Bad Bunny, a Puerto Rican native and music artist, was invited to perform at the upcoming Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, CA, on Feb. 8, 2026. This halftime show will be right in the middle of his 24-show tour and will be a remarkable achievement in the already accomplished artist’s career.
Bad Bunny’s accomplishments include three Grammys, 11 Latin Grammys, eight Billboard Music Awards, and many others. The Super Bowl halftime show has been historically known to almost be a green-hashed canvas for creative directors to paint the picture and message they want to convey on the world’s biggest stage.
Previous Halftime Shows at a Glance
Looking back at unique stage designs of last year’s halftime show like Kendrick Lamar’s multiple stage design, or Rihanna’s red stage with flying platforms, the hip-hop tribute in 2022 with notable pioneers of the modern hip-hop era like Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar performed on stage with a floor showing a stretch of Los Angeles, or more specifically Compton, where Kendrick Lemar and Dr. Dre were raised.
Student Body Weighs In on Previous and Upcoming Performance
When asked about their all-time favorite Super Bowl Halftime Show performance, senior Maelyn Rodriguez said, “Katy Perry. She made the stage like a beach party, it was sick.”
Spectators of this event have many different expectations of the Super Bowl halftime show, but fans of Bad Bunny are looking forward to getting a performance like never before.
“That’s a big achievement for the Latino community. Whenever he performs, he sells out immediately, so it’s gonna be a good show,” added senior student Matias Mejia.
Bad Bunny’s Recent Puerto Rico Concert Residency
To fully understand what Bad Bunny could set up for his halftime show, it’s important to look at his recent Puerto Rico concert residency at the José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum in San Juan. Livestreamed on Amazon Music, the show featured pyrotechnics, incredible visuals enhanced by laser lighting, screen visuals, and the overall presentation of the show via the live stream. The beginning of the show played like a stage play set in a nature-like scene, and the performance took place across two separate stages.
A funny note was when, as the show transitioned into the second stage, Bad Bunny went on a FaceTime with a recurring character in his album’s story, named Concho.
What The Show May Look Like
My personal prediction of what to expect from the show is him bringing the beaches and natural beauty of his home of Puerto Rico into a packed out Levi’s Stadium with popular songs from his discography and new ones from his latest release, “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS,” which speaks all about preserving the beauty and nature of Puerto Rico and it’s native residents.
With the budget allowed for a Super Bowl show, and how well the production of his recent concerts in Puerto Rico were, I think people can expect to enjoy the full creative skill of Bad Bunny come February.
