Kendrick Lamar’s Halftime Show set list: what songs to expect
Kendrick Lamar, who was a guest performer at the Super Bowl three years ago, is to headline the NFL title game’s halftime entertainment.
Rapper Kendrick Lamar will headline the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show in New Orleans, where the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs are to go head to head for the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
“I’ve always been very open about storytelling”
Asked what viewers can expect from his performance at Caesars Superdome, the Californian rapper indicated earlier this week that his set list will seek to establish a clear narrative arc.
“I’ve always been very open about storytelling through all my catalogue and my history of music,” Lamar told his pre-Halftime Show press conference on Thursday. “And I’ve always had a passion about bringing that on whatever stage I’m on.”
Which songs will Kendrick Lamar perform in Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show?
The 37-year-old has numerous hits to his name, but he can only choose a handful for the Halftime Show, which normally lasts for between 10 and 15 minutes.
Fox Sports has confirmed that the 22-time Grammy-winning artist will perform “Not Like Us,” the famous song that’s part of his beef with the Canadian rapper Drake.
Given that SZA has been confirmed as a guest performer for Lamar’s Halftime Show, the pair may well dip into their catalogue of collaborations.
The artists have worked together on several successful songs, including “All the Stars,” “Luther,” “Gloria,” “Doves in the Wind” and “30 for 30.”
In February 2022, Kendrick was a guest performer in the Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show. During his appearance at SoFi Stadium, he performed “M.A.A.D City” and “Alright,” so he may choose not to include them this time.
However, Lamar may include songs like “DNA,” “Swimming Pools,” “Squabble Up,” “Don’t Kill My Vibe,” “Backseat Freestyle,” “Wacced Out Murals,” “Humble,” “TV Off,” and “The Heart Part 5″.
A possible set list leaked on social media featured songs such as “HUMBLE,” “DNA,” “All The Stars,” “Euphoria,” and “Bodies (GNX Snippet)”.
