On February 8, 2024, Charlie Puth will perform the national anthem at Super Bowl 60, as confirmed by the NFL. The event, taking place at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, promises a high-profile entertainment lineup, featuring award-winning artists.
Super Bowl Entertainment Lineup
Puth, known for hit songs like “Attention” and “See You Again,” has achieved significant commercial success, with over 35 billion streams and multiple platinum singles. His performance will precede the kickoff of the game, which is set for 6:30 p.m. Eastern Time.
Alongside Puth, Brandi Carlile will sing “America the Beautiful,” while Coco Jones is scheduled to deliver “Lift Every Voice and Sing.” Desiree Perez, CEO of Roc Nation, expressed excitement about the lineup, stating, “Charlie, Brandi, and Coco are generational talents, and we are honored to have them… on Super Bowl LX’s world stage.”
Opening Ceremony and Reactions
The event will also feature an opening ceremony led by Green Day, who are expected to perform a selection of their well-known anthems. The trio, consisting of Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tre Cool, will kick off the festivities with their energetic performance.
Puth’s appearance comes ahead of the release of his fourth studio album, titled “Whatever’s Clever!,” scheduled for March 6, 2024. Despite his impressive credentials, some critics have expressed disappointment regarding his selection for the national anthem. Online commentator Link Lauren voiced concerns, saying, “Man we’ve fallen from when Whitney Houston sang at the Super Bowl. Charlie Puth? He’s not gonna give us vocals, I’m afraid.”
Puth responded directly to these comments, acknowledging the legacy of Whitney Houston but assuring fans that a “special arrangement” is in the works, claiming, “It’ll be one of my best vocal performances.”
Super Bowl 60 marks a return to Levi’s Stadium, which last hosted the game in 2016. That year, the Denver Broncos triumphed over the Carolina Panthers with a score of 24-10.
As the countdown to the event begins, anticipation builds not only for the game itself but for the impressive array of musical talent set to take the stage. Super Bowl 60 is shaping up to be a memorable occasion, celebrating both athletic prowess and musical artistry.
