This performance is significant not only for Usher but also for the city of Las Vegas, as it marks the first time the Super Bowl will be hosted in the Entertainment Capital of the World.

Usher, a native of Atlanta and a global music sensation expressed his excitement, stating, “It’s an honor of a lifetime to finally check a Super Bowl performance off my bucket list. I can’t wait to bring the world a show unlike anything else they’ve seen from me before. Thank you to the fans and everyone who made this opportunity happen. I’ll see you real soon.” Fans can expect a spectacular show, filled with Usher’s signature moves and electrifying stage presence.

The 2023 halftime show featuring Rihanna was a monumental success and became the most-watched halftime show of all time, dethroning Jennifer Lopez and Shakira’s performance. Expectations for another record-breaking performance are high, with Usher taking the stage in 2024.
