The NFL is showing off a little Hollywood love for Superbowl 56. 

The league announced on Thursday a lengthy list of performers for the 2022 Pepsi Halftime Show in Inglewood, Calif. The Super Bowl is scheduled to take place in California for the first time in over 30 years, hosted by SoFi Stadium, the $5 billion home of the Rams and Chargers that opened in 2020.

Just three weeks into the 2021 NFL season, Eminem was the first to break the news about what will likely be the most hip-hop focused halftime show performance yet. He announced on Twitter that he will be performing alongside three of California’s rap legends on the national stage for the very first time.

Blige and Kendrick Lamar will prove to be an epic, unforgettable celebration of the impact hip hop has today,” Pepsi vice president Todd Kaplan said in the NFL’s announcement.

“The Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show has become a landmark cultural moment, bringing about some of the most iconic performances over the years â€" from JLo and Shakira to Lady Gaga to The Weeknd â€" and we are thrilled to bring together such an incredible array of talented, record-breaking musicians to put on a performance for the ages.”
