The Weeknd will perform at the Super Bowl LV halftime show but it may look different due to COVID-19 guidelines
COVID-19 was the cause of canceling a slew of events this year but not the Super Bowl halftime show.
The Weeknd is set to headline the Pepsi Super Bowl LV Halftime show. According to CBS Sports on Thursday, Roc Nation is collaborating for the event and including The Weeknd was a no-brainer.
“The Weeknd has introduced a sound all his own. His soulful uniqueness has defined a new generation of greatness in music and artistry,” said Jay-Z, Roc Nation founder. “This is an extraordinary moment in time and the Pepsi Super Bowl LV Halftime Show is going to be an extraordinary experience with an extraordinary performer.”
Performing at The Super Bowl has been a goal for The Weeknd.
“We all grow up watching the world’s biggest acts playing the Super Bowl and one can only dream of being in that position,” said the singer. “I’m humbled, honored and ecstatic to be the center of that infamous stage this year.
