UPDATE: Sting has been confirmed as the headliner for a pre-Super Bowl concert, creating excitement just days before the highly anticipated halftime show featuring Bad Bunny. The concert is set for February 6, 2026, at the iconic Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco, according to an announcement from the NFL’s hospitality provider, On Location.
This special event will take place just two days ahead of the Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, where Bad Bunny will perform during the halftime show. Sting’s performance is part of the Super Bowl LX Studio 60 event, promising an unforgettable weekend of music entertainment.
Tickets will offer various packages, including options for general access, all-inclusive food and beverage, and exclusive meet-and-greet opportunities with NFL legends. The anticipation is heightened as fans prepare for a weekend filled with celebrity performances and unique experiences.
The announcement comes amidst rising controversy surrounding Bad Bunny’s selection as the halftime performer. Political figures, including former President Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson, have publicly criticized the choice, with Trump stating, “I’ve never heard of him… It’s, like, crazy.” This backlash has ignited a heated debate among fans and critics alike.
Despite the criticism, Bad Bunny has received vocal support from numerous celebrities, including Jennifer Lopez and Shakira. Rita Moreno passionately defended him, saying, “So what? I’m Puerto Rican too. So what? What a nuisance!” The artist himself addressed the backlash humorously during his recent hosting gig on Saturday Night Live, asserting his excitement for the Super Bowl performance.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell responded to the criticism in a press conference, emphasizing Bad Bunny’s global popularity. “He’s one of the leading and most popular entertainers in the world,” Goodell said, defending the choice as essential for the entertainment value of the event.
With only months to go until the Super Bowl weekend, fans are buzzing with anticipation for Sting’s intimate concert and Bad Bunny’s groundbreaking halftime show. It’s a defining moment for the NFL as it embraces diverse musical talent.
Stay tuned for further updates and details as the Super Bowl weekend approaches, including additional performers for the concert being revealed soon. This developing story promises to be one of the most talked-about events in entertainment and sports.
