February 13, 2023 is again Super Bowl. The 57th National Football League (NFL) Finals takes place in Glendale, Arizona. The Duel: The Kansas City Chiefs meet the Philadelphia Eagles.
Almost a billion people will probably watch this mega event again. For the Americans, the football final has long been an unofficial holiday. But this huge sports event is also becoming more and more popular with us – as a TV event, in proper style with friends, chips and chicken wings.
That certainly has something to do with the legendary show acts. Because the halftime show is as attractive as the football match itself. Every super star would like to be there and put on a spectacular performance.
Five rap stars were booked for 2022: Dr. Dre, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, and Mary J Blige.
In 2023, Rihanna is rocking the stage!
