Rapper Kendrick Lamar is charged up for his historic and iconic Super Bowl LIX performance and he is expected to bring one friend as a special guest.

Scheduled to come off on the 9th of February 2025, Lamar will take center stage at New Orleans’ Superdome for an unforgettable experience and a show-stopping display.

Teaming up with Apple Music, the rapper on Thursday the 23rd of January released a teaser for his anticipated NOLA performance on Feb. 9. In the clip, Lamar revealed that his upcoming tourmate SZA will be joining him on the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show stage.

While walking the Caesars Superdome turf and he’s surprised by SZA, who gives him a blue Gatorade bath as he teases a special guest hitting the stage with him, the Compton rapper appears on the phone.

“You know this field a lot bigger than people think so that’s a must,” Lamar says into the phone. “Exactly. Nah, I been thinking about a guest performer.” The 30-second clip then comes to a close soundtracked by Lamar’s GNX cut “Hey Now.”

Having well-crafted and globe-spanning songs including “30 for 30,” “Luther,” “Gloria,” “All the Stars” and “Doves in the Wind” to name a few, the duo will be thrilling patrons at the much-anticipated event.

With pgLang providing creative direction, Jay Z’s Roc Nation and Jesse Collins are joining forces as executive producers of Kendrick’s Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show.

In Los Angeles in 2022, Kendrick made a brief appearance as a special guest at Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre’s West Coast-themed Super Bowl Halftime Show. After appearing as a special guest, the ‘Not Like Us’ rapper is coming as the main headlining act. “Rap music is still the most impactful genre to date,” Lamar said in September when it was announced he’d be on the Super Bowl stage. “And I’ll be there to remind the world why. They got the right one.”

Between the Drake battle and the positive reception to GNX, 2024 was a banner year for Lamar, and he’s looking to take things to another level in ’25. February will be a busy month for Kendrick, who’s up for seven Grammy Awards, and will look to take home a few trophies before heading to New Orleans.

Super Bowl Sunday will only be a teaser for K. Dot and SZA as the former Top Dawg Entertainment teammates are headed out on a stadium run for the North American leg of their Grand National Tour starting up in April.
