latin trap that he’s mastered has taken the world by storm. His performance announcement has already generated criticism from conservative groups. They have been wary, especially of his selection of Spanish repertoire and his vocal advocacy for immigrants in the U.S. Even NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell came out in full-throated defense of Bad Bunny’s selection. He went on to stress that all of the artists selected have had experience with criticism or blowback.
In Bad Bunny’s teaser released today for the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show, Bad Bunny is calling everybody to party. We hope you’ll join us for this exciting 10th anniversary celebration! His goal is to provide an experience that is more than just fun. His performance is a celebration of “my people, my culture, and our history.”
Deconstructs the intensity and pressure that accompany such a high-profile gig. He stated, “It’s pretty hard to do when you have literally hundreds of millions of people that are watching.” Yet, he adds, he “feels huge pressure” to reach a large audience. All the while, he’s working hard to keep it real and authentically connected to where he came from.
Bad Bunny’s performance is most likely going to be done mostly in Spanish, which would highlight the rapper’s purpose of staying true to his cultural roots. He wants the world to see the true liveliness of all things Latin and how it runs through all music today. In just a few weeks, fans will be clamoring to catch his first performance of 2020. The next one this fall is gonna be historic in so many ways!
