But the Super Bowl LX weekend already has a main character, and it’s Teddy Swims. The Grammy-nominated singer will headline the official Super Bowl LX Tailgate Concert, presented by NetApp. Peacock will livestream the set at 3:50 p.m. ET on February 8, right before kickoff. Still, the plan isn’t only for streamers at home.



iHeart will also carry the concert live across about 120 radio stations and inside the iHeartRadio app. In contrast to typical pregame filler, this looks like a real show with big-stage production. And yet, it keeps the focus simple: one of the year’s most searched voices warming up the biggest sports day.

Levi’s Stadium Tailgate Zone Turns Into a Live Music Arena

Nevertheless, the location matters as much as the name on the poster. The NFL will stage the Tailgate Concert outside Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, inside its large pregame tailgate zone. Fans can roll in early, grab food, and catch the performance before heading toward the gates. On the flip side, listeners who skip the traffic can still feel plugged in via radio and app coverage.

Bay Area rapper LaRussell will open the show, and he will also serve as the in-stadium house band on game day. And still, the headline stays clear for SEO and for fans: Teddy Swims plus Super Bowl LX plus a Peacock livestream. It’s a clean combo, kinda perfect.

More Star Power: Green Day, Bad Bunny, and the Big Anthems

Above all, the tailgate concert fits into a stacked Super Bowl LX music schedule. The Super Bowl LX Opening Ceremony will feature Green Day, so the day starts loud and fast. After all, the NFL wants viewers locked in well before the first snap. Bad Bunny will headline the halftime show, bringing global pop heat to the biggest TV window.

In comparison, the ceremonial performances aim for emotion over volume, but they still draw huge interest. Charlie Puth will sing the National Anthem, while Brandi Carlile will perform “America the Beautiful.” Coco Jones will deliver “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” and the whole lineup leans heavily into mainstream star power
