Super Bowl LIX will honor the musical legacy of its host city during the pregame performances. Why it matters: The NFL received some pushback from New Orleans music fans when Kendrick Lamar was announced as the game's halftime performer.

Jon Batiste, Trombone Shorty, Lauren Daigle and Ledisi will provide pregame entertainment at the 2025 Super Bowl.

The NFL announced on Thanksgiving that the Super Bowl LIX pre-game telecast will spotlight singers and musicians from New Orleans and Louisiana. Jon Batiste, who grew up in Kenner and attended St. Augustine High School and the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts, will sing the national anthem in the Caesars Superdome ahead of kickoff on Feb. 9.

Lauren Daigle is a Louisiana native and multiple Grammy, American Music and Billboard Music Award winner known for her powerful voice and chart-topping hits. Her 2018 album Look Up Child debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard Top 200, making her the first female artist to reach the Top 10 on both the Pop and Christian Album charts simultaneously.

This year's Super Bowl, hosted by New Orleans, will feature a lineup of Louisiana-born musicians including Lauren Daigle and Jon Batiste.

Jon Batiste has been chosen to perform the National Anthem at Super Bowl LIX, which will be played February 9 in New Orleans.

The star-studded lineup of Jon Batiste, Trombone Shorty, Lauren Daigle and Ledisi honors the legendary music scene of New Orleans and features artists who call Louisiana home.
