From the Halftime Show to pre-game festivities, here’s everyone performing in Las Vegas for the Super Bowl.
Super Bowl LVIII is coming up faster than a cornerback chasing down a lineman lumbering away after a fumble recovery. It’s the culmination of a season in which the defending champions struggled, Lamar Jackson made his case for a second MVP, too many teams lost QBs to injury, and the NFL offered wall-to-wall Taylor Swift coverage.
The Super Bowl, however, is never just about the game. Fans tune in for the football as well as the commercials and a host of high-profile musical performances — and this year’s performers offer plenty of reasons to tune in. The 2024 Super Bowl, the first to take place in Las Vegas, will feature appearances from Usher, Reba McEntire, and others.
Here’s a look at everyone scheduled to perform during the 2024 Super Bowl.

The Apple Music Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show will be headlined by R&B legend Usher. The “My Boo” singer will take the halftime show stage as a headliner for the first time, but it won’t be his first time grabbing the mic during halftime. He previously appeared as a guest during the Black Eyed Peas performance at Super Bowl XLV.
The singer, who recently wrapped up a residency in Las Vegas that started in 2021, called the gig the “honor of a lifetime.” He has not, however, tipped his hand as to what songs he’ll perform or who, if anyone, might pop up as a guest performer. Halftime show performances frequently have a litany of A-list musical guests, but that’s not always the case. During last year’s halftime show, Rihanna did not bring out any guests, and neither did the Weeknd two years earlier.

Country Music Hall of Famer and recent The Voice coach, Reba McEntire, will also be on the mic during the 2024 Super Bowl. McEntire has been enlisted to sing the national anthem, succeeding Chris Stapleton, who sang the anthem in 2023.
It’s a fitting role for McEntire, as “The Star-Spangled Banner” has played a big role in her career. McEntire sang the national anthem at the 1974 National Finals Rodeo in Oklahoma City. That performance was heard by country singer Red Steagall, who was in the audience and helped finance her first recording, which ultimately led to her first record deal. She continued to sing “The Star-Spangled Banner” at the National Finals Rodeo for the next decade. She returned to those roots recently when she sang the national anthem at the 2017 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, which, like Super Bowl LVIII, took place in Las Vegas.

Post Malone will join McEntire during the pre-game festivities. He will sing “America the Beautiful,” part of a three-song run that has opened the game since 2021.
The “Circles” singer follows in the shoes of Babyface, who sang “America the Beautiful” during the 2023 Super Bowl. The song has been part of the Super Bowl pre-game tradition since 2009.

Andra Day has been enlisted to sing “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” often called the Black National Anthem. The song has been part of the Super Bowl’s pre-game telecast since 2021 when Alicia Keys first sang the song at the sporting event.
Day, who announced plans to release her third album this month, is the fourth singer to perform the song at the most-watched televised event in the U.S. Mary Mary sang it in 2022, and last year, Abbott Elementary’s Sheryl Lee Ralph had the honor.
