Gwen Stefani to headline Super Bowl LVIII TikTok Tailgate

Gwen Stefani will headline the Super Bowl LVIII TikTok Tailgate.

The 54-year-old star will be the main performer at the pregame party before the NFL’s flagship game on February 11.

Gwen said in a statement: “We all know how massive of an event Super Bowl is, and I am so honoured I get to be a part of it and perform at the Super Bowl TikTok Tailgate.”

Stefani will perform a 50-minute set from Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium. The line-up will also include NFL special guests and TikTok creators.

This is the fourth year of the NFL’s partnership with TikTok for the tailgate show and it will be available to watch on the NFL’S TikTok account.

Some of Gwen’s performance will also be shown on CBS’s ‘Super Bowl LVIII Pregame Show’.

Miley Cyrus headlined the first TikTok tailgate in 2021, with The Chainsmokers in 2022 and The Black Keys and Jason Derulo in 2023.

Meanwhile, Usher will headline the Super Bowl halftime show this year.

Usher – who joined Black Eyed Peas on stage during their 2011 Super Bowl gig – previously admitted he had been waiting some time to get the call to headline the sporting show.

He told Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1: “I think being able to see performances from artists like Michael [Jackson], you know, eventually Prince, and then even more modern-day artists… I was like, ‘Man, at some point I need to get a call with what’s going on now.’

“But I’m really happy that I’m joining that short list of legacy artists from my genre who deserve this moment.

“And I’m really happy that Jay-Z and also Roc Nation really put thought into making certain that they could bring to the world this kind of experience. It is definitely going to be a moment to remember.”

The 45-year-old singer has also enlisted the services of his 14-year-old son Naviyd to be his “musical director” for the show.

Speaking on ‘Today With Hoda and Jenna’, he spilled: “The greatest list I received is actually from my son, Naviyd. He is my musical director.

“He has given me a curation of how much time in addition to the songs.”
