The NFL, Roc Nation, Apple Music, and the Super Bowl have all announced that Usher will be the featured artist at the 2024 Super Bowl Halftime performance. On Sunday, February 11, 2024, the game will be played at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.
In Super Bowl XLV, The Black Eyed Peas were the headlining act, and Usher was a guest on their halftime show. He said in an interaction with Access Hollywood earlier this year that if offered the halftime performance, he'd "be a fool" to decline it.
“It’s an honour 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,” Usher stated after the announcement was made. “Thank you to the fans and everyone who made this opportunity happen. I’ll see you real soon,” Usher added further.
Usher will not receive compensation for his performance at the Super Bowl as all other musicians do. The NFL does not pay performers for their halftime show appearances, but they are compensated for travel costs and all other costs related to putting on the halftime show, according to SportsKeeda.
Usher is now wrapping up his My Way, The Las Vegas Residency, which has garnered the singer acclaim for both his commanding dance routine and extensive catalogue of popular songs. The artist made his debut on the music scene in 1994 as a young singer with his self-titled album. He has since gone on to win eight Grammy Awards and sell 80 million albums worldwide.
