The Super Bowl, American football’s annual final game, is not just a sporting event. Many Americans and sports fans around the world look forward to other activities as well. It’s the musical halftime show, during which time some of the most anticipated and most expensive commercials on television are also aired.
The duel for the Vince Lombardi trophy next Sunday, February 13, between the Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Rams will start at 6:30 pm in Ecuador (3:30 pm in Los Angeles) and will take place at SoFi Stadium, home of the Rams located in Inglewood, California, but the Bengals, champions of the AFC, were designated as local due to the rotation that the NFL makes in its championship games.
The NFL organization announced the previous week that Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar and Eminem will perform as the halftime stars of Super Bowl LVI in 2022.
How long does a game last?
A football game lasts 60 minutes and is divided into four quarters of 15 minutes each. However, it can take longer as each incomplete pass or if a player leaves the field the clock stops, so the match can last an average of three hours. In the final game, the intermission, sponsored by Pepsi, also lasts approximately 15 minutes, due to the performances of the five artists announced.
Jay-Z and Roc Nation were behind the last two halftime shows: The Weeknd in 2021 and Jennifer Lopez and Shakira in 2020.
There are memorable presentations that went down in history for the quality of the artists and the show provided, among which the singers Jennifer Lopez and the Colombian Shakira stand out.
One of the most outstanding performances was Michael Jackson at Super Bowl XXVII. These are other presentations that fans consider to be the best:
- U2 – Super Bowl XXXVI
- Paul McCartney – Super Bowl XXXIX
- The Rolling Stones – Super Bowl XL
- Prince – Super Bowl XLI
- Katy Perry – Super Bowl XLIX
- Shakira and Jennifer Lopez – LIV.
But there have also been those who have not wanted to perform, like Rihanna and Cardi B, who have refused to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show to support former NFL player Colin Kaepernick’s protest against police brutality and systemic racism. for which he knelt during the national anthem.
