Musicians are Sports Nuts Too. They Got Their Game on, at their Super Bowl Concerts & Parties.

 By Laura Medina

Unless these are musicians' die-hard fans, the majority of people are pleasantly surprised to learn that their favorite musician, singer, and hip-hop artist are sport nuts, off duty.

"Mr. Soft Rock," John Mayer kicked off Super Bowl with his Pandora concert celebrating the Super Bowl.

Bravo's host, Andy Cohen introduced John Mayer.

In 2019 and 2020, the Bud Light Super Bowl Music Fest redefined the role of music at one of the biggest sporting events in the world with unforgettable cross-genre performances from all-star acts. The three-day entertainment spectacular has featured unique and never-before-paired line-ups with artists including Bruno Mars and Cardi B.; Post Malone and Aerosmith; Maroon 5, and Dan + Shay with a surprise performance from Demi Lovato; Ludacris, Ciara, Migos, T.I., Lil Jon, and Young Jeezy; DJ Khaled & Friends Meek Mill, and Megan Thee Stallion; as well as a special night with Guns N' Roses and special guest Snoop Dogg. The New York Times called the Bud Light Super Bowl Music Fest the "Extended Super Bowl Halftime Show" in 2019 and declared the fest an "Epic Bash" in 2020. People Magazine declared the event has "Super Bowl dominance" and Billboard raved about the "All-star lineup." 

Bud Light Super Bowl Music Fest series is an emerging unsung gem-pun intended.

For a scribe who covers rising musical talent and festivals, Bud Light Super Bowl Music Fest is great value of a music festival.

Each night of the three nights festival clocks in at three to four hours of Grammy-quality acts and performance.

The first night has Halsey and Machine Gun Kelly.

The second night has Mickey Guyton open for Gwen Stefani, then Gwen Stefani opened then performed with her husband, self-effacing Blake Shelton.  He joked that having to follow his wife was a tough act then asked the audience for a sing-along.

This lasted four hours.

Bud Light Super Bowl Music Fest saved the best for last.

Third and last night was Miley Cyrus and Green Day, the night before the big game.

"Los Angeles is the epicenter of sports and entertainment, and we're thrilled to host this incredible festival for a celebration of everything the city represents," said On Location President, Paul Caine. "This unforgettable staple of Super Bowl weekend anchors an exciting slate of On Location experiences."

"We're absolutely thrilled that our Bud Light Super Bowl Music Fest is returning to bring passionate music and football fans' never seen before performances," said Lane Joyce, Director of Experiential Marketing for Bud Light. "With this year's festival taking place in the iconic Staples Center, we're excited about the line-up of musicians we have brought together across various genres, and can't wait to bring people in Los Angeles even more fun to what is already set to be a big weekend."

"STAPLES Center and L.A. LIVE are incredibly excited and honored to host three amazing nights of music as part of Super Bowl Music Fest," Lee Zeidman, President, STAPLES Center, Microsoft Theater and L.A. LIVE. "We look forward to welcoming music and football fans to downtown as part of Super Bowl week in Los Angeles."

"Bud Light Super Bowl Music Fest has quickly become one of the most anticipated fan events of the week. Three nights of incredible talent at an amazing venue in Los Angeles as the Super Bowl returns to the city for the first time in nearly 30 years will make this year's music fest the most exciting ever," said NFL EVP of Club Business & Events, Peter O'Reilly.

In addition to top-level music talent spanning a range of genres, the festival  features surprise appearances by celebrities and athletes. An array of premium seating is available, including suite and club packages plus options for premium hospitality. 

Don't you know Super Bowl parties are also charity events.  It's Hollywood celebrating the Super Bowl. The LA Ram Cheerleaders showed up.

You'll be amazed by how much Hollywood are sports nuts, a nice break from their careers.
