BERLIN, Sept. 9 (Bernama-dpa) -- American rapper and songwriter Kendrick Lamar will headline the Super Bowl LIX half-time show, reported German Press Agency, quoting the NFL on Sunday.
The biggest American Football game is to take place on February 9, 2025 at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
"Few artists have impacted music and culture as profoundly as Kendrick Lamar. Time and time again, Kendrick has proven his unique ability to craft moments that resonate, redefine, and ultimately shake the very foundation of hip-hop," NFL head of music Seth Dudowsky said.
Lamar has achieved critical and cultural success since his second album "Good Kid, M.A.A.D City" was released in 2012. He has won 17 Grammy awards in his career and became the first non-classical, non-jazz musician to win a Pulitzer Prize for his 2017 album "DAMN."
His latest album "Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers," was released in May 2022.
Lamar recently performed at the Super Bowl LVI half-time show in 2022, which also starred Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, 50 Cent and Mary J Blige.
