Multi-Grammy winning artists Kendrick Lamar and SZA will lead the halftime festivities from the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Feb. 9.
SZA is Lamar’s former Top Dawg Entertainment labelmate. She appeared on his recent album “GNX” and was featured on a couple songs including “Gloria” and “Luther,” which also features sampled vocals from Luther Vandross and Cheryl Lynn through “If This World Were Mine.”
The duo’s previous hits include the Oscar-nominated “All the Stars” and “Doves in the Wind.”
Lamar and SZA will also co-headline a 19-city North American tour this spring and summer. The Grand National Tour kicks off April 19 in Minneapolis and concludes June 18 in Washington, D.C.
Roc Nation and Emmy-winning producer Jesse Collins will serve as co-executive producers of the halftime show. The creative direction of Lamar’s performance will be provided by pgLang, a creative company founded by Lamar and Dave Free — who has previously directed the rapper’s music videos.
Last year, Usher shined with a star-studded show and guests including H.E.R., Jermaine Dupri, Lil Jon, Ludacris and Alicia Keys.
