Platinum-selling pop star headlines Super Bowl LX Tailgate Concert

Teddy Swims is set to headline the Super Bowl LX Tailgate Concert presented by NetApp — the NFL’s top pregame party — at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara on Feb. 8.

The Grammy-nominated pop singer, who is also scheduled to perform at the 2026 BottleRock Napa Valley festival, will take the stage prior to the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks battling it out to decide this year’s NFL champion.

Bay Area hip-hop artist LaRussell will open the show.

The Tailgate Concert takes place outside the regular venue in, what a news release describes, as an “expansive stadium campus” — which we assume is PR speak for a parking lot.

Because, well, that’s pretty much where all good tailgate parties take place.

The concert will also be livestreamed on Peacock at 12:50 p.m. The audio will also be broadcast live on 120 iHeart stations across the country and the iHeartRadio app.

“The Super Bowl is one of those events I grew up watching with my dad and brothers and have always dreamed of being at and performing,” says Swims, who is known for the smash hit “Lose Control” and other popular songs. “Coming from a football family — I played and watched my whole life — the Super Bowl was a favorite past time for me and my family to get around and hang together. It’s an honor to be a part of it and kick off the game!”

Vallejo hip-hop star LaRussell, who will also be performing as the in-stadium house band at Levi’s on Super Bowl Sunday, is thrilled to be part of the festivities.

“Music has taken me places I never imagined, and Super Bowl is definitely one of them,” LaRussell says. “Being part of Super Bowl week in my hometown means the world to me.”
