The event adds a major music moment to the sports and culture already surrounding Super Bowl weekend.
Sting, a 17‑time Grammy winner and global icon from The Police and his solo career, will headline a Super Bowl concert. The show is part of the NFL’s Studio 60 concert series produced with On Location.
The Palace of Fine Arts provides a smaller and more intimate setting than the stadium. The league says this event shows that the Super Bowl now includes food, culture, music, and entertainment, not just football.
This announcement is very important for the NFL. Debate continues over the halftime performer Bad Bunny, whose selection drew political and cultural criticism. Adding Sting earlier in the weekend expands the league’s musical appeal and makes San Francisco a major entertainment hub.
Fans who do not connect with the halftime show can still enjoy another headline concert. Packages include food, drinks, lounge access, and meet and greets with NFL stars, blending sports, music, and lifestyle into one experience.

Bad Bunny’s selection caused controversy, particularly among conservative groups and critics who opposed his political views and Spanish language performances. U.S. President Donald Trump and other MAGA supporters openly voiced their disapproval.
Jay Z and Roc Nation stood firm, emphasizing the cultural significance and global impact of Bad Bunny. The NFL’s partnership with Roc Nation let the halftime show highlight diversity and inclusivity with music beyond mainstream English language pop.
Jay Z says the backlash is just noise and that Bad Bunny’s talent and message connect with fans of all ages. Their appearance at the Super Bowl marks a new era of socially aware and culturally rich entertainment.
