Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, will be the stage for a historic Super Bowl halftime show on , as Bad Bunny takes center stage during Super Bowl LX. The championship game between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks will also feature a performance by Green Day as part of the opening ceremony, a musical pairing that has already drawn attention amidst a politically charged climate.
The Puerto Rican singer, fresh off winning six Grammy Awards, will become the first Latino and Spanish-speaking artist to headline the Super Bowl halftime show solo. This performance marks a significant moment for Latin music, bringing the genre to an estimated audience of 127 million viewers.
Green Day will kick off the festivities with a special ceremony celebrating the Super Bowl’s 60th anniversary and honoring past Most Valuable Players. The California-based band will perform in their home region, the Bay Area, offering a selection of their hits as the league’s legends are recognized. The opening ceremony is designed to build excitement before kickoff, with simultaneous broadcasts on NBC and its associated platforms in the United States.

A Halftime Show Shaped by Political Context
The selection of both Bad Bunny and Green Day has positioned the Super Bowl as another arena in the ongoing cultural and political dialogue. Green Day’s inclusion has reignited tensions with former President Trump, following the band’s consistent criticism of his policies and their use of songs like “American Idiot” as protest anthems. At Coachella 2025, Billie Joe Armstrong adapted the lyrics of the song to explicitly denounce the MAGA movement.
Bad Bunny has also been vocal in his opposition to Trump’s immigration policies and the actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), even going so far as to exclude the continental United States from one of his recent tours due to fears of raids targeting his Latino fans. In light of these concerns, the NFL has assured the public that ICE will not conduct immigration enforcement operations during the Super Bowl event.
Trump has announced he will not attend Super Bowl LX, having attended the previous year’s game, and has openly criticized both Bad Bunny and Green Day, accusing them of “spreading hate” and being a “terrible choice” for the halftime show.
