After months of rumors and speculation, the NFL announced that pop band Maroon 5 will officially be headlining the Super Bowl halftime show this year, with additional performances by rappers Travis Scott and Big Boi.
The NFL released an official statement on its website, writing, “Three-time Grammy Award-winning multiplatinum band Maroon 5 will take center stage at the Pepsi Super Bowl LIII Halftime Show on CBS at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Sunday, Feb. 3, 2019, they confirmed today. Maroon 5 will feature a slate of guest artists including Grammy-nominated rapper Travis Scott and Atlanta native Big Boi bringing together the broadest range of musical genres ever seen on the Super Bowl stage.”
While some people are absolutely thrilled about Maroon 5 headlining the big show, others are not as pleased. One Twitter user was particularly angry at the situation, writing, “The difference is that Coldplay was actually a good band in its prime that has had an impact on rock music. Maroon 5 is plain trash who won’t be remembered in 10 years.” Eek. Those are fightin’ words! It’s just a halftime show, dude. Calm down.
Anyway, Maroon 5 frontman and The Voice coach Adam Levine gave fans a taste of what’s to come by simply tweeting out a promo video, hashtagging it “#SBLIII.”
The Super Bowl airs on Sunday, February 3. Will you be tuning in to watch Maroon 5 take the stage?
