Bruno Mars To Play Super Bowl XLVIII Halftime Show: It's Official
By Andrew Hampp, N.Y. | September 08, 2013 1:13 PM EDT
It's official: Bruno Mars will play the Pepsi Super Bowl XLVIII Halftime Show
on Feb. 2, 2014.
Reports of the "Locked Out Of Heaven" singer's booking started circulating
when the Los Angeles Times broke the news Friday, and were confirmed
throughout the weekend. Mars himself made the announcement in Times Square
around 12:30 ET Sunday on "Fox NFL Sunday," alongside co-hosts Curt Menefee
and Terry Bradshaw and analysts Howie Long, Jimmy Johnson, Michael Strahan
and Jay Glazer.
A minute-long trailer chronicling Mars' rise as childhood Elvis impersonator
to global superstar was posted shortly after the announcement to Mars'
YouTube channel. Coincidentally, Mars became the fastest male artist to score
five No. 1s on the Billboard Hot 100 since Elvis Presley.
The Super Bowl is traditionally the most-watched U.S. television event every
year, but the Halftime Show often scores higher ratings than the game itself.
Madonna's 2012 performance currently ranks as the most-watched event in U.S.
television history, with over 114 million viewers tuning in. Beyonce's 2013
performance, the first Halftime sponsored by Pepsi, attracted 110.5 million.
With Super Bowl XLVIII coming to the New York area next year, the city should
expect a lot more music before Bruno Mars takes the stage. The NFL is
prepping a series of concerts in at least four of the five NYC boroughs plus
New Jersey in the days leading up to the Super Bowl, with VH1 as its
broadcast partner. Look for brands like Bud Light, Pepsi, Citi and others to
host their own music-related activity during Super Bowl Week as well.
