Usher, 44, has been confirmed as the headline act for the 2024 Super Bowl Halftime Show in Las Vegas.

This will be the singer’s second Super Bowl performance, the last time being back in 2011 alongside the Black Eyed Peas.

Apple Music, who will present the halftime show at the Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada, during the big game on February 11th, 2024, confirmed the My Boo singer as the headline act in a post with Kim Kardashian breaking the news to him.

In this post, the 2004 music video for Confessions plays, but Kim’s script with the news is written around the original one from the video released almost 20 years ago, which sees Usher receive shocking news.

Last year, Rihanna was the headline act and announced she was pregnant with her second baby on stage mid-performance.

Speaking on the announcement, Usher said in an NFL statement, “It’s an honor of a lifetime to finally check a Super Bowl performance off my bucket list. I can’t wait to bring the world a show unlike anything else they’ve seen from me before.

“Thank you to the fans and everyone who made this opportunity happen. I’ll see you real soon.”

Jay-Z, whose company, Roc Nation, will produce the halftime show for the fifth year in succession, said: “Usher is the ultimate artist and showman. Ever since his debut at the age of 15, he’s been charting his own unique course. Beyond his flawless singing and exceptional choreography, Usher bares his soul.”

“His remarkable journey has propelled him to one of the grandest stages in the world. I can’t wait to see the magic,” added the rapper, 53.
