HALF-TIME SUPER BOWL. This Sunday, February 12, 2023, Rihanna is performing the traditional halftime show for the 2023 Super Bowl final, at the University of Phoenix Stadium.
[Mis à jour le 12 février 2023 à 18h30] DJ Snake before the game, Rihanna at halftime: the Super Bowl 2023 poster has something to dream about. This Sunday, February 12, the NFL event will see the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, which can accommodate 63,400 spectators.
And it is therefore Rihanna who will make her long-awaited return after several years of (musical) silence, and a child with rapper A$AP Rocky.

In addition to Rihanna, it is a Frenchman who has been chosen to kick off the Super Bowl 2023, Sunday February 12: DJ Snake will be on the decks at the opening of the match, before leaving the stage to Rihanna. The announcement was made on Thursday January 26 on the social networks of the National American Football League (NFL) and relayed on the accounts of the Parisian artist.

The Super Bowl halftime concert, an event
Every year, halftime at the Super Bowl Finals, sponsored by Pepsi, is one of the most anticipated moments for viewers. The greatest artists in the world have performed there, such as Lady GagaU2, Bruno Mars, Coldplay, The Weeknd, Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake and many more.
The Super Bowl halftime is regularly used by entertainers to send political messages. Three years ago, for the Super Bowl 2019, Jenifer Lopez and Shakira had several times sent spades to the president in office at the time, Donald Trump. In 2022, at the end of his performance, rapper Eminem knelt, in tribute to the icon of Civil Rights and quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who had made this gesture in 2016 during the american anthem to protest against police violence racists in the United States. A strong gesture, which had also earned him to be banned from the NFL.
