The 2024 Super Bowl will feature more than just the most important NFL game of the year — there will also be several performances by some of the biggest artists in the music industry. In 2023, Chris Stapleton, Babyface, and Sheryl Lee Ralph all showed off their vocal chops before the big game, while Rihanna put on an electric halftime show where she revealed she was pregnant with her second child.
Unfortunately, Tiësto who was set to be the big game’s house DJ was forced to pull out due to a family emergency on Thursday, February 8. He has not released further details about why he won’t be able to perform, but many other stars will still be performing at the Super Bowl.
Super Bowl LVIII, which will take place on Sunday, February 11 at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium, and will air on CBS, has an incredible lineup of musical performers that have been announced.

He reacted to the exciting news in a statement that read, “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. Thank you to the fans and everyone who made this opportunity happen. I’ll see you real soon.”
Usher teased what fans can expect from his 13-minute performance in an interview on CBS Mornings in September. “I definitely have a long list of people whom I’ve collaborated with and also, a long list of songs that mean something so much to people,” he said. “So I’m trying to figure out how to entertain people, make certain that they understand the legacy, enjoy the moment, and make certain that they have a show that they’ll never forget.”
In an interview with Vogue, the “Yeah!” hitmaker promised that R&B will “take the main stage” at his Super Bowl performance. “Not just R&B music, but R&B performance, R&B connection, R&B spirit,” he said. “I’ve been doing this for 30 years. I want people who have been a part of that journey to feel like it’s a celebration for everybody, for all of us, from the beginning up until this point.”
Tiësto Cancels His Performance
Tiësto, whose real name is Tijs Verwest, was originally slated to be the Super Bowl’s first-ever in-game DJ. He was going to play music to get the crowd amped up for the game and offer music throughout the match. He shared that he regretted that he needed to step down from the game in a post on X. “Me and my team have been preparing something truly special for months, but a personal family emergency is forcing me to return home Sunday morning. It was a tough decision to miss the game, but family always comes first,” he wrote.
