Stars set tone for Super Bowl 60, from Green Day’s f-bomb to Puth, Carlile and Jones’ performances

  • On Feb. 8, 2026 at Levi's Stadium, Green Day, Charlie Puth, Brandi Carlile and Coco Jones performed live pre-game shows that set the tone for Super Bowl 60 kickoff.
  • To mark its 60th championship, the program featured a parade of former Super Bowl MVPs including Steve Young, Joe Montana and Jerry Rice, and continued traditions by performing `Lift Every Voice and Sing` by James Weldon Johnson.
  • Green Day shifted from a sentimental snippet to harder songs, and Billie Joe Armstrong did not censor the f-word while NBC muted it as fans cheered inside the stadium, while Puth sang the anthem in 1 minute, 56 seconds.
  • Sideline snapshots showed Chris Pratt and Jon Bon Jovi introducing teams, while Blue Ivy Carter leaped in an end zone for a photo. Donovan Mitchell held her FaceTime after the performance.
  • Looking toward halftime, Bad Bunny — the halftime artist — will deliver a 13-minute halftime show framed as a landmark for Latino culture after his recent Grammy for album of the year.
