Jack White, Post Malone and Lil Jon will headline the NFL’s Thanksgiving Day games.
The NFL announced Monday that the artists will deliver three halftime performances during the games set for Thanksgiving Day.
On Thursday, Nov. 27, Detroit-native White will perform during the Detroit Lions Thanksgiving Halftime Show powered by Verizon when the Lions take on the Green Bay Packers at 1 p.m. ET on FOX. (The Lions are usually one of two teams to play every year on Thanksgiving as part of NFL tradition, alongside the Dallas Cowboys.) Renowned gospel musician CeCe Winans will perform the national anthem.
Malone will take the stage at halftime of the Cowboys versus the Kansas City Chiefs at 4:30 p.m. ET on CBS. Malone’s performance will mark the official launch of The Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Campaign.
Lil Jon will perform live at the Baltimore Ravens game against the Cincinnati Bengals at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC. Tony winner Renée Elise Goldsberry will sing the national anthem at the Ravens-Bengals game.
Now in its 29th year, the Red Kettle Kickoff is a Texas-sized Cowboys tradition for one of the largest, longest-running annual fundraisers of its kind. The iconic halftime show issues a rallying cry to donate to The Salvation Army’s work in communities nationwide.
The performers’ lineup was announced amid Eminem entering a multi-year partnership with the Detroit Lions to executive produce the football team’s Thanksgiving Halftime Show. The rap icon and his manager, Paul Rosenberg, will both be executive producers, and they’ll consult the Lions for booking talent on the yearly halftime show through 2027, the NFL said.
Jay-Z and Roc Nation have helped produce the Super Bowl Halftime Show since 2019. Bad Bunny will headline the show this coming February.
