Sting to Headline Super Bowl LX Concert in San Francisco
Singer Sting will perform a concert on February 6th at San Francisco’s Palace of Fine Arts as part of the NFL’s Super Bowl LX hospitality events, On Location announced yesterday.
The performance will take place two days before Super Bowl LX kicks off at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on February 8th. The concert is part of the “Super Bowl LX Studio 60” event, promising a weekend of music and entertainment, with ticket prices starting at $750. Attendees will also have opportunities for meet-and-greets with both current NFL players and league legends.
This announcement follows recent controversy surrounding the selection of Bad Bunny as the Super Bowl LVIII halftime performer, drawing criticism from several political figures. Despite the backlash, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell last week defended the decision, stating, “I’m confident it’s going to be a great show,” and acknowledging that criticism is common when selecting halftime performers. You can find more information about the Super Bowl on the official NFL website.
Sting previously performed at the Super Bowl halftime show in 2003 alongside Shania Twain and No Doubt. A second night of Studio 60 festivities is scheduled for February 7th at the same venue, though the performer has not yet been announced. The Bay Area is anticipating a significant economic boost from the influx of visitors for Super Bowl weekend, and events like these contribute to that impact.
NFL officials stated they expect a united and exciting atmosphere during Super Bowl weekend despite the ongoing discussions surrounding performer choices.
