Watch the Super Bowl LVI halftime show trailer: Dr. Dre, Eminem, Snoop Dogg...
We've known about the Super Bowl LVI half-time show line-up for a few months, and now's your chance to get a taste of what will be seen on February 13, 2022
Super Bowl LVI | Rams vs Bengals live updates
Back at the end of September we found out the acts who would be gracing the stage of the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood California for the Super Bowl LVI halftime show. The event itself felt like a distant desire but as the calendar flips onto Thursday 20 January, everything seems a lot, lot closer.
That sense of 'oh my god, it's almost here' is amplified with the release from Pepsi of the trailer to the halftime show... and you can watch it here.
Dr. Dre, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dogg and Mary J. Blige

The five artists all have ties to LA, with this being the first time that in nearly 30 years that the Super Bowl has been played in the city.
