R&B legend Usher is set to headline the Super Bowl LVIII halftime show, and millennials are losing it.
The NFL, Roc Nation, and Apple Music announced that the singer will take the stage at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, on February 11, 2024. It will be Usher's second time performing at the Super Bowl following his 2011 appearance alongside the Black Eyed Peas.

"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," Usher said in a joint statement shared by the NFL on Sunday. "Thank you to the fans and everyone who made this opportunity happen. I'll see you real soon."

Jay-Z, whose company Roc Nation produces the halftime show and serves as strategic entertainment advisors, praised Usher's talent in the statement.
"Usher is the ultimate artist and showman. Ever since his debut at the age of 15, he's been charting his own unique course. Beyond his flawless singing and exceptional choreography, Usher bares his soul. His remarkable journey has propelled him to one of the grandest stages in the world. I can't wait to see the magic," Jay-Z said.
