Before Super Bowl LVIII kicks off in Las Vegas next month, country music legend Reba McEntire will set the stage with a rendition of the national anthem. Grammy-winner Post Malone will also perform, singing “America the Beautiful” while Andra Day will sing “Lift Every Voice and Sing.”

The performances will occur before the big game, followed by a halftime show by Usher. Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas is scheduled for February 11, 2024, at Allegiant Stadium, home of the Raiders.

McEntire, a three-time Grammy winner, has more than 30 studio albums and hits to her name, including “Fancy,” “Consider Me Gone” and “Does He Love You.” She joined the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2011 and even received a Kennedy Center honor in 2018. The former Broadway star also earned a Golden Globe nomination for her lead role on “Reba.” She released her latest album “Not That Fancy” last year, as well as a new book with the same title.

Post Malone is a 10-time Grammy nominee. The singer-rapper-songwriter released his fifth studio album “Austin” last year, which featured the song of the 2023 college football season, “Something Real.”

“Lift Every Voice and Sing” performer Andra Day is a Grammy, Emmy and Golden Globe Award winner, as well as an Academy Award nominee. In 2021, she portrayed Billy Holiday in the drama “The United States vs. Billy Holiday.” Day released her first studio album, “Cheers to the Fall” in 2015.

Usher to headline Super Bowl halftime show

Hip hop and rap artist Usher will headline this year’s Super Bowl Apple Music Halftime Show. Apple announced him as the main act in September and recently released a teaser trailer for the performance.

The 44-year-old has eight studio albums dating back to 1994, the self-titled Usher. He most recently released Hard II Love in 2016.

Usher also has a Las Vegas residency, a role he’s had since 2021. Those included Caesars Palace, Park MGM and Rendez-Vous A Paris – La Seine Musicale.

In his career, Usher has sold 23.8 million albums and 38.2 million digital songs in the Untied States. Internationally, Usher sold 80 million records worldwide, which made him one of the best-selling music artists of all-time. With 18 overall awards, Usher is the fifth-most awarded artist at the Billboard Music Awards.

Jay-Z’s Roc Nation company and Emmy-winning producer Jesse Collins are co-executive producers of the halftime show.
