Nashville to Host Super Bowl LXIV in 2030: Is Country Coming Back to the Halftime Show?

The Super Bowl is headed to Music City in 2030.

The National Football League announced on Tuesday morning (May 19) that it intends to bring the Super Bowl LXIV to Nashville’s new Nissan Stadium. Nashville previously hosted the NFL Draft in 2019, drawing an estimated 600,000 fans over that weekend.

“The 2019 NFL Draft in Nashville was one of the greatest fan events in our history,” NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. “Super Bowl LXIV at the new stadium is the next step in this remarkable football journey. The vision of Amy Adams Strunk and the Tennessee Titans helped make this moment possible. With great partners at the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp. and Tennessee Titans, we can’t wait to put on an unforgettable show in 2030.”

“Hosting the Super Bowl is a defining moment for Nashville and Tennessee and reflects years of work to build Music City into a globally recognized destination for music, entertainment, and live events,” Deana Ivey, Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp president & CEO, said in a statement. “This event is an incredible opportunity to showcase the dynamic and creative character of Nashville to a global audience and to deliver a Super Bowl experience that is distinctly Music City, where music, sports, culture, and hospitality come together in a way few cities can match. We are grateful to the NFL for the confidence they have placed in our community. Nashville has earned a reputation for hosting major events at the highest level, and we are ready to welcome the world.”

“We are thrilled that the new Nissan Stadium will host Nashville’s first Super Bowl in 2030,” Tennessee Titans controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk said in a statement. “This is an exciting moment for our city and our entire state. We cannot wait for our community to experience an event of this magnitude and for the world to see the energy, hospitality, and culture that make our city so special on a global stage. Thank you to Commissioner Goodell, my fellow owners, and the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp. for their partnership throughout this process. We look forward to bringing an unforgettable Super Bowl experience to Nashville together.”

Given Nashville’s status as Music City, time will tell what musical offerings the 2030 Super Bowl will highlight. Nashville, of course, is well known as a central hub for the country music industry, but it is also home to contemporary Christian/gospel, hip-hop, R&B and bluegrass artists.

Country singers have regularly performed the national anthem at the Super Bowl, especially in recent years, with artists including Chris Stapleton, Mickey Guyton, Eric Church and Reba McEntire doing the honors. However, country artists have been a rare sight on the Super Bowl Halftime Show stage.

In 1994, country music was the centerpiece of the halftime show, when The Judds, Clint Black, Tanya Tucker and Travis Tritt performed a full country halftime show, including songs such as “It’s A Little Too Late,” “Love Can Build a Bridge” and “T-R-O-U-B-L-E.” Shania Twain headlined the halftime show in 2003.

The 2026 Super Bowl was held at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. Bad Bunny headlined the Super Bowl Halftime Show, while pop singer Charlie Puth sang the national anthem accompanied by Kenny G, members of the Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir, the Sainted Trap Choir and the Color of Noize Orchestra. Brandi Carlile performed “America The Beautiful,” while Coco Jones sang “Lift Every Voice and Sing.”
