Billboard predicts future SB performers
Quote:
Guessing next year's Super Bowl halftime performer is a relatively easy task: after all, there are only a handful of current artists with a wide-enough appeal to follow in the footsteps of Beyonce, Madonna, Bruno Mars and this year's scheduled performer, Katy Perry. But the next 10 Super Bowls? That's an exercise in absolute futility. After all, very few music fans knew who Katy Perry was 10 years ago -- in 2005, she was still three years away from "I Kissed a Girl" -- and Bruno Mars' ascension to Super Bowl status took barely a half-decade. The truth is, the Super Bowl in 2025 will likely be headlined by an artist whom none of us have heard of at this point.
For argument's sake, however, let's hypothetically say that we are acquainted with the artists set to perform at the next 10 Super Bowl halftime shows. Who would they be? One can make a few educated assumptions at the very least, based on the artists that have been booked to perform for hundreds of millions of viewers at the Super Bowl over the past decade, as well as projecting the careers of our biggest and brightest pop personalities. For instance, the NFL has moved away from established rock artists in recent years, favoring wide-reaching pop stars instead of classic bands; therefore, there's no reason to assume acts like the Foo Fighters or Coldplay will be headlining the Super Bowl if they haven't already. And although it's reasonable to suggest that artists like Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Shakira and Ed Sheeran could all end up playing a Super Bowl, these 10 picks are simply the best bets based on all of the current evidence.
Behold: my picks for the 10 next Super Bowl halftime performers.
