"SUPER BOWL LX is making history: For the first time, the halftime show will feature a Spanish language-dominant solo performance, led by multi-Grammy-winning Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny. While Latin powerhouses such as Shakira and Jennifer Lopez have electrified previous shows, this groundbreaking moment represents something bigger -- a celebration of Latin music's explosive global reach and a nod to the 40-plus-million Spanish speakers calling the U.S. home. This isn't just entertainment; it's a cultural earthquake showcasing how American identity and inclusivity are constantly evolving."
"Gloria Estefan was the first Hispanic artist to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show in 1992. Estefan performed "Live for Loving You" and "Get on Your Feet" on a 50-foot elevated platform to close out the "Winter Magic" themed halftime show in Minneapolis. The Cuban-American artist returned to the Super Bowl stage seven years later and performed alongside Stevie Wonder and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy at Super Bowl XXXIII."
Bad Bunny will headline the Super Bowl LX halftime show as the first solo performer whose set is Spanish language-dominant, signaling a major moment for Latin music. The performance highlights Latin music's global influence and acknowledges more than 40 million Spanish speakers in the United States. Super Bowl LX takes place Feb. 8, 2026, at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, featuring the Seattle Seahawks versus the New England Patriots and broadcasts including Hulu+Live TV. Past Hispanic halftime contributors include Gloria Estefan, who first performed in 1992 and returned at Super Bowl XXXIII, and Arturo Sandoval, who delivered a trumpet solo in 1995.
