Yes, you read that right. Dance music is coming to the Super Bowl. Sport’s biggest party has finally arrived. My favorite day in American culture. The biggest annual sports event. Such a mighty celebration requires nothing but the best in every sense of the word. Teams, commentators, staff, and of course, a proper DJ to keep the party going! Yesterday, the NFL announced that the man in charge of setting fire to the Super Bowl in-game party will be no other than the legendary Tiësto!
The Super Bowl is the biggest stage in entertainment. It doesn’t matter if you don’t like football. Millions tune in during the first or second weekend of February, even if only for 15 minutes, intending to watch one of the most expensive shows on earth. This year’s halftime show will be performed by Usher. No, I don’t get it either.
A Terrible Headlining Choice
In what might be the most controversial announcement in recent years for the Super Bowl halftime show, the organizers showed they have no clue about the current music scene. Selecting an artist that was at its popularity peak a decade ago is nothing but the ultimate boomer move.
The in-stadium crowd, however, appears to have gotten luckier than us poor devils stuck with this mediocre show. Tiësto, who’s no stranger to performing on big stages for sports events, is sure to set the entire place ablaze. We hope that this will help the halftime show organizers realize that a DJ happens to be the perfect act to book for this specific show. Diplo, David Guetta, DJ Snake. The list goes on and on.
Dance music is known for its unreal production, heavy stages, and amazing stadium shows. What is the NFL waiting to tap this massive market? Hopefully, after next Sunday, all of this we’ll be no more. Tiësto is going to the Super Bowl!
