The Weeknd tapped to present the Super Bowl halftime show

Huge news … The weekend has officially announced that he will be doing the Super Bowl Halftime Show in February !!!

… as long as there is still a Super Bowl in February !!!

The superstar announced the news Thursday morning: “We all grow up watching the world’s greatest performers play the Super Bowl and we can only dream of being in that position. I am honored, honored and ecstatic to be the center of attention. of that infamous scene. this year. “

Weeknd was booked through Jay ZRoc Nation’s agency – which has a partnership with the NFL.

Jay also weighed in – saying, “This is an amazing moment in time and the Pepsi Super Bowl LV Halftime Show is going to be an amazing experience with an amazing artist.”

The game will take place on February 7 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, home of the Buccaneers.

As for the fans … the NFL has previously said it “hopes” to have thousands of spectators on hand for the game – but nothing is set in stone because of the COVID pandemic.

League officials have said they are preparing for every possible scenario – which includes few or no fans.

Obviously, that would make things weird for The Weeknd – to happen in a massive stadium, on a massive stage with no reaction from the live crowd.

But, even though there are no fans in the stadium, the Super Bowl attracts a MASSIVE worldwide television audience – Super Bowl 54 (Chiefs vs 49ers) in February drew 102 MILLION viewers !!

Of course, the halftime show for this game was epic – Shakira and Jennifer lopez!!

So how does The Weeknd plan to follow these legends?

He has a very good catalog – with hits like “Can’t Feel My Face”, “Starboy”, “The Hills Have Eyes” and many more.
