Attendees and viewers can expect high-energy performances and potential surprise guest appearances. The opening ceremony will feature the legendary band Green Day, kicking off the festivities and celebrating six decades of Super Bowl history. For the national anthems, Charlie Puth will perform the U.S. National Anthem, while Coco Jones will sing “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” recognized as the Black National Anthem.
